Acerca deste jogo

Welcome to UCSC—well, kind of.

This isn’t the sunny college campus you remember. In this 2D puzzle horror game, you're dropped into a fog-drenched, twisted version of UC Santa Cruz where nothing feels quite right. Familiar landmarks are warped, the silence is heavy, and the mist hides more than just bad weather.

You’ll explore eerie paths and unsettling buildings as you piece together the story behind Markus—a guy with a past so dark, it’s bleeding into reality. Solve creepy puzzles, uncover buried memories, and try not to get too lost in the fog (literally and emotionally). 

Key Features:

• 🧩 Puzzle-Based Exploration: Navigate through haunted versions of labs, libraries, and forest trails. Solve logic puzzles to unlock new areas and piece together fragments of Markus’s mind.

• 🕯️ Atmospheric Horror: Inspired by Silent Hill and Mad Father, this game focuses on slow-building dread, psychological unease, and eerie sound design—not some cheap jump scares.

• 🗺️ A Twisted UCSC Campus: Iconic locations like the Quarry Plaza and Porter Meadow are reimagined in a surreal nightmare. Expect familiar spaces, distorted by guilt and memory.

• 📖 Narrative-Driven Gameplay: Dive into a branching, emotionally charged story with themes of trauma, regret, and identity. Your choices affect how much of Markus’s truth you uncover.

• 🧠 Estimated Playtime: 1–2 hours

Inspired by spooky favorites like Mad Father and the chilling vibes of Silent Hill, this game mixes emotional storytelling with mind-bending mystery. It’s not about cheap scares—it’s about slowly realizing that something’s really wrong here...

On a side note...all characters, locations, and events in this game are entirely fictional. While the setting draws inspiration from the real UC Santa Cruz campus, this is not a reflection of the actual university. Any resemblance to real people—living or dead—is purely coincidental. But the Markus irl is pretty rad 😎 

So grab your flashlight, steady your nerves, and get ready to uncover the secrets hidden in the fog...
Welcome (back?) to UCSC. You might not leave the same.
