Scauage

Scauage is a short horror game in which you play a scavenger searching for valuables in the ruins of Prefield. When you enter an old house to loot it, you find yourself caught in a nightmare unfolding around you.

The town of Prefield

Prefield once supported nearby mines and the promise of rich mineral resources. After the mines ran dry, families left in search of better opportunities and the town declined into a ghost town. Marauders and scavengers roam its ruins, while squatters and homeless people shelter in abandoned houses.

You explore a two-story country house that seems to contain something worth taking. The game uses pixelated PS1/PSX-era visuals associated with 1960s America, along with atmospheric 3D sound designed to build dread.

Explore the house

You search for valuable items, solve unconventional puzzles that require thinking outside the box, and make decisions that determine which of the multiple endings you reach. Movement and flashlight mechanics shape how you explore, with paranoia and claustrophobia central to the experience.
