The Fog Knows Your Name is a 300,000-word interactive teen horror novel set during your senior year of high school. Your choices shape the text-based story, which has no graphics or sound effects. Six months ago, your classmate Rex Keller was found dead, and you were the last person to see him alive. Half the town, including his sister Ennis, thinks you murdered him; the other half blames the fog.

The town and the fog

People in your town have died whenever the fog rolls in for as long as anyone can remember, but no one knows exactly why. Some say the land sends the fog as vengeance against the colonizers; others believe the Devil collects souls in it, or that it drives people to violence against themselves and one another. Every version of the story agrees that those who die in the fog have harmed someone without confessing. People who admit to causing harm can walk through it unharmed; liars die.

The dead return as ghosts, haunting the town, you, Ennis and your school friends. You must unravel the fog’s mysteries in time to stop the ghosts from killing you.

Choices and relationships

You can play as a female, male or non-binary character, and choose to be gay, straight, bi, ace, aromantic or poly. You can pursue romances with friends and enemies, and choose whether to protect a town that despises you or take revenge on it.

Investigate the fog

You can try to stop the thing in the fog, exorcise the ghosts haunting the town and solve murders using clues found in the fog. You can also enter the fog and die.
