Things Too Ugly

Things Too Ugly is a first-person psychological horror game about working as a Risk Assessment Data Processor at TEREBRO INC. in 1986. During a night shift in your office, you examine the corporation’s archives, connect clues across documents and recordings, and decide what to do with the truths you uncover.

The archives

You investigate records of TEREBRO INC.’s past, using logical deduction and deciphering encoded messages to piece together its hidden history. A supervisor’s voice guides you through the archives as you consider whether the discoveries you make could preserve or damage the company’s future.

Your workspace

By the light of a desk lamp and the moon, with a radio humming nearby, you work through the material. Your tools include a GPS and an encoder device. Documents and decisions bring you closer to choosing whether to protect the company’s legacy or reveal what lies behind it.

Investigative tools

• GPS: inspect maps, which can be enlarged with a zoom-capable camera.
• Encoder device: use it as you investigate encoded messages.
• Help menu: review character dialogue as text or audio files.
• Zoom-capable camera: enlarge file folder contents as well as GPS maps.
