Professor Space Games has confirmed a release date for its first-person narrative puzzler Things Too Ugly on Nintendo Switch.
Working as a risk assessment and management data processor for TEREBRO Inc., it’s time for you to clock in for your night shift and continue to protect the company’s legacy.
With a gameplay experience that has looked to twist “experimental narratives within a challenging puzzle game,” you will work at your antiquated workspace navigating instruments and sifting through documents illuminated by the incandescent bulb of your desk lamp and the moonlight.
As you cull eerie details from archived files, over an intercom your supervisor will lead you through a long-buried episode from the company’s past. Will you set right a decades-old wrong?
The developer has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Find Clues and Solve Puzzles
- Parse information from archived documents, photos, and other ephemera
- Crack challenging math, language, and logic puzzles by triangulating data
- Progress a Timely, Eco-Horror Narrative
- Compelling, voice-acted characters command investment in the narrative
- Mysterious questions culminate in a gripping conclusion
- Experience a Unique Soundtrack
- Find a favourite station on the in-game radio
- ’80s synth meets rurality through tailor-made, late-night programs
Things Too Ugly will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 16 January 2025.
Game looks dull as hell.
