FOGBOUND

FOGBOUND is a psychological horror game set in a decaying city enshrouded by a toxic fog.

YOUR CITY IS HOLLOW.

A post-apocalyptic Lahore is slowly being erased. The fog came gradually, first written off as seasonal pollution. By the time it started eroding minds, leaving had already become its own bureaucratic nightmare. You work for the Air Quality Task Force. You decontaminate zones and place monitors. Try to keep parts of the city running; just a few more jobs, and then you can go home.

THE AIR IS POISON.

Hollow shells of humans roam the city. They call them Sayahs. Shadows. They feed on the space between things. Some are hostile. Others are stranger than that: still able to be talked to, still performing the routines of lives that have already ended. Don't breathe near them, and they won't see you. Just know: the fog seeps into everything: metal or flesh, organ or memory.

YOUR HEART IS NUMB.

Amara. You brought your lover here. To your beautiful city. What a fantastic idea. It's on you to get her out now. Work hard enough, and maybe you'll get your exit forms approved. The air is growing thicker, and things are never so simple.

• Maintenance survival gameplay in placing monitors, managing batteries, moving through contaminated zones to get the job done.
