Things Too Ugly is on Steam and consoles January 16th, 2025. You're stuck working the night shift for a natural resources company. Your job is to examine records from past decades- you read, test new software, and move on. Right? #mystery #puzzle #psychologicalhorror #storyrich #indiedevs

Kevin was gracious enough to select me to be one of the content creators to receive an early copy of the game, AND LET ME TELL YOU... YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT! It's short (took me 3.5 hours to complete), but it was very good! I didn't expect the story to go that way 😳 BUY IT & SEE!!

I started making this on a holiday in late 2022. I didn't know if I would finish, or if anyone would play it, or if it was just an exercise. For #indiedevs, it's special to recognize when a project sparks and gains momentum. I hope players experience the care and spirit in which this was crafted.

Thank you, GameSpew! If you're looking for a short game this month, the Things Too Ugly launch day is just around the corner! πŸ’Ύ ⏰✨ #indiedev #pointandclick

Things Too Ugly is in a 1986 corporate office. You're stuck at your desk for the night shift- digging through files, listening to your boss, and passing the time. You must stay put, but the environment is loaded with history, stories, and meaning. #puzzlegame #indiedev #corporations #labor #rurality

β€œAt the risk of sounding pretentious, the medium is the message,” she [Kasurinen] said. This article is a fascinating and timely read about a curious game directly responding to human dynamics. Off I go to play this today.
