About the Game

"The Scourge" is a first person horror puzzle game, immersing you in the heart of Saigon (Vietnam) through urban legends from the 1990s. You will follow the tragic fate of a family and the main character, who made mistakes in the past and is now haunted by a sinister supernatural force.

The protagonist, a person overwhelmed by delusions due to past tragedies and life's despair, frequently finds himself in nightmares. In these dreams, the line between reality and illusion becomes blurred. To rediscover his inner light and escape from the shadows of his past, he must confront his sorrows, make amends for his mistakes, and defeat the most formidable enemy that exists not only in his mind but also in the real world.

Starting in a rundown apartment during an era of an unnamed epidemic, where mysteries and supernatural phenomena occur incessantly, you'll need to use your intellect to solve intricate puzzles, explore new areas, and prepare for the ultimate showdown. Every decision, every action, will determine his fate and future. Stay alert and be ready to face all challenges.
