It's 1986, and you are the new Risk Assessment Data Processor for TEREBRO INC. The future of the corporation hinges on you and your discoveries deep within their data systems.

You have a small yellow radio, a display of photos, some file folders, a cup of coffee, and a model jet plane in front of you, and an assignment on the computer screen. "Incident File 12.1 - Terebro intensified the search for natural resources in the late 1950s. Incident files 12.1-5 contain important data regarding a series of events during and after a seismic test in the Mississippi River. Task 1: Which submersible water craft was launched in the Mississippi River and at what depth? Task 2: Reproduce the conditions of the subsequent seismic thumper test. A round paper decoder sits on your desk calendar, dating April 1986. The decoder is set to R with a symbol to match. You have drawn some small doodles on the calendar, including a man peaking over the corner and a tiny house. April 18th is labelled "LEGEND!" while the 25th has a note "test new software" and points towards the 26th.

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.
A black and white polaroid of delicate, thin, white crystals on a flat silvery surface. Across the front of the photo, handwritten in Sharpie, are the words "January 16th, 2025, Things Too Ugly." A screenshot from the game, Things Too Ugly. It's an old, vintage, retro office space with wood paneling, and it's poorly lit. A chunky computer monitor with a bulky keyboard and intercom are centered in the frame. The monitor is black with white text that reads, "Terebro Laboratories." On the right, a UI element hovers in space next to the monitor so players can "log in" to the computer. It says, Veri-Fi Risk Assessment and Management Software. Please await your supervisors instructions. User Id, Passcode, and Shift Code are empty and waiting for the player to enter correct answers.

Wishlist Things Too Ugly for January 16th launch! It's a short game with a timely narrative. It's wild to see it fully come to life after all this time, and I hope people enjoy it. 🤗 #newyearnewgames #pointandclick #gamedev #indiegame

Check it out on Steam:
store.steampowered.com/app/2848750/...
A dim screen with a retro computer monitor in the center. Text is blurred. A plant, handheld radio, coffee mug, and toy circle the monitor. Part of a calendar is visible at the bottom says 1986. Text reads: Thing Too Ugly. As a Terebro Inc. risk assessment and management data processor, you protect the company's legacy. Set against the Mississippi River in 1986, Things Too Ugly twists experimental narratives within a challenging puzzle game. Wielding retro technologies, nostalgic aesthetics, and environmental horror, Things Too Ugly deliveries a tense, interactive story. In your antiquated workspace, you navigate instruments and sift through documents illuminated by the incandescent bulb of a desk lamp and the moonlight. Static crackles through the tunes playing on a portable radio as you parse data. Unusual diagrams and photos draw you in as you cull eerie details and archived files.

Things Too Ugly, set in 1986, features this chunky wood veneer keyboard with a hefty monitor and high-tech intercom. Unfortunately, corporate has set the intercom to work only one way- and your boss is calling. #beepbeepbeep #interfacehorror #corportatelabor #puzzlegame #gamedev #steamgame
A screenshot from Things Too Ugly shows a close up of a dated giant computer monitor that reads Terebro Laboratories. The computer has dated keyboard. A UI element hovers to the left to show how you log in to the computer with user id, passcode, and shift code. Veri-Fi risk assessment and management software, please wait for your supervisor's instructions.

Screenshot of a comment on Nintendo Insider website from User "Bubba" reads "game looks dull as hell." Things Too Ugly title card image. A chunky computer monitor hovers over muddy water. Office supplies circles. Scattered photos, files, a radio, desk lamp, and spilled coffee float without gravity mid air.
