Overview
About this game
Joyful Masks is a 3D first-person psychological puzzle game with atmospheric horror elements, crafted in Unreal Engine 5. Navigate through evolving, self-contained levels that challenge your perception with intricate puzzles, shifting environments, and a haunting story-driven experience.
In a bold experiment, Professor Saggi undergoes a deep, drug-induced coma, allowing his assistant, Kurt, to enter his subconscious through an advanced neuro-interactive system. What begins as a controlled study quickly spirals into a surreal descent through a fractured mind. Familiar university halls transform into something living, shadows move on their own, and buried traumas come to life.
With no combat or jump scares, Joyful Masks builds tension through discovery, immersion, and the quiet unease of a world where reality is ever-shifting. Each puzzle solved peels back another layer of Professor Saggi’s past—until you reach a truth too hard to ignore.
Inspired by the rich atmospheres of historic Italian architecture and the lush countryside, Joyful Masks invites you into a world that feels lived-in yet touched by something just out of reach. Cozy sunlit spaces, overgrown courtyards, and strange dreamlike distortions create a journey that’s both comforting and unsettling.
