Overview
About this game
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, and then as something to be handled. 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. You place monitors. You 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. Get your work done. Just know: the fog seeps into everything: metal, flesh, organ, memory.
YOUR HEART IS NUMB.
Amara. You brought her 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.
