Setting
Things Too Ugly takes you on a trip to the past, set against the Mississippi River in 1986. A puzzle game at heart, Things Too Ugly utilizes the 1986 time period to bring you retro PCs, floppy disks, and various other technologies that will play a role in the game’s puzzles. The time period also allows the game to boast a unique aesthetic, playing on the nostalgia of the 80s. The game then twists the nostalgia against you through means of environmental horror and a “tense, interactive story.”
