welcome, poor unfortunate souls.

You’re looking for something. You’re not sure what. You don’t know the shape, color, sound, or feel of it—but you know that it’s out there. Out here in this place that you’re introduced to as Purgatory. The shadows around you coalesce into mazes and the walls seem to whisper. Strangers are in the same circumstances as you and yet none of you seem to know any better than the other. All you can agree on is one thing: you cannot—no, that’s not quite right. You refuse to leave without whatever you came here to look for.

Now you just need to figure out exactly what that is.


game info.

Welcome to Purgastory, a six-ish week invite-only short-term game that will be focused on character arcs and relationship building. The game will have an assortment of themes floating around that will handle the unpacking of trauma, engaging in self-reflection, and pursuit of the betterment of the self… or not! You can, in fact, get worse! We’re not the boss of you. Characters will arrive to Purgatory with the memory that they came here to look for something, but do not remember what. They can only hope that engaging with the assortment of mazes that appear each week will bring them closer to what they seek. The mystery will be unraveled gradually over the weeks, and character choices will determine the personal resolution that they come to by the end of the game runtime.

Weekly mazes will have horror elements with an emphasis on character exploration and relationship building. That said, we’re also not going to tell you that you can’t get a little silly! The game—and Purgatory—is what you make of it.

Hope you find what you’re looking for in our little slice of Unknown.

More information will be found in our Game Information and Frequently Asked Questions pages. A note for those considering multiple characters is that while at game start, we will ask that you only app one character, there may be the opportunity to app an additional character midway through the game.

When you have a second, please join our Discord using the invite that was sent to you! We look forward to playing with you!
