Our take on Snafu

The game folds its rescue story into a business-game progression, so reaching the castle depends on earning money and raising rank rather than moving through horror scenes alone. That structure gives the journey a distinct routine, but leaves less room for a purely narrative, direct route.

What is Snafu?

Snafu is a horror game set inside a medieval business game that has been infiltrated by a glitch.

Play through the game’s usual progression by earning money and increasing rank to reach the castle where Alibaba, its caretaker, is trapped. The journey includes more than one hundred purchases, the option to buy a home, side quests, and conversations with NPCs affected by the glitch. Traps and a pursuing threat add danger, while three endings provide different outcomes. The game includes significant scares, disturbing events and audio, and flashing lights. Its estimated completion time is approximately 80 minutes. Controller support and a save system, including autosave, are also included.

How Snafu plays

01Three endings: The story can conclude in three different ways.
02Save and autosave: Progress can be saved and resumed later, with automatic saving also available.
03Controller support: The game can be played with a controller.
04NPC stories: Conversations reveal how the glitch has affected the characters in the game.
