About the Game
"The Scourge" is a first person horror puzzle game, immersing you in the heart of Saigon (Vietnam) through urban legends from the 1990s. You will follow the tragic fate of a family and the main character, who made mistakes in the past and is now haunted by a sinister supernatural force.
The protagonist, a person overwhelmed by delusions due to past tragedies and life's despair, frequently finds himself in nightmares. In these dreams, the line between reality and illusion becomes blurred. To rediscover his inner light and escape from the shadows of his past, he must confront his sorrows, make amends for his mistakes, and defeat the most formidable enemy that exists not only in his mind but also in the real world.
Starting in a rundown apartment during an era of an unnamed epidemic, where mysteries and supernatural phenomena occur incessantly, you'll need to use your intellect to solve intricate puzzles, explore new areas, and prepare for the ultimate showdown. Every decision, every action, will determine his fate and future. Stay alert and be ready to face all challenges.

To our survivors, our community, and our darkest dreamers,
The day has finally come. Tai Ương | The Scourge is officially LIVE! When we first launched in Early Access, we invited you to step into the haunting urban legends of Saigon. We had a vision of creating a pure, narrative-driven psychological horror experience deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture. Today, that vision is fully realized, but we need to make one thing absolutely clear: we did not cross this finish line alone.
To Our Early Access Survivors: You Built This With Us

It Takes a Village to Raise a Nightmare
We want to express our deepest gratitude to our incredible partners who helped bring this project to life, thank you for believing in our dark vision and walking this terrifying path with us.
But most importantly, I want to thank the core team at Rare Reversee. You guys refused to give up. You stayed fiercely true to our original vision of atmospheric horror over casual jumpscares, pouring your blood, sweat, and trauma into every pixel. We did it.
What’s Next?
This official launch is the ultimate version of The Scourge, but... it is not the end of the nightmare. The curse is far from broken.
Soon, The Scourge will return to haunt you in a completely different form. A new shape. A new shadow.
Can you guess what it is?
Thank you for surviving with us. Now, turn off the lights, put on your headphones, and welcome back to Saigon.
