MSCS-GAME (SphinxUT)

A semi–open-world 2D adventure filled with puzzles, quirky NPCs, fun minigames, and an underlying mysterious narrative.

Overview

MSCS-GAME (SphinxUT) is a 2D top-down adventure taking place inside a stylized Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science department. The world is lighthearted and playful, but everything hides a subtle mystery the player uncovers by exploring, talking to characters, and solving challenges.

Players freely move through multiple connected scenes, interact with students and professors, discover secrets, and progress through quests as they search for the truth behind a strange phenomenon affecting the department.
