Ugly is a reflective puzzle platformer set within the desolated recesses of a tormented nobleman’s mind. Players work through puzzle rooms, confront towering bosses and use a mirror that creates a shadowy reflection they can swap places with. The journey centers on uncovering the nobleman’s obscured past in a dark fairytale world filled with secrets and tragedy.

The story unfolds through the puzzle rooms: each one adds a piece to the narrative as the player tries to untangle the nobleman’s past. Solving all the puzzle rooms leads to an interactive ending; completing all the hidden rooms offers a route to an alternate ending.
