Miryam: The Polluted Land Set for March 28 – A Psychological Tower Defense Game About Childhood Trauma and Self-Redemption

A Tower Defense Game That Explores Psychological Scars

Launching on March 28, 2025, Miryam: The Polluted Land, developed by 6.5F Studio and published by Vsoo Games, is more than just a tower defense game—it’s an emotional journey into the mind of a child struggling with trauma. Blending strategic gameplay with psychological storytelling, the game immerses players in a world where childhood wounds manifest as monstrous threats.

A Battle Against Monsters—or Inner Demons?

Ten-year-old Miryam is trapped between two worlds—bullied at school, neglected at home. One night, overwhelmed by resentment, she whispers a wish she doesn’t fully mean:

"I wish you would disappear."

And then, her baby brother is gone. As if the universe had listened—and obeyed. But the cost is steep—Miryam herself is cast into the Land of Nod, a twisted, cursed world filled with horrors that seem eerily familiar.

To survive, she must fight back, using defensive structures to hold off waves of grotesque creatures. Yet, each monster reflects a piece of her past—the bullies who mocked her, the neglect she suffered, the lies she was forced to accept.

“For the first time, as she crushed the creatures that tormented her, she felt a rush of control—something she had never known in the real world.”

But the deeper she ventures, the more she questions:
Is she searching for her brother… or running from herself?

Developer's Vision

Song, Lead Developer at 6.5F Studio, hopes the game will resonate with players beyond its strategic mechanics:

"Childhood trauma is often ignored or dismissed, but its effects can last a lifetime. Through Miryam’s story, we hope players reflect on these struggles and recognize the importance of supporting children who feel lost, unheard, or unloved."

Gameplay: Psychological Storytelling Meets Strategic Tower Defense
  • Monsters of the Mind – Face 40+ unique enemies, each embodying Miryam’s past trauma, from schoolyard tormentors to the silent suffocation of neglect.
  • Strategic Defense – Build and deploy 20+ defensive structures, from explosive clay pots to fog-clearing moths, to hold back relentless waves of creatures.
  • A Unique Tower Defense Experience – Inspired by PvZ mechanics, but without traditional resource collection—focus on strategic placement and resource balancing.
  • An Emotional Journey – Every battle is more than just survival; it’s a confrontation with Miryam’s deepest fears and unresolved pain.
