For the spooky season, we’re diving into Metal Garden — a haunting indie game that isn’t technically horror, but absolutely feels like it. Trapped inside a colossal megastructure spanning entire civilizations, Metal Garden hides a story of decay, philosophy, and cosmic scale. In this breakdown, I unpack the game’s mysterious lore, from the fall of Rhea Secretorum to the truth behind the CSMG’s hidden dam project, and the terrifying realization that escape may be impossible. Discover the meaning behind the Counterweight Worlds, the 3-million-year-old AI, and the existential horror buried deep within the game’s atmosphere.
If you love deep sci-fi, worldbuilding, or games that make you question reality itself — this is Metal Garden explained.
