Terminal 81

About this game

Terminal 81 is an indie job simulation, mystery, and psychological horror game with retro visual aesthetics. The game takes place in 2008, in a fictitious neighborhood in the city of São Paulo, in Brazil.

As a result of the global financial crisis of 2008, Lorena made the decision to emigrate to the large and wealthy city of São Paulo in order to find work to help her family. Lorena easily managed to get a job in a supermarket, what she did not know is that the neighborhood where she would work was Terminal 81, an old industrial neighborhood plagued by poverty, crime, and filth.



During her stay at Terminal 81, Lorena learns that a group of young women have been kidnapped. Upon exploring the neighborhood and meeting its inhabitants, she realizes that the reality of Terminal 81 is much darker than it seems. What seemed like a simple Latin American neighborhood, with all the bad things that this entails, it is a dangerous area dominated by a mysterious "criminal organization" that carries out murders, prostitution, and human trafficking.

Explore Terminal 81, meet the characters, follow your moral compass, make decisions, and come to a conclusion.

  Terminal 81 - 1.3.8 Security Patch Notes

  -This patch completely fixes the security vulnerability present in many games made with Unity (CVE-2025-59489). At this moment, this vulnerability has not been exploited nor has it caused any problem; however, I highly recommend updating Terminal 81 to this version before launching the game again.

  Serra de Deus – Upcoming Simulation & Psychological Horror Game!

  https://store.steampowered.com/app/3868630/ Hello Steam Community! A few months ago i started working on a new game called 'Serra de Deus'. Genre/Theme: Serra de Deus is a simulation and adventure game with elements of psychological horror. It features a retro aesthetic with PS1-style graphics. Synopsis: After years living in the bustling city of São Paulo, David de Lima decides to return to his hometown, Rio de Janeiro, where he takes over his family’s humble hot dog cart. However, the peace doesn’t last long. David soon realizes that things have changed — a series of strange murders have taken place, and the more he investigates, the more questions arise. These crimes don’t seem to have been committed by gangs or ordinary criminals, but by something far more sinister: a mysterious group of cultists. Protagonist: David de Lima is a 25-year-old from Rio de Janeiro, who graduated in engineering in the city of São Paulo. However, due to difficulties finding a job, David decides to return to the favela where he grew up, Serra de Deus. Location: Serra de Deus is a fictional favela/community located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. Despite facing common issues found in Brazilian outskirts, such as poverty and drug trafficking, this community was relatively peaceful until very recently, when the murders began. Use of AI: In my previous game, Terminal 81R, many people didn’t like the fact that I used a lot of AI-generated images, textures, and music. I want you to know that I’ve heard the criticism and have been learning a lot since then. For this reason, I’ve decided that Serra de Deus will not have AI-generated art — I will strive to use 100% human-made art. Please, add the game to your wishlist if you are interested! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45013879/884ae0ad426be79cbfb1ade6443d018c31d21d07.png
