Office: (289) 670-2171

The sweltering heat of summer looms over the day camp, but you're determined to make the most of it. As the end of season sleepover approaches, anticipation bubbles within you. You can already taste the "Buradaca Barf," the stew everyone affectionately calls it, and hear the boisterous laughter of your fellow campers as they tell scary tales around the campfire. But something is off. Strange occurrences have been happening, and you can feel an ominous presence lurking around every corner. Kids have gone missing, and no one seems to know what's going on. The once cheerful atmosphere has been replaced by an unsettling stillness, and the air is thick with a palpable sense of dread.

There are secrets buried deep within the woods that surround the camp, and you're determined to uncover them. With each passing day, you explore the camp and its surroundings, piecing together clues that point to a dark and sinister past. The more you discover, the more you realize that something evil is at work, and you fear for your own safety.

You must act fast to unravel the truth and put an end to the terror that has gripped the camp. The clock is ticking, and with every passing moment, you feel the evil presence growing stronger. Will you be able to uncover the truth behind the strange occurrences and stop Old Man Lowville's legacy of horror?

The fate of the camp and its inhabitants lies in your hands.

Experience the story that has terrified two generations of campers

The Creator

As the creator of the 8Blit YouTube channel, where I teach Atari 2600 game programming, it's time for me to create a game that's dear to me.

Growing up with the Atari 2600, playing games with loved ones is an unforgettable memory that's intertwined with my experiences at Camp Buradaca. Thus, I've decided to create a game that combines my love for both the Atari 2600 and Camp Buradaca.

This project could use your support
