Overview

PROF-MAN is a frantic, ’80s-style maze arcade game from developer and publisher Prof's Arcade. Released on October 15, 2026, this Action/Indie title drops you into Horror University, where you play a budding scholar of the Terror Arts.

The goal is simple: survive the semester by outrunning the Twiddlers—four horror-movie-hating critic fatheads who give thumbs-down to everything and are determined to end your academic career early.

Highlights

  • Retro Maze Action: The game channels classic arcade maze-chase gameplay with a colorful, top-down 2D presentation and a dark-humor horror theme.
  • Four Distinct Worlds: Race through four worlds of classic horror, each with its own visual and thematic identity.
  • Full Controller Support: The game supports controllers fully, and also offers a keyboard-only option, making it accessible to different play styles.

Who It's For

If you enjoy fast-paced arcade action with a nostalgic twist, or if you like horror-themed games that don't take themselves too seriously, PROF-MAN is a great fit. The dark humor and critic-bashing premise will appeal to anyone who's ever wanted to turn the tables on harsh reviewers.

It's also a solid pick for players who prefer pick-up-and-play sessions with clear objectives and escalating tension.
