Cream City Chaos: Origins

A 1994 East Side Milwaukee sandbox game, currently in early development.

Early development · Community research ongoing

The East Side as you remember it. Made by Milwaukee, for Milwaukee.

Cream City Chaos: Origins is an indie game set around Milwaukee’s East Side in 1994, built around open world gameplay mechanics, local legends, lost storefronts, weird errands, and the kind of uncanny memories that slip into the subconscious until someone digs them back up.

The game is still early, but the response has been wild. Right now I’m collecting old photos, videos, business names, stories, memories, venue lore, signage, and anything that helps rebuild the era. I want to be sure this project lives up to what we all remember of that crazy little pocket of space and time.
