'''''Swamp Sim''''' is a fan-made ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' horror game made in the style of ''VideoGame/{{Slender}}''. You play as an unnamed character who is going through the titular ogre's swamp, collecting onions while trying to avoid capture by Shrek himself.

The game is essentially a ''Slender'' game with a ''Shrek'' skin, one that takes the "Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life" meme and plays it up for sheer terror... and manages to be just as scary as the original ''Slender'', possibly more so in some areas, with a touch of hilarity.

[[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Despite the title]], this is not a ''VideoGame/SimCity'' or ''Franchise/TheSims'' game with a swamp theme. A Lets Play video by LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}} can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBpyPnm79Tk here]].

!!Hi everybody, and welcome the Shrek and the Trope Karaoke Dance Party!

* BlackScreenOfDeath: Red, actually, but the concept is the same.
* [[spoiler:DancePartyEnding: Your "reward" for beating the game is Shrek on the title screen, dancing to "Riding" by Silent Partner.]]
* DiscretionShot: If you're caught by Shrek, the screen turns red and you can hear a sickening crunching, accompanied by a shout of pain (which is simply Donkey's screams ripped straight from the movie) and followed by Shrek saying "Hey now, you're a rockstar".
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Even if you collect all the onions, Shrek still kills you. At least you're treated to a dancing Shrek on the title screen afterwards...]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: Upon picking up an onion, you'll hear quotes ripped from the movie that have been distorted to sound deeper.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: The most you get is the sound your character makes upon dying, which, being simply Donkey's scream, implies that you're playing as Donkey (though this results in a bit of FridgeLogic with the Donkey corpse found in Shrek's house).
* FollowTheLeader: One of many ''Slender'' games to come out in light of the original, and one of the few that are ''Slender''-style fangames of a pre-existing franchise.
* HouseFire: The state of Shrek's house. Inside, you'll find an onion, as well as [[KillItWithFire the burning corpse of Donkey]].
* JumpScare: Initially not present, but the game was eventually updated to include one of these, which occasionally pops up when you collect an onion and is accompanied by a SensoryAbuse-ish ScareChord.
* LimitedAnimation: In early versions of the game, Shrek was simply a T-posed character model that slid across the ground. One of the updates eventually gave him a running animation.
* NothingIsScarier: The "Punishment Barrel". You don't know who is inside, nor do you know what's happening inside. Regardless, the rattling and shaking implies that whatever is happening isn't exactly a pleasant experience.
* OneHitKill / OneHitPointWonder: As is typical for a ''Slender''-type game.
* SuperDrowningSkills: Trying to jump in the water will only result in you drowning.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Shrek, though unlike Slender Man, he actually chases after you whenever he appears, getting faster and faster the more onions you collect.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: A villainous example. When Shrek starts chasing you, you'll hear a distorted version of "All-Star" by Music/SmashMouth.
