Hell is Us

Hell is Us is a semi-open world adventure game where the player is not given a map or directions. You have to figure out where to go and why, depending on the situation. The world is engulfed by a strange phenomenon, and the hero is looking for traces of his past, simultaneously dealing with the consequences of the conflict. Fights require movement and preparation, and equipment is selected for a specific location. The absence of clues makes the exploration meaningful: the detail found is more important than the point marked on the map. It’s worth mentioning separately about the lack of signs: routes have to be looked for according to the situation, and finds are valuable precisely because they were found themselves. In addition to battles, there is exploration and puzzles related to the hero's past. Equipment is selected for a specific location, and opponents require movement and preparation. The understated style and unsettling atmosphere keep the tension in check.
