Our take on Ad Infernum
The description gives substantial space to improvised routes and unscripted horrors, but the central setup remains a pursuit through a cult-linked desert location toward a final ritual. The range of possible approaches is emphasized more than the story’s structure.
What is Ad Infernum?
After a desert car crash, the protagonist wakes at an abandoned gas station and hears a nearby person over the radio.
The search leads through traces of a missing cult, a cavern, and encounters with creatures. Horrors affect a Nerve meter, with hallucinations and other effects described as unscripted. Combat uses guns and melee weapons that can be upgraded. Supplies can be used or converted into materials for transmutation; collected recipes unlock new items. To avoid pursuers, players can make noise to distract them, hide in shadows, and alter lighting. Movement includes vaulting, sliding, and climbing. Obstacles can be approached in different ways, such as breaking a window, using a hatch, or finding another route through a wall.
