Our take on Hell is Us
The navigation system trades explicit guidance for self-directed discovery. Removing maps, compasses, and quest markers makes the route through the semi-open world less immediately clear, placing more responsibility on environmental reading and personal decisions.
What is Hell is Us?
Hell is Us is a third-person action-adventure game set in an isolated country divided by civil war and affected by a mysterious calamity.
The disaster has produced supernatural creatures that modern weapons cannot defeat. Players explore a semi-open world, investigate the origin of the creatures, and uncover secrets connected to the protagonist’s past. Combat uses swords, spears, and axes, while a drone serves as another tool during encounters. Exploration omits maps, compasses, and quest markers, requiring players to choose directions and follow clues through the environment. The game combines melee fights with exploration across lands occupied by hostile chimeras.
