What is Hell is Us?

Hell is Us is a third-person action adventure from Rogue Factor. It is set in Hadea, an isolated land shaped at the same time by a civil war and a mysterious catastrophe. The protagonist Rémi returns there to find answers about his past and encounters supernatural beings against which modern weapons are ineffective.

The game combines a semi-open world with melee combat, exploration and deliberately restrained user guidance. Instead of working through tasks via a classic mission log, the environment itself is meant to give hints about where to go next.

Gameplay

Hell is Us deliberately does without map, compass and quest markers. Players must read descriptions, conversations, architecture and other clues to work out goals and routes themselves. The world is semi-open and combines larger exploration areas with more guided sections.

In combat, Rémi uses swords, spears and axes, among other weapons, as well as the KAPI drone. The supernatural chimeras require different attacks and active interplay between melee and drone abilities. The game is designed entirely as a single-player experience.
