About Hell is Us
Hell is Us is a 3rd‑person action‑adventure set in a semi‑open region torn by civil war and a mysterious calamity. Players wield an ancient sword and a drone to confront supernatural chimeras that resist modern weapons.
The game removes traditional navigation aids, urging players to rely on instinct while exploring. Its narrative emphasizes the endless cycle of human violence, framed by the eerie, creature‑infested landscape.
01 / THE GUIDE
Hostile World and Calamity
The region is split by a civil war and a mysterious calamity that has birthed supernatural creatures. Modern firearms cannot defeat these beings, making the ancient sword and drone essential tools for survival.
This backdrop creates a landscape where conflict zones and eerie, creature‑filled areas coexist, forcing players to balance combat readiness with curiosity as they traverse the semi‑open world.
- Observe environmental cues such as ruined structures to anticipate creature encounters.
- Contrast heavily damaged zones with quieter areas to gauge threat density.
02 / THE GUIDE
Instinct‑Driven Exploration
There is no map, compass, or quest markers; navigation relies entirely on player instinct. The level design and writing guide progress, making each discovery personal and untracked by external systems.
Because the world is semi‑open, players can choose varied routes, and the lack of UI prompts encourages organic decision‑making rather than scripted direction.
- Mark mental landmarks like distinctive rocks to avoid unnecessary backtracking.
- Compare your chosen path with alternative routes to experience different environmental storytelling.
03 / THE GUIDE
Melee Combat and Drone Use
A range of weapons—swords, spears, and axes—are forged specifically for battling the supernatural creatures. Mastery of each weapon’s reach and speed is crucial for effective combat.
The drone acts as a supportive tool; strategic deployment alongside melee attacks is necessary because modern weapons are ineffective against the chimeras.
- Swap between weapon types to discover which feels most comfortable against a given enemy.
- Watch the drone’s position relative to enemy attacks to maximize its supportive role.
