Hell takes you on a lonely, uncomfortable walk through a surreal, chilling afterlife.
Taking about five minutes of your time, Hell offers your newly-dead self a few minutes to explore an eerie world. Places filled with plants and machines, as well as open fields and strange presences, will meet you on your journey. These visions make comprehension difficult, forcing you to struggle to comprehend your place in a cosmos where you’ve left your physical body behind.
Hell makes use of sound and near-silent tunes to give this place a sometimes-menacing, often disorienting life. It loans the events a chilling power, even when the game seems to be playing around with the player. By the end, this use of audio will load your own existence outside the game with a nameless dread, as if something has gone dangerously wrong well beyond your understanding.
Hell is a short, taut horror experience that you’ll try to force yourself to laugh at, even as you hesitate when you move to flick off the lights at bed time.
Hell is available for free on Itch.io.
