A HOSTILE WORLD
As well as the civil war dividing the country, the region is suffering from a mysterious calamity, which has given rise to supernatural creatures that no modern weapon can defeat. Your drone and sword from a different age are your faithful allies as you cut a path through lands infested with terrifying chimeras and try to unravel the mystery of their appearance.

COMBAT AGAINST ORIGINAL CREATURES
Swords, spears and axes: a wide range of weapons forged specially for fighting these supernatural creatures is available. You will need to learn how to fight these monsters and use your drone wisely to stay alive.
"The central theme of Hell is Us is that human violence is a perpetual cycle fueled by human emotions and passions." – Jonathan Jacques-Belletête, Creative Director
