Hell Is Us is a 3rd-person action-adventure game that combines intense melee combat with the thrill of exploration.

If war is the closest we get to hell on earth, it's because Earth harbors the worst of demons: humankind. In an isolated country ravaged by civil war, uncover the secrets of your past and confront the mysterious disaster that has struck the region. Embark on a true adventure that explores the dark side of human nature.

Explore a semi-open world to find answers to your questions and face mysterious creatures all along your journey.

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.


Hell is Us game unveils a new gameplay video on its dungeons system, with commentary by creative and art director Jonathan Jacques-Belletête.

The story of Hell is Us takes place in Hadea, a fictional country ravaged by a deadly civil war. This hermit nation hides a mysterious past and is home to ancient, forgotten dungeons that players must explore to advance their quest and unravel the secrets of the strange events taking place in the region.

Far from delivering side content, the dungeons are an integral part of the adventure, providing players with keys to understanding the deep history of Hadea and offering memorable gameplay sequences and challenges.

Each dungeon is unique in its atmosphere, challenges and meaning. They require players to use different types of skills: interacting and carefully observing their surroundings, using their sense of logic, and above all fighting the many enemies that stand in their way.  What's more, each of the different dungeons culminates in a final, intense confrontation, leading to revelations that shed light on the tortuous past of this remote corner of the world.

“The dungeons are based on the same philosophy that governs the game, which we call “player-plattering”, explains Jonathan Jacques-Belletête. "Through this concept, we want players to rediscover the pleasure of exploring on their own, without being hand-held. Within the deep and mysterious confines of each dungeon, the players must pay attention to their environment in order to orient themselves and figure out how to overcome the many obstacles they face.  Each dungeon has its own distinct flavour and memorable moments, culminating in a real sense of achievement once completed."

No map, no compass, no quest markers: following your instincts is part of the adventure. Enjoy a unique experience that uses innovative writing and level design to let you make your own decisions and follow your instincts as you explore. Your discoveries are yours alone.

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.

Hell Is Us is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on September 4, 2025.
