I Hate This Place: a survival horror journey in a cursed land
If you are looking for a stylish yet terrifying experience, I Hate This Place is the answer. This survival horror title launched on January 29, 2026 with an isometric top-down perspective, throwing players into a cursed land where nightmares twist reality and terrifying creatures lurk in the shadows.
Surviving at Rutherford Ranch
The game is set in Rutherford Ranch, a vast area filled with haunted forests, abandoned towns and dangerous shelters. To survive, players must use every skill available:
- Scavenge: Search every corner for essential resources.
- Craft: Create equipment and tools to face hostile threats.
- Build: Upgrade your campsite and restore outposts as safe havens.
A dynamic day and night cycle
Time plays a crucial role in I Hate This Place. Daytime is when you should explore and prepare supplies. But when night falls, true nightmares begin.
Enemies become more numerous, aggressive and dangerous after dark. With limited visibility from your flashlight, sometimes the smartest choice is not to fight, but to hide in a safe shelter and wait for dawn.
A mix of stealth and strategy
At Rutherford Ranch, brute force does not always guarantee victory. Many mutated creatures hunt by sound, so players must balance stealth and combat. You can use noise to distract enemies or lure them into deadly traps you have prepared.
A unique comic-inspired art style
Inspired by the comic series by Kyle Starks and Artyom Topilin, I Hate This Place features a striking retro art style. The game blends bold colors, 1980s vibes, and a mix of horror, dark humor and camp & gore elements, creating an unsettling yet captivating atmosphere.
Note: The game contains violence, gore and mature themes that may not be suitable for all audiences.
I Hate This Place is now available on PC, PS5 and Xbox, ready to test the courage of survival horror fans.
