New Soulslike 'Hell is Us' Challenges Players with UI-Free Exploration and Surreal Combat

Madrid, Spain – A new contender in the soulslike genre, “Hell is Us,” has made its debut, bravely launching on the same day as the highly anticipated “Silksong.” The game, developed by a yet-to-be-named studio, is garnering attention for its unique approach to gameplay, emphasizing exploration and environmental storytelling over traditional user interfaces. Players are thrust into a world devoid of maps, quest markers, or explicit guidance, relying instead on subtle cues within the game's environment. As one reviewer noted, “The exploration is completely free and based on the clues the environment gives you.” This innovative design challenges players to pay close attention to their surroundings, such as following the sound of wind chimes to locate a path or deciphering marked trees to find a hidden camp. “I wanted to find some soldiers to ask them for their armored vehicle,” explained a player in the video, “and this farmer told me they were at the end of a path he had previously marked with wind chimes so his children wouldn't get lost in the forest.” Beyond its exploration mechanics, “Hell is Us” introduces a combat system involving a sword and a drone, allowing players to engage a variety of “very strange enemies.” The game also promises surreal worlds, dungeons, and puzzles, offering a multifaceted experience for fans of the genre. Currently, “Hell is Us” is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC, offering a fresh take on the soulslike formula for those seeking a truly immersive and challenging adventure.
