It seems a far cry from Hotline Miami, the iconic indie game fueled by top-down gunplay, raw gore, and an EDM and synth soundtrack. And none of them, strictly speaking, are horror games. So how does Hell Is Others, which just released on Steam, combine all of these elements?
In a dystopian, almost Lovecraftian futuristic city, you play Adam Smithson, a diligent survivor who lives alone in his small high-rise apartment. His only companion is a small bonsai tree that, like everything else in the world of Hell Is Others, needs a constant supply of fresh blood in order to survive.
So Smithson must go deep below the city streets, kill monsters, kill Others (rival players in PvP mode), and collect the red stuff to feed his prized plant. As your bonsai receives more blood, he will generate and fire unique and powerful bullets for each of your 50 possible weapons. You can also upgrade and customize your apartment. Feeling confused?
