About
I Hate This Place is an isometric open-world survival horror set in an eerie, unpredictable world that’s twisted beyond comprehension. Playing as Elena, you awaken forces that threaten to shatter everything you knew about reality.
A Surreal Nightmare
Inspired by the award-winning comic book series created by Kyle Starks and Artyom Topilin, I Hate This Place plunges you deep into a supernatural world where the rules of reality come undone.
The playful meets the petrifying in this strange corner of the universe—everything here wants you dead.
Whatever you do, avoid the Horned Man at all costs.
Survival Horror with Day and Night Cycles
Safety is a rare commodity in I Hate This Place. Wild animals, mutated spiders, crazy cultists and deranged outlaws—they’re all just dying to meet you.
Combat rewards ingenuity over brute force. Often outmatched, you’ll need to manipulate your surroundings to even the odds against formidable foes.
Preparation is the name of the game. Resources are scarce, enemies dangerous and unpredictable. You’ll need to craft tools that can help you survive the wilderness long enough to reach ranch house before nightfall.
Because when the night rolls around—hell breaks loose.
Vibrant ’80s-Inspired Comic Book Style
I Hate This Place features bold, vivid colors and unsettling environments, all wrapped up in a gloriously retro ’80s aesthetic with just a hint of camp to lighten the mood.
Each location is lovingly crafted to tell its own disturbing story through stylish visuals that blur the line between reality and nightmare.
Mysteries Worth Uncovering
They say dead men tell no tales. But in this accursed land, every specter has a story, waiting to be unearthed.
Solve individual hauntings and you’ll start to glimpse the horrifying reality lurking at the heart of I Hate This Place.
But tread carefully—some secrets are buried for good reason.
