I Hate This Place - an isometric Survival Horror with a Focus on Stealth

I Hate This Place is a brutal isometric survival horror where reality twists, and endless nightmares. Story set in a cursed land with bunch of 'Silent Hill kind' of monsters, you’ll have to scavenge, craft, sneak around or fight to survive (so far in the demo, you can sneak through most parts).

It’s a pretty cool concept to see an isometric (top-down-like) horror game, since there aren’t many games using this perspective compared to first-person and over-the-shoulder horror. There’s another similar title called Whisper Mountain Outbreak, set to release this month, the biggest difference is that you fight through monsters in a group where teamwork and positioning are key, whereas I Hate This Place focuses more on stealth and “hide and seek” gameplay.

The demo showcases various types of monsters, including aggressive, stationary, and patrolling enemies. Most of them are blind, so you need to move slowly and stay quiet if you want to avoid combat. There are also many basic items to try out here such as firearms, grenades, and decoy tools. The demo covers about 30 minutes of gameplay, during which you try to escape from the first building.
