I Hate This Place

Combat and stealth

After sunset the locations begin to swarm with adversaries, who become stronger and more aggressive, posing a much greater threat to us than during the day. The matter is further complicated by the fact that the only source of light is a flashlight. This means that it is often better to wait out the night in one of the shelters than to venture into the darkness.

We can deal with enemies by engaging in open clashes (in which case we use white or firearms) or by acting silently. The game allows us to sneak behind the backs of creatures or set traps for them and use sound to lure them into snares.

Storyline

The protagonist of I Hate This Place is Elena, in whose skin we travel through the Rutherford ranch, a nightmare-like land where reality is distorted and terrifying creatures roam. The protagonist must confront the forces that threaten the stability of the world around her, along the way discovering the secrets of this cursed place and its true nature.
