I Hate This Place
The comic series I Hate This Place is coming to life in video game form with a new video game named… I Hate This Place
Well, it looks like another comic book is coming alive out there with the reveal for I Hate This Place coming to the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC. A title that is coming to life from the book of the same name and from Rock Square Thunder and Broken Mirror Games in the mix of all of this. It is coming from a label known for some of the best horror we have had in the more indie space of things, so that is fully worth noting. Also, if you did not catch that, I Hate This Place is going to be yet another survival horror we get to experience in the mix. Not only from the pages of the comic but also in a style that makes it feel as if the gameplay is being pulled right from those pages too. A solid choice and now we can dig into the reveal.
I Hate This Place looks to be taking up some of the isometric horror space out there, where we will be playing as a character named Elena. A character who will be fighting for life as a new malevolent force comes about and introduces us all to a new and hostile world. From there, we are going to need to take up arms, craft extra gear, and use the world to our advantage as we take down the various forces that are going to be preying upon us in the game. Those basic chestnuts that we are used to in these games. Just this time, it will have the story and setting from I Hate This Place to place us into some familiar territory. So, if you have read those graphic novels, you might have a slight leg up on everything and the horned man that is referenced out there. If anything, you can see some of those references in motion if you go down the page just a bit more to look at the full reveal of the game that we do have.
I Hate This Place — Reveal
Broken Mirror Games, in partnership with Skybound Entertainment, are thrilled to reveal I Hate This Place — an upcoming open-world survival horror game set for release in Q4 2025. As part of a new horror label under Bloober Team (known for The Medium, Layers Of Fear, _Observer, and Silent Hill 2), I Hate This Place will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
Inspired by Skybound’s Eisner award-nominated comic book series created by writer Kyle Starks and artist Artyom Topilin, I Hate This Place plunges players deep into a supernatural world where the rules of reality come undone.
In an all-new isometric survival horror experience, delivered in a striking visual style drenched in bold, vivid colors and retro ‘80s comic book aesthetics, each location is lovingly crafted to tell its own disturbing story through stylish visuals that blur the line between reality and nightmare in a world where everything wants you dead.
Players take on the role of Elena, whose fight for survival begins when she unwittingly awakens a malevolent force. Outmatched and hunted in a hostile world, players must think fast, manipulating their surroundings to even the odds against formidable foes.
Engage in tense gunfights and melee combat that rewards ingenuity over brute force, all while crafting essential tools to survive the harsh and unforgiving wilderness long enough to reach safehouses before nightfall, with the day & night cycle having an impact on gameplay dynamics. Whatever you do though, avoid the Horned Man at all costs.
I Hate This Place is set to launch in Q4 of 2025.
