About the Game

Crimson Hell is a survival-horror game where you play as Sae Yabe, a journalism student from Alethea University determined to seek out the truth about the various missing persons cases in Japan.

Several years earlier, Sae’s older sister, Mayumi, went missing under strange circumstances and was last seen investigating a lead in an abandoned school. Together, with several notes from her lost sister and her friend, Hitomi, Sae joins in on a class field trip toward the very spot where Mayumi was last seen. There, she must uncover the truth of not only her sister’s disappearance but also the mystery behind the disappearances in Japan.

Unknown to Sae and her class, that place hides a baleful force that burrows under the minds of those who cross it. A force that will launch Sae into a nightmare of her making, one full of horrifying creatures; one where, if Sae isn’t careful, she will vanish just like her sister…

Uncover the truth of the missing persons cases by exploring three levels, collecting and crafting limited resources, fighting monsters, completing side quests and solving puzzles! Make sure to stay alive and stay sane!
