About the Game




"Evil is Back" is a retelling of the movies "Evil Dead 1 and 2"... With everything a low budget short film should have. For fans of 80's trash horror movies.

SYNOPSIS

Scott and his friends are going to spend the weekend in a cabin in the woods and isolated from the city.
Upon finding a very old book and accidentally reciting some words... The portal to the world of the dead opens, bringing death and destruction to all who are there.

GAMEPLAY

Shooter with combat and survival elements. Using a sawed-off shotgun and a chainsaw to eliminate grotesque creatures. A few more average puzzles to solve.

HAND OR CHAINSAW?

Without a doubt the best part of every "Evil Dead" movie is when "Ash Williams" loses his hand and uses a chainsaw instead. We decided to be as faithful as possible to the original work.

ABOUT GAME

  • CAMERA: First-person.
  • CONTROL: Mouse and Keyboard only.
  • GRAPHICS: Triple-b game, graphics inspired by 80's horror movies.
  • DURATION: It depends a lot on the type of player, but it's not very long (30 to 60 minutes).

...A lot...a lot...a lot of blood! strange enemies and an even stranger boss!


...Typical scenes from 80's trash movies...


...The book of death... capable of opening the portal to the world of the dead...
