Adam Smithson does his best to exist in his tiny apartment, alone, high above Century City. His only companion is a bonsai tree, which he dutifully cares for—perhaps only to pass the time. Time seems to have no beginning or end. But like everything else in the city, his plants require blood to survive. So Adam is forced to find a regular supply on the dark streets below. An elevator lowers Adam into the shadowy nightmare of the city, where the hunt begins. In a place where blood is currency, and the only way out is down, Adam must survive and thrive the best he can while confronting others with the same goal in mind.
A unique hardcore extraction experience, Hell is Others allows you to progress your character through customizable items you obtain for your apartment. Grow your own ammunition via blood-thirsty plants, explore the noir urban setting, confront The Others, and do your best to live to see another day… A day that never seems to come.
Do you want to experience Adam’s story without having to face other players in The Others’ shoes? Play the brand-new Singleplayer mode and explore Century City and its nightmares and uncover the secrets hidden in this spectral town, but the terrors are not over: The Things will be your main enemies. They are in every alleyway, shop entrance, and crosswalk… do you have what it takes to survive in Century City?
Adam has limited time to do his business once down in the city. So look out for an elevator and go back home before it’s too late, or you might just end up losing what’s in your pockets.
But watch out! You’re not the only one who wants to return to his safe home.
Customize Adam’s apartment with new objects and appliances to convert the tiny apartment into a comfortable fortress. Besides simple decoration, every item has added benefits or perks for Adam while he is down in Century City trying to survive.
Ensuring that Adam’s plants grow big and healthy requires a constant blood supply. But what if enhancing his crops yielded bigger, better results? By adding fertilizers, you can create a wide range of bullet-producing plants. Grow more powerful ammo, and add unique features like bouncing bullets or silent varieties. The possibilities are endless.
