I cannot die. I am very tired.
Hum is a game for fans of horror and adventure games with elements of stealth, taking a non-obvious inspiration from such classics as Flashback, Sanitarium, or Lone Survivor. It's ideal for the admirers of weirdness that mutates the body and twists the mind!
This is a dark tale of a dystopian, retro land called Postapoland, from which there is no escape. Your task is to leave this cursed world full of contradictions and twisted mutants. The whole nightmare of the situation lies in the fact that the protagonist is unable to die once and for all. This is a game for an adult audience, inquisitive and fond of dark entertainment, who appreciates polished graphics and sound. Classic pixel-art is combined with hand-drawn masses of twisted meat, metal and plastic.
Explore mysterious locations, talk to grotesque characters and hide from tracking machines and biomutants. Admire a brutalist-organic world where horror meets splendor! Find the source of the world's primordial hum, try to discover the most horrible truth about this reality and die once and for all - or look for a way to escape this land.
Make use of the death mechanics - in order to push the plot forward, the protagonist must die and be reborn, discovering that he has found himself in an unbreakable time loop.
You will learn the lore of the "Hum" world by solving puzzles and hearing the monologues and dialogues of half-crazed characters. You will be surprised by sudden changes of perspective and non-obvious gameplay.
The music you hear in the game is a dark soundtrack composed of mutant synthpop, early industrial music and distorted techno. It was created by Mchy i Porosty, a music project that can be heard on the soundtrack in Cyberpunk 2077.
