About the Game

Pac-Man in hell

Infernium is a game filled with brutal challenges to overcome. While playing the game you won’t be able to kill or damage most of the enemies but at the same time running away without a second though is not the solution. While being chased you will need to think and reconsider your strategy and open hidden shortcuts while the world and it’s lore will unfold around you in a non-linear way making each playthrough diferent. From the creator of the multi awarded indie game of the year MIND: Path to Thalamus and the dev grant winner Koral.

Every little change you make in Infernium will remain like that forever. As a player you will have to be smart about harvesting (or not) Light, interacting with doors, barriers and elevators and even your death. Dying does not reset the world, it’s part of the experience. That’s why there will be consequences if you act careless with your deaths.

Infernium is one of the easiest games to mod using the free Unreal Engine 4. If the world of Infernium is not enough for you explore the Workshop to download expansions, modifications of Infernium or even brand new games, done with Infernium's content or custom content! PCMR Only feature.

Can hell be beautiful?

Infernium needed memorable appealing environments (instead of the usual images of a hell full of fire, suffering, screams and lots of reddish, gore landscapes) because in Infernium the most beautiful environments are also the most dangerous ones. This tends to generate disconfort, anxiety and inquietude in the player. It is no coincidence most of the brutal dangers in Infernium can be found at daylight in plain sight rather than in the darker claustrophobic environments.
