New game adaptation of "I Hate This Place" announced

A new video game based on the horror comic "I Hate This Place" was announced at the Future Games Show. The comic, created by Kyle Starks and Artyom Toplin in 2022, gained popularity for its unique blend of horror themes. The game will be developed by Bloober Team, known for titles like "Blair Witch" and "The Medium." "I Hate This Place" tells the story of Gabby and Trudy, a couple who inherit a cattle ranch. They soon discover that the ranch is haunted by various horrors, including alien abductions and a mysterious killer. The game adaptation will focus on a new storyline set in the comic's world and is expected to explore deeper themes. Players will take on the role of Elena, who accidentally awakens a dark force while trying to survive. The gameplay will feature intense combat and crafting, encouraging players to use strategy rather than relying solely on strength. The game will also have a day and night cycle that influences gameplay. The game is scheduled to be released in the fourth quarter of 2025 and will be available on multiple platforms, including PC and consoles. Fans can wish list the game on Steam and the Epic Games Store while the original comic can be found online or in stores.
