First Impressions
I gave the demo for Hell is Us a try — it’s free on PC and console — and honestly, it caught me off guard. I didn’t know much about the game going in, but it hooked me pretty quick. The world feels kind of empty, but in a good way — like it’s meant to make you feel uneasy without throwing jump scares at you.

The look of the game is dark and moody, but not in a typical horror way. There’s this sense of mystery — like something bad happened, but you’re not sure what. The design reminded me a bit of those walking simulators with surreal vibes, though this definitely has more action. It’s not flashy, but it’s detailed in a way that makes the world feel lived-in.
What’s in the Demo
The free demo isn’t massive, but it gives you a solid chunk of gameplay. You can try out the sword-based combat and get a sense of the tone and story. For me, it felt more like a teaser — just enough to get curious about the full game. If you’re on the fence, this demo is a great way to test it out.
Availability
Hell is Us is getting a free demo for PC and console ahead of the game’s release, which is a nice move for anyone unsure about pre-ordering. It’s set to drop on all platforms where the game will eventually launch.
