About Living Hell
Living Hell is a co-op shooter developed by Joe Fender that drops you into a nightmarish world where solar radiation turns wildlife and humans into grotesque mutants. Released on December 31, 2026, it’s available on PC. The game tasks you with collecting specimens under a ticking clock before sunrise, forcing you to balance exploration and survival. Its indie roots shine through tight gunplay and eerie sound design. Best played with friends, it leans into chaos and urgency, with mutations escalating as daylight nears. A short but intense experience, it’s ideal for fans of horror and cooperative gameplay.
Gameplay
Each session starts with a 90-minute window to gather samples scattered across forests, cities, and swamps. You carry limited tools, tranquilizers, shotguns, and molotovs, to fend off creatures that grow more violent as the sun rises. Controls are responsive but punishing; one misstep means a horde of mutated wolves or deformed humans. The game forces constant movement, with teammates covering each other while juggling specimen collection. Multiplayer modes add competition, as rivals try to sabotage your mission. The twist? Mutations evolve mid-session, turning routine hunts into frantic survival.
What Players Think
Living Hell holds a 4.1/5 on PlayPile, with 78 Metacritic. Average playtime is 15 hours, but only 42% finish it. Community moods lean tense (68%) and thrilling (54%), though 39% call it stressful. Reviews highlight "Addictive but punishing" and "Tight gunplay but inconsistent AI." Completion rates drop in multiplayer, where 61% blame frustrating respawns. The game’s 50 achievements have a 68% completion average, with "Retrieve all specimens under 15 minutes" being the hardest.
PlayPile's Take
Living Hell is a high-stakes co-op shooter best for groups who thrive under pressure. At $39.99, it’s a mid-tier indie pick with replay value in its evolving threats. While the difficulty spikes and AI flaws may alienate solo players, teams will enjoy the frantic teamwork. If you crave horror that rewards quick reflexes over stealth, this is for you. Just brace for a short but grueling ride.
