For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.

About

I Hate This Place is an isometric craft-based survival horror game set in a cursed land filled with reality-bending nightmares and terrifying creatures that thrive in the dark. You’ll need to scavenge, build, sneak, and fight if you want to make it out alive.

Scavenge every corner of Rutherford Ranch to stay alive. From haunted forests, a derelict town, to infested bunkers. Explore a world teeming with danger as you gather vital resources, craft essential gear, upgrade your campsite, and rebuild outposts to have somewhere to hide.

A dynamic day-night cycle that changes the world. Use daylight wisely to explore, scavenge supplies, craft what you need, and prepare for what’s coming. When night falls, the real nightmares come out to play. More enemies appear, stronger and more aggressive than before. The landscape becomes harder to navigate with just your flashlight. Sometimes your best hope is to find shelter and hunker down till morning.

Stealth and combat go hand-in-hand here as many of the twisted creatures in Rutherford Ranch hunt and stalk you by sound alone. Brute force will often just land you in an early grave. Use sound to your advantage, luring creatures away from your path or cleverly leading them straight into deadly traps you laid.

Inspired by the award-nominated comic book series created by Kyle Starks and Artyom Topilin, I Hate This Place comes to life with bold colors, a punchy retro comic book style, and a heavy dose of '80s flair. A unique blend of horror, dark humor, and just the right touch of camp and gore where unsettling dread meets stylized charm.

I can't really recommend this game...the two things that got my attention was it's style and the SURVIVAL HORROR tag... The style is nice. But in almost 2h nothing made me think that the game was scary....and believe me i get scared easily. Also, I could care less about the story for 2 reasons. The lack of movement when people talk...they have all the same idle movement for E-V-E-R-Y npc. And the voice acting is meh. There is no real emotion when they talk. The first npc that you see is a weird guy from a cult and he always begin his dialogue with a high pitch and end it with a low pitch (like snake in mgs) It's pretty weird but not in a good way. Just annoying. For 40$ CAD naaaah sorry men not worth it.
As a Polish player I always feel the need to check out all the new cool games from polish developers. I enjoy the mood and the art. Combat is good as well. The writing is mid, but it plays well on Steam Deck. If you like indie survival horrors, you should like this one as well.

В общем мимо. Камеру нельзя вертеть, она постоянно выбирает неудачные ракурсы, карты нормальной нету, мобы спавняться каждый раз когда ты выходишь из комнаты и заходишь обратно, нет смысла их убивать. На стимдеке работает плохо на минималках с просадками и фср. Визуал классный, но сама игра не очень. Менюинг неудобный на геймпаде.

A place that our protagonist Elena knows very well, as she used to play there with her friend Lou in her youth. But it's also a strange place, to say the least. Near the ranch, an odd cult with followers who seem to have fallen on hard times worship a god known as the Horned Man. Also, there are rumours that illegal experiments are being performed on people in military bunkers, most likely on the cult followers. And to put icing on the cake, the entire area is infected with terrifying monsters and ghosts. For Elena, what matters is to find out what happened to her mother, who disappeared many years ago. What would you say if you were in her shoes? Probably . . . I Hate This Place! I Hate This Place is an isometric survival horror game with stealth elements and a touch of investigation, developed by Rock Square Thunder and published by Feardemic on the 30 of January 2026, on the Steam platform. I take this opportunity to thank both the developer and the publisher for providing me with a free key through my curator's Steam groups. The game starts with Elena and Lou in the woods. After insisting on showing Elena a place nearby, both arrive in an area where a large symbol is displayed on the grass. Lou initiates a ritual that doesn’t go to plan, vanishing into thin air in the process and leaving Elena alone from that point onwards. The fun starts as Elena enters the first bunker. As Elena does not have many weapons at this point (a gun with limited ammunition and a baseball bat), and the bunker houses a fair few monsters, stealth will probably be your best bet. Most of the monsters will react to sounds, so they'll hear her if she runs or walks on broken glass. Thankfully, she can squat and move slowly. If she makes a little sound, and it will over quickly. Make sure to check her inventory; if she carries cans, she can use them to lure the monster away by throwing them in the opposite direction. After clearing the bunker, you'll be able to access a map of the area and start multiple quests. This brings me to the exploration aspect of the game. The area is of average size. As you meet NPC's, new quests will arise, and Elena will discover new places which will appear on the map as she reaches them. If you decide to follow a specific quest, red question marks will appear on the map to give you hints as to where you might find a person or where to go next. There are plenty of things to find in the world, such as safe houses where you can save your progress and blueprints. You need the blueprints to build stations where you can craft all sorts of items to help Elena survive this ordeal. Make sure to check the bins and destroy the wooden crates, as they contain goodies to collect. However, she needs to be careful about how many goods she carries at any given time, as it will slow her down in the early stages of the game. It becomes irrelevant later on when she can craft the military bag. It's a bit of a shame because I like the fact that she was impeded by carrying too much. I like the day and night sequences all the way through the game, which increase the spooky atmosphere. Most of the crafting stations will take place at the Rutherford Ranch. Make sure to pick up all the blueprints as Elena visits places; you’ll need them to create stations, then craft food, weapons and other goodies. It will take one day in gaming terms to erect a station. You can also craft certain items in the safe houses as long as you have the right number of required elements to do so. I find the combat system mostly adequate, especially with the firearms (gun, rifle, submachine gun, shotgun) and throwing items such as grenades, Molotov cocktails, and dynamites. But I don't like the feel of the melee weapon (baseball bat), as I had a bit of a hard time adjusting the direction; maybe because I used the mouse and keyboard only. I enjoyed the monsters I encountered during my gameplay, but I must admit that they were not difficult to kill, especially in the later stages of the game. There were only a couple of serious encounters with so-called bosses, and only one was a decent foe! I found the story engaging from start to finish. I also enjoyed the few puzzles and riddles thrown at me. The investigation was a surprise, and it came when Elena needed to find out what happened to some of the characters. She revisited the location where the character was killed. Then, the room or area turned red, and, armed with a lamp to destroy the incoming ghosts, Elena needed to collect several pieces of evidence and deduce what happened. The visuals and the eerie feel of the game are very good. I also liked the voice acting, and I must admit I enjoyed my time playing that game, which I finished in 12 hours. Does this game offer good replayability? I am glad to have had the opportunity to play it, but I won't play it again. Twelve hours of gameplay doesn’t warrant the 44 Australian dollars. Positives: ~~~~~~~ + Great visuals + Good voice acting and story + Good selection of weapons + Simple and easy-to-use crafting system + The game runs very well + Achievements Negatives: ~~~~~~~~ - Needs a bigger variety of monsters - Fights with both bosses were too easy - The asking price is a bit high - Quite a short game - No trading cards as yet I Hate This Place has great visuals and runs beautifully. It’s a bit short for the asking price and it needs to be more challenging. 6/10 Key provided by the developer/publisher through my Steam Curator groups for review purposes. Any opinions expressed are entirely my own!
Dunno where all the negative reviews are coming from. The only actual issue I had with this game was the overwhelming amount of items being thrown at you combined with the lack of inventory space, or better said: weight system constantly bogging you down, but even that could be dealt with by going to the camp and leaving materials there. It's a fantastic, short, close to 8 hour survival horror game with a neat, cute story and cool comic book graphics at a fair price. Runs well, plays well, is fun. What more can a man want?
I just got a new PC and all my game data is gone, and there is no way to get it back, even with steamcloud enabled, it just won't save my data on cloud, but a great game
這遊戲讓我想起怪奇物語
游戏内容太短.我这四处转转.也就5个钟头..中评
I do like this game and its vibes. I enjoy the sound design and the overall art direction of it making look like a comic book. The voice acting does leave a little bit to be desired, the combat can be a bit clunky and the enemies could be more varied. I recommend it, but it is alright at best for me. The stuff I mentioned before hold it back from being a truly great game. https://youtu.be/-QNGOXMpBG8?si=NFOGBM-aTOGrPEOp
