Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, Intel UHD Graphics 620 / AMD Radeon 530 or equivalent, 2 GB of storage. Windows only.

Hell is Others is an extraction top-down shooter combining roguelike elements. Outside the safety of your apartment lies the noir hellscape that is Century City. A city of endless night that straddles the line between reality and insanity. Explore, hunt, and loot in a place where blood is currency.

What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

The value story

The lowest price on record is $3.74, set in June 2023. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 19 in the 4 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 69 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Teleglitch: Die More Edition ($12.99, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats West of Dead ($19.99, scores 29).

7 of the 563 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2022 to July 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 698 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 88 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 165 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

One of the MOST F**cked up games I've ever had the privvy of playing. It's wild. The story is wild. The game-play loop is awesome. It's an extraction shooter but different. Extraction points are NOT static. They vary. You have to get there, alive obviously, and find it and extract. All of that with the loot you need for the day and without dying (you will, a lot). I haven't gotten super far but, man, am I enjoying...

Очень хорошая игра. Понравился мир, то как работает экономика игры, боевка - сойдет. Если вчитываться в диалоги и пометки Адама в дневнике и обращать внимание на мебель в квартире(в игре он называется кондониум), то по-настоящему проникаешься миром. Играть только в синглплеер. Мультиплеер - мертв. Рекомендую

I really liked this game, and it's sad to see it abandoned after a while. The potential was there, but the bottle necking of how to play really killed the playerbase. Game has a single player mode, but that won't last terribly long since you still gotta rush around and try to complete objectives and side quests within a short timer. They could've at least added more options to better the gameplay's difficulty and to...
