Hell is Us News

[p]Hell is Us takes place in 1993 in the fictional country of Hadea, where a vicious civil war is still raging when the protagonist, Remi, arrives. [/p][p][/p][p]Although it's the 20th century, all combat in the game is carried out using medieval-style melee weapons. Why?  [/p][p]  [/p][p]These weapons are not forged from ordinary metal and they seem to be the only weapons that can hurt the mysterious entities that have suddenly invaded Hadea. Like the mystery of the Calamity, the weapons are clearly very ancient...  [/p][p]  [/p][p]Where do they come from?  [/p][p]  [/p][p]Who created them, and why?  [/p][p]  [/p][p]Why are the creatures vulnerable to them?  [/p][p]  [/p][p]These are mysteries you’ll be able to uncover during your adventures in Hadea! [/p][p][/p][p]While you wait to wield them, here's some concept art for the weapons in Hell is Us : [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]And a few screenshots of them in action :[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
