Developer Rock Square Thunder (The Lightbringer) has revealed I Hate This Place, an upcoming open-world survival horror published by Broken Mirror Games, the brand-new horror label from Bloober Team.
Birthed via a partnership with Skybound Entertainment, I Hate This Place will be based on the Eisner award-nominated comic book created by writer Kyle Starks and artist Artyom Topilin. It sees you take on the role of Elena, who "unwittingly awakens a malevolent force" and must work to survive in an increasingly deadly world.

The visuals look really neat; we've got an isometric view from which to partake in the action, and the game clearly draws inspiration from the comic's visual design, including the addition of visual onomatopoeia to depict sounds within the world. It's cool!
We love the key art too. It depicts a creature that's simply described as the 'Horned Man', and supposedly, you must avoid it "at all costs". Oooooh... Ominous. Anyway, this looks awesome, and we can't wait to see more.
Let's see what Piotr Babieno, CEO of Bloober Team, had to say:
“We are always looking to push the boundaries of horror in all its forms, and with this new title under Broken Mirror Games, I Hate This Place is a testament to that vision. With its blend of survival mechanics, gripping storytelling, and a distinct visual identity, we believe I Hate This Place will immerse players in a truly unforgettable nightmare.”

"Horrors beyond comprehension"
<shows a deer>
Absolutely not for me, but glad to hear that it's coming also to Switch for those interested in it!
I hope there's not too much running and hiding from this Horned Man, ugh.
Beyond that, it's promising looking. If a little too stylized to be scary.
Bloober did excellent work on the Silent Hill 2 remake, but given their track record otherwise I still have some trepidation about things from them. I'll keep an eye on it but will wait to really get hyped.
Looks cool. I'll check it out
Looks like a Carrion crossover event in the first image
Let's goooo I've liked a lot of Bloober Team's stuff here's hoping this is more "Observer" than "Layers of Fear"
So just another real life sim?
I like the look of this.
Although I prefer psychological horror games (like Silent Hill) to the shoot em up style horror games.
This seems to be a blend of both. Hopefully more focus is on the psychological side of things (fear, avoidance, not an over use of jump scares) instead of just button mashing and finding ammo.
This looks decent ... A Physical Nintendo Switch Release and I'll hand over the $$$ ..
@Chlocean @Lizuka Blooper had nothing to do with this game’s development all. They are just publishing it under their new label Black Mirror Games. It’s fully and solely developed by Rock Square Thunder.
@DashKappei good to know. I guess my brain turned into bloober when I read the tagline. 😵
Still looks stylish
The more horror based games on the switch the better. I really like the trailer. Looks stylish and unique
