- Выжить в бункере с чертями: Обзор I Hate This Place - 28 January 2026
После нескольких лет тотальной доминанции игры про выживание отошли на дальний план, уступив место психологическим хоррорам и симуляторам ходьбы. Но польская студия Rock Square Thunder решила не вливаться в общий поток инди-мусора, выпустив I Hate This Place
- I Hate This Place (PC) Review - 28 January 2026
I was actually somewhat excited to try I Hate This Place . I was largely unaware of it, and when I wrote about it back in July, it caught my attention with its unique style and gruesome visuals. And seeing how survival horror is one of my favourite genres in gaming, I’m always looking forward to a unique take on the style. However, as is often the case with horror games, interesting ideas and good intentions don’t always make a good game. I Hate This Place certainly has some interesting ideas, but it holds itself back through the all-important execution, creating a game that challenges less your ability to stay alive, and more your ability to stay invested. If there’s one recurring element that defines my issue with I Hate This Place , it’s a lack of polish. So many moments that could have otherwise been interesting or tense are diminished by amateurish errors that just reduce the overa…

- DEVELOPER JOURNAL #7 - Monsters Pt. 3 🦌 - 27 January 2026
Welcome!I Hate This Place comes out in 2 days! So let's go to the last part of the Monsters research... We tackled Arachnoids, we tackled Mutants, but there are many more dangerous types of enemies in the f**ked up world of I Hate This Place. Some of those enemies may actually seem tame and adorable, but once you start looking closer you notice all the unsettling details and ungodly mutations. So don’t come too close, even though it’s very, VERY tempting… Similar to spiders there are 3 levels of “Mutated Deer” enemies. Creepy Fawn is the equivalent of the spiderlings. It is a basic enemy, it looks like a mutated fawn, with some creepy appendages and no proper head. It has tentacles sprawling from the body. It doesn’t really attack but it follows you and stares menacingly. If you overstay your welcome, soon there can be many, MANY more of them. Once killed, it lets out one final gurgling…

- DEVELOPER JOURNAL #6 - Monsters Pt. 2 🧟 - 16 January 2026
Welcome!Last time, we shared some very useful information about how to deal with the spiders of the I Hate This Place world. Now, we need to tackle something different - The Mutants. Mutants are mostly indoor creatures who hide in the underground facilities and tunnels. It’s unclear what caused the mutations and how long have they been in this form, but one thing is certain… They are hunting YOU! Centaurs are mostly blind and use noise to detect people walking by. It may seem easy to avoid them, but they are much smarter than you think. They have their own routines, they change their behaviour depending on your moves and they are fiercely defending their territory. Even if you start fleeing, it may even destroy parts of the environment just to try and catch you. Don’t get too close to them as they will for sure notice your presence and try to embrace you very strongly - and it’s not goi…
- DEVELOPER JOURNAL #5 - Monsters Pt. 1 🕷️ - 9 January 2026
Welcome!Monsters are one of the fundamental parts of this f**ked up world of I Hate This Place - like it or not. They are hunting Elena, trying to kill her and fiercely defend their territory from any outside interference. Knowledge about those monstrosities is vital for your survival in this world. For now, let’s tackle some of the encounterable arachnids, so if you have arachnophobia, don’t read on… Spiderling is the most basic enemy of the “Spider” variety. They can be found in eggs spread around some maps.When you get near the egg or shoot it the egg explodes and spiderlings come out. They are weak and easy to defeat, but can overwhelm the player with sheer numbers. So don’t underestimate them!There are also Jumping Spiders - a bigger type of the Spider variety. Hiding in the environment pretending to be a rock, they are patiently waiting for an unsuspecting prey to walk through the…

- DEVELOPER JOURNAL #4 - Crafting 🛠️ - 20 November 2025
Welcome!One of the gameplay mechanics of I Hate This Place that we haven’t delved into too much for these Dev Journals is the crafting system. It’s time to change that - today, we will be taking you through the design of the crafting system, why should you even care about crafting in the first place and how crafting can transform your base - the Ranch! To start with you need materials and a place to do your crafting. For the materials part, you will have to explore the world and find resources to use - later on, you will be able to create more of a passive resource gathering source, but that will have to do for now. Once you gather all the necessary ingredients, you need to craft your very own Workbench. This is where the ‘’magic’’ happens. Initially, you won’t be able to create much, but once you progress in the game further, you will discover more and more Blueprints & Recipes to use…
- 💀 The Madness Takes Hold of Rutherford Ranch 💀 - 31 October 2025
Hi!The new story trailer gives a quick taste of the twisted tale taking place on Rutherford Ranch.Check it out below! As for the date change, while the game was originally planned for November 7th, 2025, we recently decided they wanted a little more time to better incorporate some changes and features gathered from community feedback. “We had a lot of good feedback gathered from events like PAX, Gamescom, Tokyo Gameshow, and then from our recent public demo on Steam. The vision for the game stays the same, but this feedback highlighted a few tweaks or features that would really help the game feel just that much better. As we got closer and closer to release, we had to keep moving many of these additions to post-launch support. But we feel the game deserves to make a good first impression so we rethought things and together with Broken Mirror Games decided to move the date to January 202…

- DEVELOPER JOURNAL #3 - Sound Design - 12 September 2025
Welcome!Last time in the Dev Journals, we discussed how I Hate This Place’s story originated from a comic book series of the same name created by Kyle Starks and Artyom Topilin. However, the game is much more than just the plot!Today, we want to take you a little deeper into sound design - how we’re using it as more than just atmosphere. In I Hate This Place, silence isn’t simply golden — it can mean the difference between life and death. The world of I Hate This Place is filled with a lot of nightmarish, otherworldly creatures from a rather eerie and distorted world.But what might not be so clear is that many of these hulking monstrosities can barely see. Instead, they stalk their prey (you) by sound, so all your actions and movements need to be thought out. Every footstep, every gunshot, every clang of metal can give off your location. So whether you’re creeping through overgrown wood…
