“The Land of Pain combines interactive adventure and horror in a short but intense experience, also thanks to the engaging graphics and sound.”
4/5 – Tom's Hardware

“Mr. Guzzo knows exactly what he's doing. Bless you and thank you, sir. You have an accomplished understanding of the nature of horror. I've waited years for the kind of game you have created. You've restored my faith in the genre.”
Just Adventure

“Alessandro Guzzo’s short adventure game is a bargain buy at the current asking price and an unforgettable experience.”

About This Game

The Land of Pain is a first-person Cosmic Horror adventure and the spiritual prequel to The Alien Cube.

Something strange appears in the woods. Rain pours, and darkness hangs in the air.
Life as you know it is about to change forever.

In this Lovecraftian horror adventure, you'll have to survive in a huge and terrifying world dominated by an ancient and disturbing evil. Explore eerie locations, flee from an unrelenting enemy lurking in the shadows, solve puzzles, and uncover the mystery that's befallen this land.

  • YOU ARE UNARMED -- You have no weapons. Run, hide, and use the environment to stay alive.
  • HUGE MAP -- Explore abandoned buildings, caves, swamps, graveyards, and many other atmospheric locations.
  • IMMERSIVE VISUALS -- CryEngine-powered graphics, photogrammetry, and ambient sound design create a deeply oppressive and realistic world.
  • SOLVE & INTERACT -- Use objects, gather clues, and solve puzzles to uncover the truth behind the ancient mystery.
  • SHROUDED IN DARKNESS -- Your lantern lights the way, but beware: stepping out of the darkness may leave you more exposed...
