By A9VG评测组 January 30, 2018

“作为一款个人工作室开发的独立游戏，应该说《痛苦之地》能达到如此效果，它的表现还是超出预期的。虽然在关卡和谜题的深度设计上有许多不足之处，强线性的叙事方式也有些僵硬，但在气氛的营造、节奏的把握上都可圈可点。整个故事除了结局稍嫌突兀、恐惧感后劲不足外，基本算是一个标准的洛夫克拉夫特式故事了。推荐适当配合攻略进行游戏，以减轻找路带来的挫折感，获得更流畅的体验。A9VG评分：7/10”

Reviews

“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, 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 learn how to survive as you fend off a dark and disturbing evil. Explore a huge and terrifying world, flee from a unrelenting enemy, solve puzzles, and unravel the ancient mystery that's befallen this land.


  • YOU ARE UNARMED -- Your only chance of survival is to run as fast as you can, and exploit the environment to hide yourself.
  • HUGE MAP -- Explore buildings, caves, swamps, graveyards and more.
  • BEAUTIFUL VISUALS -- CryEngine-powered graphics with photogrammetric technology and ambient sound creating a fully immersive game world.
  • SOLVE & INTERACT -- Use objects to solve puzzles, and seek out clues to help unravel the mystery.
  • SHROUDED IN DARKNESS -- Use a lantern to light the way, but be careful: you'll be more vulnerable when away from the darkness...
