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...
