Overview

Hills Cry is a psychological horror roguelite exploration game set in a jungle, featuring retro graphics. Players step into the role of a soldier isolated from their unit, battling encroaching madness while striving for survival. The sole path to salvation lies in collecting three 'communicator parts' to call for rescue.

Highlights

  • Retro Psychological Horror: Experience a unique blend of survival horror and roguelite mechanics with a distinct retro visual style.
  • Dynamic Jungle Exploration: Navigate a procedurally generated jungle map composed of safe, sanity-draining, and event tiles, with layouts changing each playthrough.
  • Sanity Management: Balance time and sanity. Pushing forward consumes days, while stepping on certain tiles depletes your Sanity (SAN) meter. Reaching zero SAN or running out of days results in a grim end.

Who It's For

This game is for players who enjoy challenging roguelite experiences, survival horror themes, and games with a strong emphasis on atmosphere and resource management. Fans of retro aesthetics and psychological narratives will find Hills Cry particularly engaging.
