Get Your Hands on a Playable Demo of I Hate This Place at PAX East 2025 Or Else!

Kraków, Poland, 7th May 2025 | Broken Mirror Games, in partnership with Skybound Entertainment, has announced that I Hate This Place – the upcoming isometric, open-world survival horror game will make its first public appearance at PAX East 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. 

A hands-on playable demo will be available to the public at Booth #15078 as part of the Games From Poland collective.

Inspired by Skybound’s Eisner award-nominated comic book series created by writer Kyle Starks and artist Artyom Topilin, I Hate This Place plunges players deep into a supernatural world where the rules of reality come undone. In an all-new isometric survival horror experience, delivered in a striking visual style drenched in bold, vivid colours and retro ‘80s comic book aesthetics, each location is lovingly crafted to tell its own disturbing story through stylish visuals that blur the line between reality and nightmare in a world where everything wants you dead.

Players take on the role of Elena, whose fight for survival begins when she unwittingly awakens a malevolent force. Outmatched and hunted in a hostile world, players must think fast, manipulating their surroundings to even the odds against formidable foes, engaging in tense gunfights and melee combat that rewards ingenuity over brute force, all while crafting essential tools to survive the harsh and unforgiving wilderness long enough to reach safehouses before nightfall, with the day & night cycle having an impact on gameplay dynamics. Whatever you do though, avoid the Horned Man at all costs.

I Hate This Place will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The Game is set to launch in Q4 of 2025 and is available to Wishlist now.

Drive: Customize your battle wagon to the nines so your worthless enemies know fear as they spot you on the horizon and remember exactly who blasted them into oblivion. Flags, paint-jobs and more: it's all up to you.

Destroy: It’s pedal-to-the-metal as you race to snatch the best weapons from caches all over the island. Second place is the first loser, so show no mercy and fight your way to the top of the junk heap to be the last car standing!
