Ad Infernum

A great indie, horror, immersive sim. I played through the game twice in one day and still wanted to go back and unlock the rest of the challenges and achievements. Does not overstay it's welcome, wants you to replay it, and is a fantastic speedrunner game for those who are into it.

Ad Infernum is a ingenious blend of immersive simulation, survival horror, and first person stealth and combat. You play a college student on a road trip with a friend. After surviving a wreck, you awake to find yourself in a literal hellscape. The gas station is the only sign of civilization you can find; too bad for you it's haunted. The plot unfolds from there, and the game is so short it would be a crime to spoil any of it for you. This game may not have the flashiest graphics or tightest game play (Aiming was a challenging experience with the control, which the game does support), but it is easy to see that it was made with thought and care. Absolutely recommended for fans of the genre or anyone looking to support a great game from a small studio.

This is a really interesting immersive sim. I'm not really a horror game fan but the game also isn't very scary. The world is pretty small and the puzzles are more about exploration than anything else. You're encouraged to explore to find the solutions you need to progress. The game is very short. I finished it in just about 2 hours flat and enjoyed my time with it. If you're into immersive sims or games that are basically one big escape room, I definitely recommend it.

Ad Infernum is a short, yet dense, horror immersive sim with plenty of depth to pass the playtime.
You play as an unnamed schmuck who finds themselves trapped in a gas station beset with a demonic presence. You need to carefully venture out from your safe room to find more resources, solve clever puzzles, and avoid the disgusting creatures prowling the gas station (at least until you're well-equipped enough to deal with them), while carefully balancing your health and sanity (the latter of which causes hallucinations at lower levels, brining to mind Eternal Darkness). The map is small (to be expected when the game is set around an otherwise typical gas station), but dense with supplies and secrets. As the game progresses, the demonic influence becomes more and more severe, until you find yourself in a true hellscape.
After my 2 hour run, I was impressed by the game by the end. What it lacks in immediate presentation (somewhat simple graphics and limited voice acting), it more than makes up in game and level design. It was a blast to play, and the game does offer replay value as well with achievement hunting and a post-game currency to be used to strengthen your character for the next outing. A well paced adventure, one I would gladly recommend to any fan of the genre.

Fun as hell little horror imsim. I tore through it and got all the achievements in a couple days

minor complaints but still a surprisingly good game

This game is very fun so far, I'm excited to continue!
