A lot of fun and pretty loyal to the old films it draws inspiration from. You kinda gotta get used to it, but it's not bad at all- a great late night time killer. It'll spook you pretty good too, I was surprised

I've never been so undecided on whether to recommend or not recommend a game. On one hand, this scratched an oddly specific itch I didn’t know I had. The graphic style nails that PS1/N64-era horror aesthetic, with just enough modern resolution thrown in to give it a unique, slightly off-putting charm. There's something about the visuals that feels dated, comedic, and genuinely unnerving all at once. The variety of zombie designs was surprisingly solid — the half-amputees in particular were equal parts horrifying and hilarious, especially watching a little nugget zombie rush at me. Level design: The Woodside Apartment level. This was the peak of the experience for me. Great atmosphere, creepy audio, solid survival-horror pacing with locked doors and item hunts that didn’t overstay their welcome. It struck a perfect balance between exploration and tension. Unfortunately, things went a bit downhill after that. Later levels like Imprisoned felt confusing and messy, and I found myself accidentally looping through the same rooms over and over. That could be a me problem, but I was definitely ready for it to end by the time it did. Audio is a mixed bag. Sometimes it's great, other times it's just painful. Jump scares in particular rely heavily on absurdly loud noises that made me jump, sure — but also made me question if my ears deserved that kind of betrayal. There are some effective scares, but the volume felt like a cheap trick more than anything else. Voice acting is hit or miss, but considering the game leans heavily into the cheesy '80s horror vibe, I’ll give that a pass. Gunplay... oof. This is where the game stumbles hard. Not being able to move while aiming is fine — classic survival horror move — but the accuracy is just plain frustrating. Lined up perfect headshots would randomly whiff or hit invisible walls. The shotgun? Completely useless in the Coastal Village section. Hit detection is wildly inconsistent, and by the end I was relying more on luck than skill. When you do land a hit and the zombie drops like a deflated balloon, it feels great. Story-wise, it is what it is. It’s not deep, it’s not serious, and that’s completely fine. The game clearly embraces its trashy horror B-movie inspiration, and I genuinely laughed at several moments. If you’re expecting some mind-bending psychological horror, you’ll be disappointed — but if you love clichés, cheese, and weird surprises, this’ll hit the spot. Value & Extras Took me about 3 hours to beat the game and 100% the achievements, including the extra content. It’s a short ride. I’d say it’s slightly overpriced at full price, but I still had a fun enough time that I don’t regret it. £5 would feel more reasonable though. Final Verdict: 6/10 Night at the Gates of Hell scared me, made me laugh, pulled me into a world of nostalgic weirdness, and frustrated the hell out of me all at once. It’s a game that feels like a fever dream — and while it’s far from perfect, there’s definitely something special buried in the jank. If you're into B-movie horror, retro graphics, and don't mind some rough edges, it's worth a spin. Just be prepared to scream — not always in fear, but occasionally in frustration.

interesting little game. but what the hell was that story? i'm still confused.

Good game! It's a horror game with retro PS1-style visuals and intense survival mechanics. The decaying environments and relentless zombie hordes creates a good atmosphere, keeping you on edge throughout. It’s kind of campy, but in a fun, intentional way that adds to its charm.

Night at the Gates of Hell is a simple, short, survival horror game of questionable quality that I none the less had fun with. In all honesty, this game will not be for everyone, especially if you have high standards for horror, or... anything really. Evening at the Door of Doom is a one of a collection of games which exist primarily to satirise old B movie horror, with plots and characters which somehow manage to be predictable and bizarre at the same time. In Dawn at the Window of Hades, you'll be thrown into an undead apocalypse brought on by a mysterious (and ill defined) cult. Lead by an insane priest on a mission, the cult has endeavoured to open the gates of hell, returning the rotting corpses of the world to ravenous un-life. You and a gaggle to hideous low-polygon survivors attempt to extricate yourselves to an island in the hopes of evading the cult and roving zombie horrors. To do this you have 3 means of defense. A 6 shot revolver, a 4 chamber shotgun, and knives. The pistol and shotgun require decent aim, which requires you to hold still to look down sites. Firing from the hip tends to be a waste of (initially) precious ammo, though the shotgun does better in this category, as you might expect. Knives work as defense items, killing a single regular enemy at the cost of the knife. Still everything is limited, so using guns or evading enemies is preferred. Each regular enemy dies in 1 shot to the head, but nothing else will put them down. So, aiming is important. The game is over in a handful of hours, and you could probably speed run the whole thing in less than 1. The low polygon characters and environments are pretty hideous, and the whole game feels like the result of a game jam developer session or something similar. Still it's a game primarily made to ape the genre and it's tropes. Scares are pretty cheap for the most part, and I recommend turning the volume down, as a lot of the scares are a mix of 'spooky jump scares (tm)', haunted noises.mp3, and groaning/screaming. As for a recommendation for this game, I can't put a middle thumb, only up and down. I'll put this game in the thumbs up category simply because it is a complete and functional game with some real effort to make a spooky horror themed adventure that doesn't take too long to get through. Microwave Horror, if you will. This game is in the same style as 'Murder House' or perhaps 'Nightmare of Decay' which are both titles I enjoyed. Still I would say only consider purchasing '2am at the Doggy-Door of Heck' if you don't have other horror games to play.
