Dec. 2025

I really enjoyed this game and can't wait to play the other games in this series. The story was pretty interesting, even when you are not into Lovecraft that much. The graphics also looked pretty nice and the best part were the sound effects and atmosphere. Cryengine might be dated but it runs flawlessly. Gameplay wise, there wasn't that much to do but it was enough to keep you invested. There were chase sequences where you had to hide or outrun a creature. You also had to read notes to piece the story together, find key items, backtrack a little bit, open doors and find your way around. The world was well crafted and I felt entertained for the 3-4 hours that this game took me to complete. Only thing I disliked was the lack of achievements for replay value. I would have loved some collectibles and a little bit more interaction and background information for the story. Other than that, it was a solid but short experience with an interesting story that makes you ask for more.

Just finished The Land of Pain and wow… this game nails atmosphere-driven horror. No cheap jump scares, just pure isolation and dread. The forest, caves, and ruins all look incredible, but it’s the sound design that gets you—every creak and whisper makes you paranoid. It’s slow-paced, but that’s what makes it work. You’re alone, no weapons, no help, just running and trying to survive whatever’s stalking you. If you like Lovecraft-style horror that sticks with you after you quit, this one’s a must.

IF HEAD BOB MAKES YOU SICK: Do not buy. Running has terrible swaying. I got a headache instantly and there is no way to turn it off. Unable to continue game.

I played like three hours, then pressed Start then exit and got back to the main menu, pressed down, down, down to the Exit, except it skipped over it and went to the top where it said New Game. Guess what happened Games actually great. Great choice with the CryEngine. This is a standard but good game where you are mostly outdoors. It is more atmospheric and beautiful than most Indie-Horror games I have played. So I guess it deserves a thumbs up!

Unbeatable atmosphere. The sound architecture, the immersive environments, the jump scares, and the overall sense of dread are top tier. Amazing that this game was made by one person.
