Hatred
Hatred is an isometric shooter with disturbing atmosphere of mass killing, where player takes the role of a cold blood antagonist, who is full of hatred for humanity. It's a horror, but here YOU are the villain. Wander the outskirts of New York State, seek for victims on seven free-roam levels. Fight against law enforcement and take a journey into the antagonist's hateful mind. Gather equipment of the dead ‘human shields’ to spread Armageddon upon society. Destroy everything on your way of hunt and fight back when it's disturbed...
What it feels like
The player IS the threat—active, present harm to civilians is the constant intent. Mass killing, gore, and visceral violence are designed to horrify and disturb. Unflinching, brutal darkness refuses to soften or justify the mass killing premise.
What it's about
Journey into an antagonist's hateful, disturbed mind drives the thematic and atmospheric core. Primary design intent is to disturb—playing as an instrument of mass violence and terror. The Antagonist's hateful vendetta against humanity structures the journey and motivation.
How it plays
Core gameplay is explicitly twin-stick shooting with independent aim and movement. Aiming and firing firearms with tactical feedback is the primary interaction loop. Equipment and weapons drop from killed humans to be collected and used.
How it looks and sounds
Game is explicitly isometric-perspective shooter as core presentation. Isometric top-down viewing angle defines spatial navigation and combat sight lines.
How it's structured
Seven free-roam levels are discrete, explorable environments entered separately. Explicitly single-player only, no multiplayer component.
