What Awaits You:
Gameplay inspired by System Shock and Bioshock, as well as classic survival horror games, with an aesthetic inspired by late 90s PC gaming.
A gore system inspired by Raven Software's GHOUL system used in the Soldier of Fortune games, with eleven different "gore zones" and 30 unique animations that play depending on what part of the body an enemy is hit. Shoot or chop off enemy body parts and watch them react in horror.
Electrocute enemies. Freeze enemies with liquid nitrogen and shatter them into pieces. Light enemies on fire and watch them run around screaming. Poison enemies and watch them puke their literal guts out before dying. Blow enemies up and watch their body parts gib and bounce all over the place.
Melee combat with numerous tools, and ranged combat with all sorts of firearms, along with more "experimental" weaponry
Lockpicking, hacking, destructible doors, multiple paths around levels. Lockpick shortcuts, blow up or chop down doors to get somewhere you wouldn't think of to go. Hack security cameras and laser grids, or turrets to make them your allies. Go in killing everything in sight or stick to the shadows and sneak around your enemies with both lethal and non-lethal options. The gameplay of Hell Hospital is all about player expression in a world of madness and violence: what kind of character do YOU imagine Catherine to be?

A drug system where you can enhance your melee, ranged, agility, defense, non-lethal and stealth attributes. Mix and match the drugs you take to find your playstyle, but watch your drug intake, or you just might overdose and die.
Weapon degradation and firearm maintenance.
An atmospheric and spooky mental hospital carefully modeled after old Kirkbride mental hospitals from the 1800s.

And much, much more.
