Green Hell (video game)

Green Hell is a survival simulation video game developed and published by Creepy Jar. Set in the Amazon rainforest, the player takes on the role of anthropologist Jake Higgins, who must survive in the harsh environment after a mysterious incident separates him from his partner, Mia.

The gameplay of Green Hell focuses on realistic survival elements. Players must manage their hunger, thirst, energy, and sanity while contending with dangers such as wild animals, tropical diseases, and indigenous tribes. Crafting is essential for survival, allowing players to create tools, weapons, shelters, and medicines from resources gathered in the environment.

The game features a detailed health system, where players must diagnose and treat various ailments using herbs and other natural remedies. Injuries, infections, and parasites can have significant effects on Jake's physical and mental state. A notable mechanic is the body inspection system, which allows the player to examine Jake's body for wounds, parasites, and other issues that might not be immediately apparent.

Green Hell offers both a story mode and a survival mode. The story mode follows Jake's journey to reunite with Mia and uncover the mystery behind their separation. The survival mode allows players to test their skills in a sandbox environment without a specific narrative goal. Cooperative multiplayer is also available, allowing players to team up and survive together.

Released in early access in 2018 and fully released in 2019, Green Hell has received generally positive reviews for its immersive survival mechanics, challenging gameplay, and realistic depiction of the Amazon rainforest. The game has also been praised for its emphasis on crafting and resource management, as well as its educational aspects related to survival techniques and the use of natural remedies.
