What is Agony?

You play a soul with no memory of its past, seeking escape from Hell in a single-player survival horror game. You explore semi-open areas with branching paths, interact with other souls, and possess people and demons to survive. The story has multiple endings, while a separate challenge mode uses randomly generated levels.

For you if...

  • +you like survival horror built around exploration and secrets

  • −you avoid explicit sexual content, nudity, and graphic gore
  • −you prefer a clear, linear route through the story
