Evaluation

Infernium launched on April 3, 2018 as a complete single-player experience. In the weeks following launch, the developer (Carlos Coronado, a solo developer) shipped a couple of small patches adding accessibility options, bug fixes, and Twitch integration features. In April 2018, the developer mentioned plans for a free DLC with new enemies and a skill — but this was never followed through with any announcement or release. The decisive signal came on October 8, 2020, when the developer posted directly to the Infernium page telling fans: "Do you want more Infernium? You won't get more Infernium!" This is an explicit statement that no further content is coming for the game. The developer went on to describe their subsequent projects in the Horror Tales series instead. Since that October 2020 post, there have been no further communications on the Infernium page — all subsequent news posts (through 2025) concern entirely different games by the same developer. The store description mentions "all upcoming DLC will be free," but given the developer's explicit 2020 statement that no more Infernium content is coming, this legacy bullet point does not indicate any actual planned content. No DLC was ever released or listed for the game. Infernium launched as a finished product and has been complete since its April 3, 2018 release date.

About this game

Pac-Man in hell

Infernium is a game filled with brutal challenges to overcome. While playing the game you won’t be able to kill or damage most of the enemies but at the same time running away without a second though is not the solution. While being chased you will need to think and reconsider your strategy and open hidden shortcuts while the world and it’s lore will unfold around you in a non-linear way making each playthrough diferent. From the creator of the multi awarded indie game of the year MIND: Path to Thalamus and the dev grant winner Koral.

Every little change you make in Infernium will remain like that forever. As a player you will have to be smart about harvesting (or not) Light, interacting with doors, barriers and elevators and even your death. Dying does not reset the world, it’s part of the experience. That’s why there will be consequences if you act careless with your deaths.

Infernium is one of the easiest games to mod using the free Unreal Engine 4. If the world of Infernium is not enough for you explore the Workshop to download expansions, modifications of Infernium or even brand new games, done with Infernium's content or custom content! PCMR Only feature.

Can hell be beautiful?

Infernium needed memorable appealing environments (instead of the usual images of a hell full of fire, suffering, screams and lots of reddish, gore landscapes) because in Infernium the most beautiful environments are also the most dangerous ones. This tends to generate disconfort, anxiety and inquietude in the player. It is no coincidence most of the brutal dangers in Infernium can be found at daylight in plain sight rather than in the darker claustrophobic environments.
