South of Hell is a short indie horror, set in a gas station, one of the most used settings for horror games in 2023...Explaining the history would be spoiling the game, and since it's short, you won't have to wait too long until the credits roll. My only problem with it is the initial sequence in the dining, since it seems to drag out for far longer than it should have.The game runs fairly well on Steam Deck as you can see by pressing the link below:
I heard a lot of people talking about bugs recently. Most I got during my play through was the door not opening but I quickly figured out it was just the knob you needed to look at. This game genuinely scared me despite the jumpscares being thrown in haphazardly. Great game!
Though the game creator ran out of time, I must say, they did quite well with this short horror game. It has a chilling atmosphere as you work in a gas station in literally the middle of nowhere on Halloween night. Never work alone - you may not survive!
A nice short game, while feeling a little silly at times, was still good. The controls felt nice and easy to grasp and nothing too difficult for the puzzles. I found the ending with the candles a bit confusing on if there was an actual choice or not but still had fun. The jumpscares felt a little cheap and didn't pay off too well and the voice acting could use a little work, but didn't take away from the overall experience.
Short but a worth while play. Interesting with out being too heavy handed. A few more puzzles be nice, but hey what there works well. The detail work pretty good, the scene shifts are fun and catch you off guard a few times. And the finishes.. will stick with me.
Nice game, but try removing some of those unexpected jumpscares because they kind feel cheap(because the character dose not react to them at all) and ruin the atmosphere. The concept is great though
I find the concept of this very interesting! And working at a gas station, alone, far from the city, made it even creepier! Normally, I don't like when scares are thrown left and right, but these were actually delivered very well! Some of them got me pretty good! I was definitely anxious for the next scare lol. Here's my playthrough, and I gave some final thoughts at the end (and some throughout)! Overall, great job on a great game!
Not a bad game, but so much can be better! I feel like you started with the right foot, but then tripped and almost fell. You have something pretty good on your hands! I hope you can make it amazing! I made a full review on it by the end of the video, if you're interested it starts at 18:11.
This was so much fun, i was going to make it part of a 3 scary game, but it was way too god to get lost in that shuffle and definitely deserved its own video. keep up the good work

Enjoyed the game very much - something new at every turn. Well done.

I quite liked the way it started, the cutescenes, some jumpscare are unexpected.
So much can be improved after this game and some good horror can come out.
My compliments, there is some smearing but it is a good game and to be enjoyed
Comrade,
Images flashing suddenly are NOT a recipe for horror. They're just a guarantee for a heart attack, which makes playing your games harder.
Also, where are subtitles? How are people hard of hearing supposed to understand the dialogue?
I filled the last six dollars, and I hope I can see this game on Steam as soon as possible
Thank you!
Enjoyed it, and had good jumpscares
