James Dornan’s (yes, it’s the work of one man!) game throws the player into a crazy world, but that’s why it can be an exciting pastime.
Cruel throws you into a twisted world. Disoriented and trapped in a bizarre hotel, you find a lifeless body in the elevator. Without hesitation, you grab the gun from its cold grip and brace yourself for the horrors that lie ahead. Fight your way through 10 dynamic, ever-changing levels filled with bloodthirsty enemies who won’t stop until you’re dead. The building itself is your enemy – time is running out and it’s trying to consume you.
Speed is your only ally as you race against an ever-changing environment. Keep an eye out for cans that serve as both health boosters and currency for powerful upgrades. Stack them up and unleash a devastating attack when you need it most. Feel the adrenaline surge as a hard-hitting electronic soundtrack keeps you on the edge of your seat. The relentless beats and aggressive synths reflect the intensity of the gameplay, immersing you deeper into the chaotic, surreal world of Cruel. Inspired by the adrenaline-pumping classics of FPS and arcade games, Cruel delivers fast-paced action with a twist of dark humor. It’s a nostalgic thrill ride that doesn’t take itself too seriously, offering a fresh experience with a comedic kick.
