Welcome survivors! In this here thread I will be lets playing Green Hell. Do you like watching Bear Grylls drink piss? Or Les Shroud complain about carrying his camera? Or partners yell at mosquitoes on Naked and Afraid?
If yes, then this game may be the entertainment your heart desires. Come join me on this grand adventure!


What the hell is Green Hell?

Green Hell is a survival game similar to the -Stranded- series or perhaps -The Forest-.

"Survival" games have a pretty bad reputation in the steam community because most upstart game developers tend to keep their survival games in permanent Early-Access limbo, leaving them to be buggy, forgotten messes.

Green Hell managed to break from this stereotype and actually create a decent enough romp through a horrible environment with an engaging story-mode. A story-mode that I will be playing through! Crikey!

Set in the Amazon rainforest the protagonist must brave this harsh environment in order to save his wife.

The game was published by Creepy Jar studios and was released on steam on Sept 5th, 2019.


What kind of LP is this?

This will be a video LP.


May I spoil the story for everyone?

Please don't


Okay well what does the game even look like?




Come see the beautiful Flora




And the friendly(ish) Fauna





This game has crafting! Gather materials to build a camp and other such things in order to survive!









The characters:



Jake Higgins

Anthropologist and award winning book author. Our protagonist of the story. Has a dark past. Also looks and sounds like Nathan Drake.



Mia HIggins

Jake's wife. Professional interpreter. Is Spanish. We must save her!

Edit: but its no longer there?

I am terribly sorry, but I'm moving my video off of my friend's team channel since they haven't bothered uploading anything in months and seemed to have lost interest in it.

Will update the link to my personal channel once it is finished uploading.

Once again terribly sorry.

Edit: The new link is up! sorry about the wait. https://youtu.be/5aJIlolykpY

You folks are great.

Yes I have checked out the LP beach discord. The people in there are pretty cool and gave me some good advice.

I have thought of twitch streaming but I'd like to get the hang of things one foot at a time so maybe sometime in the near future.

You have all been so positive and supportive, and I thank you all!

I will be back with another LP soon hopefully.



As for the game. In my opinion the bad ending was the better ending.
It really puts the Hell in Green Hell.

I admit, when I played through the game the first time I thought Mia would end up
being an antagonist of sorts, siding with poachers or some kind of other bad folks like the gold miners.

I wonder if anyone else thought the same?

I too enjoyed this LP!

This playthrough made the game seem lot different from most other games in the genre - a lot less focus on camp building and day-to-day survival and more moving towards the next plot objective. Is this mostly due to you having prior knowledge of the game, different pacing, or both?

Both?

I suppose the real explanation is that the games crafting and survival aspect isn't really deep enough, mechanically speaking, to warrant playing it like a base-building game.

Perhaps if they added more traps, enemies, waves ala The Forest, it would.

The only real modes of the game are the story mode and survival mode which is basically the same but without the story.

There is no real defense style survival modes.


All in all though I did enjoy the story and a survival game with an objective based story mode is fun in its own right.
