How it feels

A short, somber interactive tale where you guide a stranded astronaut through hand-drawn scenes and narrative puzzles, feeling isolated yet determined.

What players say

Players describe Hostil as a beautiful but extremely short point-and-click game that plays more like a hidden object game than a traditional adventure. Completion takes 15 minutes to an hour, and some players were frustrated by pixel hunting, sound puzzles, and the lack of save slots. The story is simple and the atmosphere is praised, but there is little replay value.
