About The Hull

The Hull is a single player survival shooter game with a horror theme. It was developed by Mire Studios and was released on February 12, 2026. It received mostly positive reviews from players.

This is not a run-and-gun shooter. Movement is deliberate, enemies hit hard, and staying too long makes the facility more dangerous. Each day sends your crew into abandoned underwater facilities where danger rises the longer you stay. You play as a Fathomwalker pushing deeper through nine increasingly hostile dives. Movement is deliberate, resources are limited, and every decision carries weight.…

    • “I'd personally love to see some kind of dodge mechanic and improvement to the audio feedback when being hit, as it's not always clear.”
    • “It plays into both tropes of roguelikes and roguelites where player skill does play a factor in the gameplay, but so does progressing through the weapon tiers.”
    • “It feels like an oldschool FPS you might find around the time of Halo, and feels a lot like going through a campaign in its gameplay.”

  • graphics

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics effectively create an immersive and unique aesthetic, enhanced by a retro style option that adds to the world-building. While visuals are praised for their creativity, some gameplay elements like sluggish movement and enemy design detract from the overall experience.

    • “The graphical style really plays into subtle world building.”

  • replayability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    • “High challenge, high replayability.”
    • “Finished on normal difficulty in an hour with a few friends and the replay value isn't really there unless you just want to do it again on a 'higher difficulty,' which is just tankier enemies tbh.”
    • “There's not a ton of replayability, but what's there is more than worth the asking price.”

  • atmosphere

    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
