Agony is an upcoming survival horror video game developed by Madmind Studio and published by PlayWay. Players begin their journey as a tormented soul within the depths of hell without any memories about their past. The special ability to control people on their path, and even possess simple minded demons, gives the player the necessary measures to survive in the extreme conditions they are in.
The game is played from a first-person perspective. The player controls one of the Martyrs placed in hell. Using mechanics such as crouching and holding his breath, the player can avoid demons. Besides hiding, the player needs to solve puzzles in order to unlock new areas. There are available hidden statues that the player can collect, as well as paintings which are possible to discover.
First impressions of the game were positive. Gameranks rewarded Agony second place in their Top 10 Games from Gamescom 2016 rank. The official gameplay trailer went viral. The game's developers claimed on their Steam page Agony trailers on YouTube got over 6 million views.
In November 2016, the developers of Agony started their Kickstarter campaign to fund the creation of the game. The Kickstarter campaign surpassed its goal and ended in December 2016.
