This is What’s in the Box? In this video series, we regularly unbox new games and things, so let us know if there’s something you want us to check out!

In the latest edition of What’s in the Box?!, we unbox a press kit from Creepy Jar for their newly released jungle survival game – Green Hell.

The press kit includes the game, a t-shirt, a tactical USB stick, some polaroid photos, and a survival pouch complete with: a Green Hell wristband, a tactical multi-tool, a cold compress, German waterproof safety matches, a commando-style wire saw, and a case filled with real, dried bugs for emergency protein.

I’m literally serious about that last part – you can see them in the above video. Expect our review for the game shortly, as well as a stream next week where we’ll show off the game itself!

Here’s a rundown of the game:

GREEN HELL is an Open World Survival Simulator set in the uncharted unique setting of the Amazonian rainforest.

You are left alone in the jungle without any food or equipment, trying to survive and find your way out. Clinging to life, the player is set on a journey of durability as the effects of solitude wear heavy not only on the body but also the mind. How long can you survive against the dangers of the unknown?

On this journey, you won’t get any help from the outside world. Equipped only with your bare hands you’ll have to learn actual survival techniques to build shelters, make tools, and craft weapons in order to hunt and defend yourself. Constantly threatened by the jungle you’ll fight with both wild animals and tropical sicknesses. Players will also have to face the traps set by your own mind and fears that crawl in the darkness of the endless jungle.

STORY
You are thrown deep into the emerald and impenetrable Amazonian rain forest. The green hell. Your goal is to survive in the depths of a nightmarish environment using truly intuitive means to escape. Having only a radio at your disposal you will follow the familiar voice of a loved one through this endless and inhospitable jungle, unveiling bit by bit how you got there in the first place. What you discover will be worse than what you fought so hard against to survive.

THE QUESTION
Where can the human mind wander?
