GREEN HELL CLEAN WATER SKIN
This element of the game sees you switch focus between each of your limbs, rotating them around slowly in order to find and remove leeches, burst horrifying boils, dig out wriggling parasites that have burrowed their way underneath your skin and apply rudimentary leaf bandages and plant-based salves to nasty burns, breaks, rashes and deep, deep cuts.

The various maladies you constantly inflict upon yourself as you experiment and explore your new rainforest home are treatable through an equally nifty – and pleasingly visceral – body examination system. A clever and concise system, it shows you your current protein, carb, fat and hydration levels with a simple push of the left D-Pad button, and can also be toggled between a GPS that you'll need to combine with a map (in order to figure out where you are) and a clock to let you know just how long you've got before you're plunged into total darkness once again. Mysterious bugs and plants you'll find dotted around need to be experimented with in order to test their effects does this great big slimy mushroom provide nutrition, does it have healing properties or is it simply going to kill me stone dead the second it passes my lips? Should I try to eat this fat, wriggling larvae or neon-coloured snail completely raw in order to provide emergency sustenance, or do they need to be cooked?Īs you feast on the various creepy bugs, putrid fruits and mystery liquids you stumble upon in the jungle, you'll rely on your rather nifty smartwatch to keep you up to date with how you're doing via its Macroelement Scanner. You'll learn the importance of sleep with regards to restoring vital energy, for example, and how you should never drink dirty water for fear of nasty stomach-eating parasites – or indeed to wade in that same water with open wounds lest they'll quickly become infected. Just getting some sort of reliable foothold in Green Hell is an arduous task, but, very slowly, you will begin to learn from your mistakes and start to get to grips with the harsh environment.
GREEN HELL CLEAN WATER FULL
This is a world full of dangerous plants and deadly animals, from snakes and scorpions that strike from the shadows and blight your blood with the ticking timebomb of venomous poison, to large predators such as jaguars, pumas, caimans and, of course, the local indigenous tribes who – quite rightly – do not hesitate to come at you with great big knives and pointy, shooty arrows. As you slowly inch your way through the dense jungle environment into which you've been dropped, you'll be faced with the immediate threat of dehydration and starvation and – as you attempt to scavenge a means to solving these most basic and pressing of problems – you'll be poisoned, bitten and broken repeatedly. This is, from the very outset, a survival game that absolutely earns the "hell" in its title. It brutalises you at every opportunity, forcing you to adapt quickly or die repeatedly, and lands on Switch in a decent port that performs well at the expense of the usual graphical downgrades and a handful of slight control niggles. Here is a survival effort that sticks admirably to its core conceit, never once allowing you an unearned foothold in its Amazonian rainforest setting. If you're a fan of relentlessly brutal open-world survival sims that fling you sans ceremony into a dangerous wilderness full of death and danger, then Creepy Jar's Green Hell might just be right up your street.
