To Hell with the Ugly is an adventure game where you play as Rock Bailey, a gorgeous yet shallow young man, who must investigate and fight his way to freedom after being kidnapped. Alternate between turn-based combats and investigation in this film noir adaptation of the novel by Boris Vian.
Players must thoroughly explore the richly-detailed environments of 1950s Los Angeles, searching for evidence and making deductions to solve puzzles. The point-and-click interface makes navigation and interaction intuitive, allowing players to immerse themselves in the noir-inspired setting. Conversations with NPCs and examination of crime scenes provide crucial clues to unravel the mystery.
When confronted with hostile situations, the game transitions into turn-based combat sequences. These encounters require players to carefully time their attacks and blocks to gain the upper hand. While not overly complex, the combat system adds an engaging layer of gameplay that complements the investigative nature of the adventure.
Interspersed throughout the investigation are various logic-based and environmental puzzles that players must solve to progress. These challenges task players with using their gathered clues and observational skills, striking a balance between being satisfying to solve without becoming overly frustrating.
The game offers a range of accessibility options, allowing players to adjust text size, color-code different text categories, reassign keys, and even skip combat encounters if desired. This flexibility caters to a wide range of player preferences and needs, ensuring a more inclusive and enjoyable experience.
