If you’ve ever thought about literally building out your own version of Hell, you’ll get the chance in Hell Architect, with a free version available right now!
You know we love our building/management sims here on Cinelinx, and the crazier the idea, the better. As such, I’m pretty darn excited to check out Hell Architect. As the name implies, the game is all about crafting your own version of HELL, all 9 levels of it. You’ll have to climb the corporate ladder in the underworld in order to snag new items, levels, and other things.
So yeah, it sounds like your standard management builder, but the idea really has me hooked. Even better, starting today (right now), players can download the Prologue on Steam completely FREE:
The Prologue will guide players through the basics of designing and building their very own hell in the comprehensive tutorial, before unleashing them into the Prologue scenario where they can put all their new found skills to the test. If that’s not enough, there is a sandbox mode available where you can research and construct evermore intricate rooms and put your sinners to work harvesting materials to build your torture devices! Expect dark humour and gory themes aplenty!
The full game is expected to launch later this Summer and will bring a more complete experience. So go download that prologue so you can get a head start on Hell.
In Hell Architect you’re playing as, you guessed it, an architect of Hell. Your task here is to craft new prisons for the lost souls and sinners who have found themselves ‘downstairs’. Just like all good (or bad) big corporations, Hell is a tightly run ship and under the watchful eye of Lilith from the HR department, you must devise the most creative ways to squeeze as much suffering as you can out of the sinners who will be spending eternity in this hot spot. That’s not all. To climb down the corporate ladder, you must gain the approval of the greatest and most feared devils in Hell, including the head honcho, Lucifer himself, as they evaluate your hard work as well as your sense of aesthetics and thriftiness!
Features of Hell Architect:
Create the Hell of your dreams: Flex your creative muscles to design, build and furnish 9 infamous levels of Hell in the single player campaign mode, or spend a hellish eternity designing your own chaotic masterpiece from scratch in sandbox mode.
If you build it, they will suffer!: Begin with basic buildings like power stations (yup they need those in Hell too!) and canteens for your hungry workers and expand your empire to include shrines and intricate torture contraptions to increase the level of suffering for your weary residents.Management is key: Harvesting resources, building an infrastructure and expanding your Hell will be key in your success. A constant stream of new lost souls will provide more hands to use, but will require managing to keep them working.
Crack the whip: Treat the sinners sent to your humble abode to different fun (or not so fun) sources of suffering, be it punishing them for disobedience or just for fun. Your Hell, your choices.
Hell never looked so good: The stylish 2D art style perfectly blends with the brutal, gorey themes and is topped off with outstanding dark humour.
Guest appearances: Play as Legendary Characters, a motley crew of history’s most despicable sinners who drop into your domain, each possessing special abilities to help build your devilish masterpiece.
