Crank up the heat on sinners and have a good laugh. As an architect of the one and only Hell, players get to squeeze every bit of suffering from those who found themselves downstairs.
The newly released gameplay trailer for Hell Architect gives viewers a hot take on what to expect in the game. It turns out that Hell is like a big corporation and their product are prisons for lost souls and sinners. Under the watchful eye of Lilith from HR, players are put in charge of devising creative ways to squeeze as much suffering as possible from all the residents of downstairs.
Approval of the mightiest and more feared devils in Hell, including Lucifer himself, is required to climb down the corporate ladder. Players are evaluated on their hard work in addition to their sense of aesthetics and thriftiness. After all Hell is a business and resource management is key as there seems to be a never ending stream of new sinners.
There are the 9 infamous levels of hell for players to flew their creative muscles in the single player campaign mode. A sandbox mode is available for those that really want to unleash their inner architect demon.
To get started, players will need to build some basic buildings such as power stations and necessary accommodations for both sinners and demons. These constructions include toilets, canteens, shrines, demonic conference rooms, and even a place to sleep. Don’t let the sinners get too comfy as their suffering levels need to go up, much like profits of a successful real company. Punish these workers with intricate torture devices for their disobedience or just for the hell of it.
We are extremely happy to be bringing Hell Architect to PC fans this summer. We are thrilled to be working with the talented team at Woodland Games and add this dark humoured survival sim to our diverse portfolio of games. We can’t wait to see what kind of Hell fans can dream up.
