Escaping Hell

This 3 hour long 2D indie narrative uses a variety of game styles, from 2.5D perspective sword fighting to Platformer chases. However, succeeding at challenges and puzzles do not guarantee “'winning”' the game. Make the right choices to get out of hell — or don't. It's really your personal problem.

About the Game

When you wake up in Hell one morning, you have two options: stay where you are or attempt the impossible — finding a way out.

Explore this comical and sometimes scary take on the afterlife. Dodge boulders in Sisyphus Valley, run from a swarm of mysterious phantoms, and defend yourself from the army of monsters who seem to be crawling straight out of your nightmares. Get acquainted with the many people — “'people”' in the loosest definition of the word — who inhabit this hellscape world. Some will be friends, some will be foes, but it’s not always clear which is which! You'll have to make your own choices as you navigate your way through the afterlife, so you better determine fast who you can trust and who is out to get you.
