About the Game


Hell Architect Prologue is a free standalone version of the game 'Hell Architect'. This is beginning of a story where you start as a newbie manager of Hell. You are tasked with developing the underworld in a way that would make Lucifer himself fall off his chair. Let the Hell begin!

Create a hell of your dreams - will it have the infamous 9 levels, or will you create your own chaos, the way you see fit?
You begin with some basic buildings, like toilets (yup, they need those in hell, too!) and canteens, work your way through shrines and toilets and finish off with some intricate torture contraptions.
– Build your hell using materials like dirt, metal, coal etc and became best Hell manager!
– Take care of your sinners. You have to feed them, water them. They also have to rest (so you shuld build them something to sleep). Ofc you haven't to do anything from this list :)
– This everything in cute and stylish 2D graphics style!

You can treat the sinners sent to your humble abode to different, fun (or not) sources of suffering - be it by punishing them for disobedience or just doing it for fun. Your hell, your choices.
