About the Game

Hell of Sins: soul is a Cthulhu-style horror adventure game (AVG).

The story happened in the legendary hell. The male leading role Qin Xuan died and fell into hell, and found that the so-called hell was not the reincarnation place of souls as people said, but a horrible prison with evil ghosts--Hell of Sins.

When the souls of the human dead fall into Hell of Sins, it will show its ferocious face. Conspiracy and killing, desire and plunder, struggle and hesitation, darkness and evil are all in it!

Facing the horrible evil ghosts everywhere and the human souls that are mad and fallen in Hell of Sins, those souls who have yet been swallowed by the darkness start a difficult journey to survive...


=Art Style=

In Hell of Sins: soul, we have applied the black-and-white hand-painted style. In our opinion, hell should be a hopeless and desperate dark world. Therefore, the black-and-white painted style is the best interpretation of it. Meanwhile, the deep darkness will stimulate people's fear of the unknown.

In aspects of characters, scenes and monsters, we have also learned the style of Mr. Junji Ito, a master of horror, and referred to elements of Cthulhu in the setting of monsters. The combination of these two factors can perfectly show the indescribable horror, and bring you a feast of fear that impact both your eyes and heart.
