Our take on Gehinnom
Rather than using a fixed horror map and repeatable scare sequence, Gehinnom makes randomness the organizing structure. It applies procedural variation to spaces, objectives, threats, weather, and minor environmental details, while its PvP mode turns one participant into the pursuing demon.
What is Gehinnom?
In this cooperative horror title, groups of 1–4 investigate procedurally arranged locations, collect evidence, and solve varied tasks to identify the objects needed for a ritual that drives away a stalking demon.
Each session changes the architecture, paths, furnishings, evidence positions, objectives, scares, attack behaviors, hazards, minor scenery, and weather. A player-versus-player option places one participant in control of the demon while the remaining players race to perform the ritual. The demon starts as a specter and fills a summoning gauge by using the surroundings to frighten humans. Each human has an individual fear gauge that increases during alarming encounters. After becoming a ghost, a player may still handle certain tasks and pass clue or item information to living allies.
