Our take on Hellworld!
Rather than treating enemies only as obstacles, the game makes them temporary tools: Seth possesses them and applies their abilities to both combat and puzzles. Its level structure also replaces a single setting with areas themed around the Seven Deadly Sins.
What is Hellworld!?
Hellworld!
is a story-driven 2D side-scrolling platforming adventure. Seth, who learns on his 13th birthday that he is Lucifer’s son, sets out to gather his half-siblings and oppose his father’s rule. His power of Despair lets him possess enemies and control them, using their abilities to overcome obstacles and fight through each level. The game combines platforming, puzzle solving, exploration, and combat across distinct areas based on the Seven Deadly Sins. Locations include Fist Gulch, a wrath-themed landscape, and Greaseland, a theme park built around gluttony. Levels also contain challenges and secrets as Seth travels through Hellworld.
