A bit of catch up at the moment, and I can’t let the week finish without mentioning Hell Architect’s release date – game by Woodland Games and Leonardo Interactive.
Just foolishly snapping up a few titles for the weekend (which I probably won’t have time to play), seeing it in my wishlist reminded me of the news. If you’re familiar, Hell Architect is a survival sim with a dark sense of humour.

Your role, as the title infers, is to craft the best hell there is. Find new ways of designing and managing ways to torture its habitants, putting them to work to source the materials for your devilish creations, all the while impressing your boss, Luicifer.
Key features in Hell Architect include:
- Create the Hell of your dreams: Flex your creative muscles to design, build and furnish 9 infamous levels of Hell in the single player campaign mode, or spend a hellish eternity designing your own chaotic masterpiece from scratch in sandbox mode.
- If you build it, they will suffer!: Begin with basic buildings like power stations (yup they need those in Hell too!) and canteens for your hungry workers and expand your empire to include shrines and intricate torture contraptions to increase the level of suffering for your weary residents.
- Management is key: Harvesting resources, building an infrastructure and expanding your Hell will be key in your success. A constant stream of new lost souls will provide more hands to use, but will require managing to keep them working.
- Crack the whip: Treat the sinners sent to your humble abode to different fun (or not so fun) sources of suffering, be it punishing them for disobedience or just for fun. Your Hell, your choices.
- Hell never looked so good: The stylish 2D art style perfectly blends with the brutal, gorey themes and is topped off with outstanding dark humour.
- Guest appearances: Play as Legendary Characters, a motley crew of history’s most despicable sinners who drop into your domain, each possessing special abilities to help build your devilish masterpiece.
Here’s the good news: Hell Architect will be out on the 18th of August on Steam. Wishlist it now!
