About


As Hell’s Governor, your task isn’t just building a city—it’s transforming chaos into order in a realm ruled by sin. Here, every decision and every soul counts.
In this city builder, you’ll craft an infernal hell city from the remnants of despair, balancing limited resources while harnessing the power of lost souls. Navigate the dark challenges inspired by the seven deadly sins and confront colossal titans that guard the underworld’s secrets. Each mission dives deep into lore and tests your strategic skills, as every failure paves the way for your resurgence.
Every cycle through the underworld teaches you something new: past mistakes become future strengths, and each new attempt brings you closer to building a legacy that defies eternal damnation. Focusing on immersive storytelling and dynamic gameplay, The HELL challenges you to reshape a realm where every structure tells a story of sin, suffering, and ultimate redemption.

Your dominion spans centuries. Souls arrive from humanity’s most catastrophic moments—from the chilling Fimbulwinter of ancient Nordic legends to the devastating Great Kanto Earthquake of Japan, and disasters ranging from the early 600-700 AD to the 18th century. In this launch, experience seven immersive missions that shape the very fabric of your underworld:
Dancing Plates of Kanto, Japan ( 1923 ) [Earthquake]
Broken Vein of Krakatoa, Indonesia ( 1883 ) [Volcano Eruption]
Witching Hour of Aztec, South America ( 1540 ) [Plague]
Stolen Sun of Northern Scandinavia ( 536 ) [Severe Cold]
Cracked Lips of Ancient Egypt ( 2200bc ) [Drought]
Wet Dream of Ancient Mesopotamia ( 3500bc ) [Flood]

Each mission is defined by its unique setting and features a formidable Titan and a narrative intricately tied to one of the seven deadly sins. Every map offers a distinct experience and challenge, ensuring no two missions are alike.

Unlike traditional city builders focused solely on population growth, The HELL challenges you to process these souls into Sinners—the essential workforce that fuels your hell city. As souls burst into your environment through the gaping maw of a Titan, they scatter and converge at a monumental structure known as The Purgatoria. Here, the raw, wandering spirits are queued for transformation, eventually forming the backbone of your infernal labor force. And when disaster strikes, feel the earthquake as the screen shakes, immersing you in the raw power of the underworld.
Before transformation, all souls are held in a designated area known as The Wait. This space is subdivided into three distinct zones—The Wait: Fire, The Wait: Ice, and the Blood Hall—each influencing the eventual form of the souls as they are processed. Here, every soul patiently awaits its fate, adding depth and strategy to your transformation process.

Resource management is key to building a thriving infernal hell city. As Hell’s Governor, you will strategically harness and utilize four primary resources—Blood, Waste, Cries, and Fears—to keep your city functioning and expand your dark domain. These resources are generated through specific buildings, and each serves a unique purpose:
Blood: Powers your city, maintaining its infrastructure and ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
Waste: The raw material necessary for construction and city development.
Cries: Used to nurture the Dreadful Tree, which unlocks new technologies and strategic options to enhance your city’s capabilities.
Fears: Required for invoking the power of the Seven Deadly Sins and unlocking new abilities to aid you in managing chaos.
Managing these resources effectively is vital for building your hell city, defending your city, and maintaining order in the face of the titanic forces that threaten to tear everything apart.
Moreover, you can monitor your resource flow—resources from mining and hauling are stored in your warehouse, making them readily available for construction and other operations.
Additionally, souls come in three distinct colors:
Blue Souls: These are the calm, obedient souls that satisfy your city's basic needs, patiently waiting to be transformed into Sinners or soldiers.
Yellow Souls: These souls are restless and nearly angry, signaling that they are ready to be processed as soon as sufficient space is available.
Red Souls: These are volatile and enraged. When fully incensed, they transform into sadists—ruthless entities that will steal resources and eliminate your valuable units.
And in moments of desperation, you may also gain random resources by sacrificing available units, such as Sinners or Soldiers.

Your hell city is never at rest. Dark forces and unpredictable chaos constantly threaten to unravel your domain. To counter these dangers, you can transform your sinners into specialized defenders—think of them as your infernal guardians.
These heroes can protect key buildings, calm unruly energies, and actively fend off emerging threats. Imagine your ordinary souls becoming swift, relentless protectors of your realm, standing as a bulwark against the encroaching darkness. By continually evolving and adapting your defensive strategy, you ensure that your city remains a bastion of order and strength amidst the eternal chaos of Hell.
To counter internal chaos, you can transform idle Sinners into specialized units:
Sentries: Act as guardians in your buildings to deter resource-stealing Shallow.
Sirens: Soothe agitated souls, reducing internal unrest.
Stalkers: Hunt and eliminate both Slitters and Shallows that threaten your order.
Unlock the full potential of your role as Hell’s Governor by activating unique skills tied to the Seven Deadly Sins in the Pandemonium. Each sin grants you a distinct ability that can dramatically influence your strategy and the fate of your hell city. Additionally, use the advanced Dreadful Tree technology to boost your city's performance and unlock valuable upgrades.
Will you rise above the chaos and forge a legacy in the flames of damnation? Or will the relentless tide of souls and the dark allure of sin overwhelm you?

So many souls, the imminent threat of a Titan and a taboo.
The HELL welcomes your miserable soul. Amen.

一款独特的地狱题材城市建设游戏, 整体风格非常独特, 玩法也相当有趣, 我个人还蛮喜欢的. 游戏过程中充满了策略性, 同时又很有创意. 美术风格和氛围塑造得很好, 真的有种在“地狱”中建造城市的感觉, 体验非常新鲜. 如果要说有什么不足的话,可能就是对刚接触这类游戏的玩家来说,第一章难度可以再简单一些. 期待它后续的优化和更新!
This game delivers an exciting and rewarding experience with its challenging gameplay and engaging mechanics. The cutscenes are beautifully directed, adding depth to the narrative, while the user interface is clean, intuitive, and visually polished. Although there are a few bugs, they don’t significantly affect the overall gameplay. Overall, it offers a solid blend of fun and immersion, and I’m definitely looking forward to the official release of the game.

Игра 'The HELL Prologue : City Builder of the Dead' оставила смешанные впечатления. С одной стороны, задумка интересная: строительство города для выживших в зомби-апокалипсисе, с постоянной угрозой нападений нежити. Ресурсы ограничены, решения приходится принимать быстро, и каждый выбор может решить, кто выживет, а кто нет. Атмосфера угнетающая, и это, несомненно, плюс. С другой стороны, игра ощущается сырой. Интерфейс немного неуклюжий, а графика могла бы быть и лучше. Баланс сложности вызывает вопросы: иногда кажется, что выживание зависит больше от удачи, чем от стратегического планирования. Особенно это касается волн зомби, которые могут просто уничтожить все ваши постройки, не оставив шанса на защиту. В целом, потенциал у игры огромный, но пока что это именно "пролог". Надеюсь, разработчики продолжат улучшать проект, добавлять контент и исправлять недостатки. Пока рекомендую ознакомиться, если вас привлекают зомби-тематика и градостроительные симуляторы, но будьте готовы к тому, что игра находится в разработке и может показаться незаконченной. Покупать сейчас, или подождать дальнейших обновлений - решать вам.
This is a unique hell-themed city-building game with a distinct and creative style, and a gameplay that's both strategic and challenging. It's not a traditional city-builder, instead of managing happy citizens and green parks, you're in charge of the entire hell. You'll need to balance burial space, resource allocation, and the needs of countless cursed souls. Every decision here is crucial, and even a small mistake can lead to your eternal damnation. The art style and atmosphere are masterfully crafted, both eerie and imaginative, with monsters and legends from various cultures adding depth to the world. A closer look at the characters reveals they each have unique personalities and detailed animations, as if they truly live in this twisted version of hell. The cutscenes are beautifully directed, with a perfect narrative pace, and the original soundtrack and sound effects further enhance the immersive experience. In terms of gameplay, you not only need to plan your city layout with foresight, but also be prepared for major events or even boss battles to suddenly appear when you think you have everything under control. This forces you to adjust your strategy on the fly, reallocate resources, and make important choices that could affect the entire game. This tension and uncertainty are exactly what make the game so addictive. The user interface is clean, intuitive, and visually refined, with smooth overall performance. While there are some minor bugs during the experience, they don't detract from the overall fun, and I'm confident they'll be optimized in future versions. Whether you want to be a benevolent ruler or a ruthless tyrant, the game offers different challenges and endings, making each playthrough feel fresh. Overall, this is a refreshing take on the city-building genre. With its unique theme, deep strategic gameplay, and immersive artistic presentation, I can't wait for the official release.
I went into The Hell: City Builder of the Dead expecting a quirky gimmick — but ended up sinking hours into it without realizing. This is not your typical city-builder. You’re not managing happy citizens and green parks; you’re running Hell itself, balancing tomb space, resources, and the constant demands of damned souls. What really hooked me was how the game blends strategy with high-stakes events. Just when you’re feeling in control, a massive boss fight drops in, forcing you to adapt your city layout, shift resources, and make choices that carry real weight. It’s tense, unpredictable, and incredibly satisfying when you pull through. The world-building is top notch — everything from the art direction to the lore feels dark yet imaginative, with creatures and myths from across cultures. The soundtrack nails the atmosphere, and the writing walks that perfect line between grim and witty. I also love that it rewards experimentation. You can be a merciful governor or a ruthless tyrant, and both paths offer unique challenges and outcomes. If you enjoy city-builders but wish they had more bite, The Hell delivers something fresh, challenging, and surprisingly addictive. Verdict: SimCity went to Hell, and I’m staying there.

第一次玩,2.4小时通关,然后看了落幕动画接着就没了 回头一看 恁娘的这是序章 只有第一关 炒!我还不如去玩冰汽时代不过毕竟是免费 体验一下还是可以的 就是建筑贴图画质有点拉 建模建的太拉了
游戏内容及质量就目前披露内容是及格的,但并不推荐。 1.游戏新手引导极差,导致玩家会堆积问题无法解决,进入连续的恶性循环,直到整个城市因为大量问题导致失败。 2.游戏经营逻辑没有很好的设置,生产建筑没法控制效率,工人利用率极差。(你能想象吗,修路的资源会因为生产该资源的建筑因为地震导致道路中断无法产出,对了,拆除道路是不返还的,导致无法修复恢复生产而彻底死局!!!) 3.游戏难度及发展曲线设计及其不合理,如果不按照一个公式化开局,一定会跟不上新手引导而错过一堆东西,导致问题堆积。 4.你很难想象,游戏初期就会出现建筑损坏,然后你既不能拆除,也不能修复,它就在那里杵着,像是看一个无能的丈夫。
Бесплатный ранний доступ, без возможности проверить кампанию. Попробовал пару сессий в бесконечном режиме, в итоге, как и всегда: идея хорошая, реализация хромает. Плюсы: + Играть в целом можно. Геймплей работает, грешники бегают, ресурсы копятся. Даже было интересно первый час, пока не прокачал да 2 уровня спец. здания. Ну, на этом плюсы всё. Минусы: - Баги. Не много, но существенные. Терновик не растёт, стража не ловит демонов - это то, что было заметно за наигранное время. - Никакого QoL. Нет ни клавиш для быстрого выбора инструментов, ни инструмента выделения. Чтобы проапгрейдить жилища, коих может быть и 50, пришлось тыкать индивидуально по каждому, симулятор ада никогда не был так реалистичен. - Специальные здания не работают. Во всяком случае, что делают Пандемониум, Жуткое дерево и Зиккурат я так и не понял, кнопок для взаимодействия в них не было. Их апгрейд ничего не дал. - Прогрессии не увидел, вообще никакой. Даже если она была, она должна была быть со старта. - Ну и адского вайба, личного участия в наказании грешников, построения своих девяти кругов с блэкджеком и путанами и любого другого интересного времяпрепровождения я для себя тоже не нашёл. Пока что это симулятор циферок на пару часов, с графической стилистикой Ада, не более.
