They’ll place digging as the highest priority, even if you’ve told them to go suffer in a torture chamber. Don’t get too carried away with digging, however - the AI isn’t the best when it comes to the sinners. Have sinners dig tunnels to not only expand your square footage but receive resources like dirt, metal, and coal, necessary to build more structures and fulfill more goals.

Of course, the sinners will also have to have their needs met in between all this suffering - what, you think we’d just torture them without letting them get a good night’s rest? What do you think we are, some kind of monster? It’s critically important that sinners eat slop, drink recycled urine, use dirty latrines, and sleep in cardboard box huts - that way, they can be primed and ready for a full day’s worth of agonizing torture to generate even more suffering.Īs time goes on, you’ll gain more and more sinners that’ll enter through the gates of hell, so you’ll need to keep expanding your little layer into a fully fledged circle. Each sinner will have a specific torture that will elicit more suffering than normal, so be sure to take a look at their stats to create a personalized hell for each of the condemned. Iron maidens, furnaces, and vats of boiling oil are but a few of the horrific methods of torture sinners will be subjected to for all eternity. What does this mean for the sinners? Well, unfortunately for them, the currency down here is suffering, which the sinners generate by building, then utilizing a torture device that is designed for pain beyond measure. Despite their deeds in life, these people are now dead, and their souls are doomed to do your bidding until the end of time. I appreciated the fact that it was just left at “Pride” or “Envy” and not a specific sin that got too creatively grotesque in its details. Each game starts off with a handful of sinners, all there because they’ve committed one of the seven deadly sins in their lifetime.

And with three difficulty modes to choose from, Hell can be as painful or as painless as you want it to be (for you).Īs for those pour souls doomed to spend eternity in the hell of your making, Hell Architect artfully toes the line between too cute and too cruel. Players who don’t want to feel too chained can skip the scenarios and head straight to the sandbox, where full freedom awaits. Those who enjoy a good storyline can play through the campaign, which will have players fulfilling requests from more established demons, like constructing a statue of Beezlebub as per your manager Frank and the HR manager, Lilith. Hell Architect has players taking on the role of a newly appointed manager of Lucifer Corporation. Despite any perceived initial issues, seems like players now are having a hell of a good time. Although Hell Architect had something of a rocky launch due to some Kickstarter concerns, the hell raiser quickly rose from Mixed reviews to Very Positive in the span of a few weeks. Available on Steam for $24.99, Hell Architect promises players the ability to create the hell of their dreams… or nightmares.

So begins Hell Architect, a positively sinful city-builder developed by Woodland Games and published by Leonardo Interactive. Now, get to work! These sinners won’t suffer on their own! If you do a good job, I’ll be sure to take aaaaaaaaall the credit for your hard work. Anyway, lower hell hasn’t been attended to in awhile, so looks like it’ll be up to you to keep things running smoothly. Don’t read too deeply into that phrase, it’s just an expression we have around here. Ah, you must be the new worm that wriggled its way down into these godforsaken bowels.
