Hell Clock

Hell Clock is an action game set against the history of Canudos in 19th-century Brazil. After the people of Canudos defied the new Republic, brutal retaliation left 25,000 dead. You play as Pajeú, a warrior descending into danger to rescue the soul of his fallen mentor, The Counselor. Time warps with each descent, and Pajeú grows stronger as he confronts the forces that took The Counselor’s head and trapped his soul.

Descend into battle

You fight the undead forces of the oppressors, deciding how far to delve in search of powerful loot and facing nightmarish incarnations of those who tried to bury the truth. Each descent offers new chances to right historical wrongs, as you confront demons from Brazil’s dark past, present and future.

Pajeú’s abilities include lightning-fast knife strikes, attacks with Canudos’ great bell and rapid-fire shots from his sidearm. You can hunt down ancient Relics infused with the strength of resistance and combine their power with abilities to create devastating builds.

Builds and challenges

Unique combinations of Blessings let you evolve your build. You can also increase Relics’ power and add effects by Imbuing them with Tools, or risk Corrupting them for a chance at either a blessing or a bane.

The complete story campaign spans three acts. Afterward, the Endgame Ascension system lets you climb through Hell Mode, create challenges with Penances and complete heavenly Promises in exchange for the power of the Constellations.

Choose your pace

Hell Clock offers a brutal test against history’s oppressors or a more thoughtful journey of justice. Relaxed Mode removes time pressure, while Hardcore mode lets you push your limits.
