Hellcoming

Hellcoming is a co-op horror survival game for 1–4 players. You clean large areas of hellish abominations using special tools, then destroy the artifact connecting a demon to your world.

Find and destroy the artifact

To reach the artifact, you travel through a portal to the demon’s shelter. It rests on a hellish altar protected by runes. Each rune relates to a specific kind of hellish abomination, so you must cleanse unnatural things and kill hell creatures to break the protections.

Demons can imprison players, and you must help your friends escape. Watch each other’s backs and avoid letting the demons lock up every player.

Tools for the cleanup

Your equipment includes:

• Vacuumer: collects liquids and has a limited tank capacity.
• Brush: cleans all kinds of dirt, but becomes dirty after a few cleanings.
• UV lamp: burns insects and hellish abominations, but overheats while operating.
• Shocker: kills medium-sized creatures and has limited ammunition.
• Bottle: a fragile container holding a special liquid that extinguishes fires.
• Scanner: scans the location and shows cleanup progress on its monitor.
• EMF detector: helps you find demonic creatures and objects.
• Medstation: creates injectors to heal wounded players.
• Video cameras: let you watch some rooms on a monitor in your van.

Survive the search

You cannot run indefinitely, even when fleeing a demon, so stay near safe areas. Each building has many rooms; explore carefully and keep track of the way back to the exit. Traps can look harmless but put you in danger.

As the game progresses, the demon’s rage and speed increase, along with the number of hellish creatures it spawns to stop you.
