HellSign

HellSign is a game about hunting supernatural creatures in Australia. You play a Hunter, the last line of defense against ghouls, ghosts, demons and other creatures lurking just beyond the human world. Investigate strange sightings, study evidence and use what you learn to track down your targets and discover how to kill them.

The story

You wake with a vague memory of having died the previous night while delirious from drugs during a dangerous job. A fresh brand on your skin, which you do not remember receiving, leaves you uneasy. Following a bloody trail, you investigate reports of strange sightings, including spectral women beckoning people into fog and spiders as large as wolves.

Build your hunter

You begin with a flickering torch, a rusty gun and your wits. Completing jobs develops your skills and teaches you more about the creatures that haunt the night. A detailed RPG and job system lets you develop your character and build your arsenal as you work toward becoming an elite Hunter and getting revenge.

Choose your contracts

You decide which jobs to take on. Contracts pit you against creatures including ghosts, hellhounds, monstrous spiders and demons, and each can play out differently from the last.

Study and hunt

You can charge in with guns blazing and rely on your shotgun, or research your targets and exploit their weaknesses. Reading your surroundings and collecting clues helps you learn how to slay each creature. The Cryptonomicon serves as a hunter’s guidebook, recording the creatures you have killed and the clues you have found.

Tools of the trade

Your arsenal includes shotguns, booby traps, silver nitrate rounds and high-tech gadgets. Choosing what to bring and when to use it can determine whether a hunt ends in victory or defeat.
