Squares of Hell

Squares of Hell is a puzzle game set in a mechanical, absurd version of Hell. Each level centers on one sinner, one demon and a bizarre machine. You solve puzzles, outsmart demons and help sinners indulge their petty vices as you descend through the inferno.

The sinners and their punishments

In the first square, you rescue a rock angel with dragonfly wings. He plays guitar riffs and offers sarcastic hints. The first sinner smoked so much that he filled his whole family’s home with smoke, including the dog. Now he jumps endlessly toward a giant cigarette; solve the puzzle and trick the demon so he can take a puff. The resulting smoke cloud opens the way to the next square.

The second sinner used to splash pedestrians with puddle water while driving. His punishment is to push a car uphill and watch it roll back down. You put the demon to sleep with caffeine and fix the car to break through to the next level. The third sinner blasted music so loudly that his neighbors left the neighborhood. He now jumps on a giant speaker until he finds peace in a suspended bed; use a mechanical hand to tuck him in and bring down the ceiling to reveal the exit.

Puzzles and machines

Later levels bring more petty sins and outlandish punishments. You ride hellish carousels, control a six-legged robot booth, trap demons in machines and blow up entire levels. The puzzles use smoking, coffee, loud music, garbage bags and other hellish mechanics, taking you from cigarette smoke to lava bridges.
