To the Hell

To the Hell is a side-scrolling game in which you play as a girl trying to reach hell by passing a difficult trial. You use a small set of controls to make your way through hard levels, where death is common and progress comes at the cost of sacrifice.

The journey

The route to hell leads through a faded black-and-white world of abstract, broken graphics, with bloody red and deep blue as its remaining colors. The journey itself is described as absurd, beyond its visual style.

Levels and physics

In levels set in the real world, you follow fixed rules of physics and struggle to survive hostile, slightly bloody environments. Other levels take place in virtual zones where physics no longer applies; there, you can perform a double jump and change gravity. In both settings, your aim is to keep advancing.

Controls

The game uses the left, down and right buttons and space.
