Genre: Survival Horror.
Gameplay: Running and hiding.
Visuals: Taken from medieval portrayals of hell, by Michelangelo and Bosch, as well as a monster from Doom.
Music: Audio from the "Sounds of Hell" hoax from the late 1980s, and "Sense of Doubt" by David Bowie, 1977.
Characters: You play as your soul, trying to hide from its inevitable judgment and torture.
How to win: The only way to avoid your torture is to take Satan's place as the king of the underworld. But you have to hide for long enough, and sneak into Hell deep enough to find out how.
How to lose: Get caught by any demon.
Cue music:
Your soul is being transported to hell. In the confusion, you escape...
You sneak throughout the hellscape...
A giant demon approaches!
You have to hide in a pile of dead bodies:
Then you sneak further, and hide inside a giant demon as it travels around (cue new music):
You're safe inside for a while, but he only takes you deeper into Hell, where things are even more dangerous, and there are more demons around. You find a demon eating souls and excreting them deeper into the next level of Hell. You have to sneak behind him and climb deeper into the hole yourself.
The game continues in this fashion until you are either caught and tortured forever, or you find your way to the heart of Hell and can take Satan's place.
