Hellpoint Review
This game was designed to pretty close to hell, and it succeeded, but not in a good way. Hellpoint is a sci-fi souls-like that was developed by Cradle Games. It was released on July 30, 2020, and got rated a 6/10 by IGN.

The original game was developed in August 12, 2017, then expanded as System Redux as a separate game in November 10, 2020. Its focus is psychological horror, and it's tense atmosphere.
