Hellpoint

About

Hellpoint drops you into the wreckage of a space station where reality has shattered. You play a being forged by a higher power to investigate a cosmic disaster that fused people with alternate versions of themselves. Combat mixes gunplay and magic as you fight through shifting environments teeming with hostile entities. The story unfolds through fragmented logs and environmental storytelling while your sanity slowly erodes from the same quantum corruption infecting the station. The game stands out for its surreal art style and relentless sense of dread. Player reviews on Steam hover around 70% positive with many praising the oppressive atmosphere and inventive weapon upgrades. Co op and split screen modes add layers to the claustrophobic experience though the steep difficulty curve and pacing issues turn some players away. Available on over a dozen platforms it brings its brand of existential horror to almost every system.
