Hellpoint: The Thespian Feast

About

Hellpoint: The Thespian Feast is a standalone expansion to the dark action RPG Hellpoint. You play as an investigator arriving at the abandoned Irid Novo space station 50 years after the original events. The setting merges decaying scientific infrastructure with occult horrors, forcing you to scavenge for supplies while fending off grotesque enemies. Combat emphasizes resource management and tactical positioning, with permadeath stakes amplifying tension. Co-op and competitive multiplayer modes add variability, letting you team up or turn on each other mid-mission. The game’s oppressive atmosphere stands out, with dimly lit corridors and cryptic audio logs deepening its cosmic horror vibe. Reviews highlight its punishing difficulty curve and tightly woven lore, though some note pacing issues in later acts. With a Metacritic score of 72 and a dedicated fanbase for its predecessor, this sequel offers a grim, brainy twist on the survival RPG formula. The story unfolds through fragmented discoveries rather than dialogue, rewarding patient exploration over brute force.

Storyline

Many decades after the incident, someone finally manages to reach the forsaken space colony of Irid Novo. What the investigator finds, defies any form of reason, but a morbid obsession pushes him forward. If death doesn't come first, insanity will surely have the better of him.
