What exactly is Hellpoint?

The debut project of the independent studio called Cradle Games. Hellpoint is an action RPG strongly inspired by the Dark Souls series, similarly challenging, demanding patience and learning of enemies' attacks. This production is set in the dark realities of technofantasy – we play a nameless hero exploring a space station, whose inhabitants went mad, possessed by mysterious creatures.

What's gameplay like in Hellpoint?

Since it's a Soulslike game, the cornerstone of fun will be the high difficulty level. It should also bring several solutions that will be unique in this kind of a game. For example, the character development system will work similarly to The Elder Scrolls series, where proficiency in specific skills and abilities will be increased by regularly using them. Another curiosity is the special system called Quantic, which will ensure that after each death or beginning a new game, the world will change – there will be new locations, and enemies will be reshuffled.

He started with amateur websites, which he coded himself in HTML, then he moved on to increasingly larger portals. A computer engineer, but he was always more drawn to writing than programming, and he decided to tie his future with the former. In games, he primarily looks for stories, emotions, and immersion that no other medium can provide - hence, among his favorite titles, are games focusing on narration. Believes that NieR: Automata is the best game ever made.
