In the 19th century, Canudos became a refuge for thousands. When its people defied the new Republic, they faced brutal retaliation, leaving 25,000 dead. Play as Pajeú, a warrior fighting to rescue the soul of The Counselor, his fallen mentor. With each descent, time warps, and your power grows as you confront the dark forces that claimed his head and trapped his soul. Every second counts as you battle the undead forces of your oppressors. Risk delving deeper for powerful loot and face the nightmarish incarnations of those who sought to bury the truth. Hunt down ancient Relics infused with the strength of resistance. Create devastating combinations that channel Canudos's unbreakable spirit into unstoppable power. Master a diverse selection of devastating abilities born from righteous fury. Dance through hordes with lightning-fast knife strikes, smash enemies with Canudos' great bell, or rain rapid-fire death from your trusty sidearm. Each descent brings new chances to right historical wrongs. Discover unique combinations of Blessings to evolve your build as you face the demons of Brazil's dark past, present, and future. Whether you seek a brutal test against history's oppressors or a thoughtful journey of justice, Hell Clock adapts to your path. Remove all time pressure with Relaxed Mode, or push your limits in Hardcore mode. Experience a complete three-act story campaign and start a new journey through our Endgame Ascension system! Climb through Hell Mode , craft challenges with Penances, and complete heavenly Promises in exchange for the godly power of the Constellations. Take your builds to the next level by Imbuing Relics with Tools to increase their power and add new effects. Or take the risk for greater rewards by Corrupting your Relics, with equal chances for blessing or bane. 

Press reviews: “If you’re looking for a beautifully dark, satisfyingly complex single-player action RPG with real stakes, set your alarms for Hell Clock.” ScreenRant “It’s the perfect amount of risk/reward that drives all great roguelikes and dungeon crawlers. Hell Clock is an intense ride from beginning to end.” VICE “It's very much a home-cooked meal to Blizzard's uncannily shapely cheeseburger; the pissy gherkin tang of applied psychology not entirely but mostly replaced by love and care and a bit of inner fire. It does not want to take over your life. It is pulpy and fiercely animated and grimly righteous. It is smart, dumb fun.” Rock Paper Shotgun 

Notes: Hell Clock includes depictions of intense violence and historical themes that reflect the brutal setting of the War of Canudos in Brazil, 1896. Players take on the role of a character immersed in challenging battles and face enemies in a dark, atmospheric environment that may contain scenes of explicit combat and references to social injustices of the time. While the game explores themes of resilience and justice, it portrays violence in a way that aligns with the historical and narrative context. There are no depictions of sexual abuse, drug or alcohol use, or other explicit sensitive topics.
