Hellbound: Reign of El Diablo
A kinetic visual novel and dark-comedy crime story set in the neon nightlife of 2005's Baratrum City. Follow Zyne, the newly re-appointed leader of a quirky crime gang, as he descends down a path of darkness.
Demons and gangsters collide in a neon city of crime.
Loyalty is messy. Attraction is dangerous.
And one mob boss’s final shot at redemption might cost him the only family he has left.
After retiring from his reign in Hell, Zyne tries to keep his head down in Baratrum City's demonic underworld.
He swore he'd never build another empire. Then he formed the Otherworlders – a reckless gang built from his newest apprentice and the city’s cheapest hires.
The gang treats crime like a thrill, unaware of the guilt tied to Zyne's name and the consequences waiting in his shadow.
As the city closes in, the Otherworlders confront what it really means to follow a legend carved in blood.
Zyne must decide whether he becomes a monster again… or the father his apprentice needs.
This isn’t just about taking back a city. It’s about deciding who you are in it.
Crimes. Demons. A hellbound mob boss trying to do one last good thing.
But the hellbound can't always be redeemed.
