Hell does not burn in chaos. It operates.
In A Matter of Pain, you oversee a vast, institutional complex dedicated to the systematic processing of the damned. Souls arrive bearing guilt. Your task is not rage, nor cruelty for spectacle, but administration.
Order must be imposed. Suffering must be measured. Pain must be made productive.
An Infernal Institution
Design and expand your domain. Construct torture chambers, research offices, dormitories, vanity halls, infernal workshops, and more.
Souls Are Resources
Each soul arrives with distinct sins, temperaments, and thresholds of endurance. Some collapse under pressure. Others resist correction.
Classify them. Route them. Assign them to appropriate torture cycles.
Extract Dolor, the refined currency of torment, and use it to expand your institutional capabilities.
Demons as Specialists
Your workforce consists of demonic administrators, engineers, and scholars of pain. Assign them carefully and maintain strict operational discipline. Poor planning invites systemic failure.
Hell runs on structure.
Research and Procedural Advancement
Develop new devices. Unlock new processing methods. Refine architectural layouts. Expand your authority.
Progress follows procedure.
