About Hellkind

Trapped in the misty sanctuary of San Andrés de Teixido, you awaken to whispers of an ancient cult and their unholy rite. As the veil between worlds begins to fray, explore, solve puzzles, and escape - before you become part of the ritual.

In a mist-shrouded village of Galicia, ancient shadows stir as whispers of A Irmandade da Compaña echo once more. Long thought lost to time, the cult of the dead has resurfaced, gathering in the sanctuary of San Andrés de Teixido to summon something evil. Their ritual nears completion, and with it, the boundary between the living and the dead begins to fray. The ritual remains incomplete, for only a witch can seal the final act of summoning. Until today, they had none. But that is about to change.You wake in darkness, the air thick with an eerie presence. Something stirs - something that should have remained buried.

Hellkind is a short and immersive experience inspired by the folklore and atmosphere of Galicia and Spain - blends exploration, light puzzle solving, all set against a backdrop of ancient religious rituals and forbidden knowledge. As players navigate the eerie sanctuary and its shadowed corners, they will feel the weight of claustrophobic tension, with unseen horrors lurking just beyond the veil of reality.With its forgotten cults, spectral processions, and the ever-present temptation of religion, the game weaves elements of supernatural horror and mystery into a chilling experience. Every step feels like a step toward salvation, pushing them closer to unraveling the cult’s dark intentions.

A tiny test of what this developer is capable of. Galician folklore with a very grounded visual identity. A real gem. Waiting for the big one. The tone is set here.

I don't even know what the hell did I just play but I want more. I love everything about this game. Especially the sound design. Oh my God, audio of this game made me feels like I was listening to high budget audiobook or something. And I'm not too familiar with Galicia and their rituals. But this game made me want to know more about it. If anyone's reading this, do you know any game/media that would explore and shows this aspect more? I want to know more about it.

Short but sweet horror. It took me a minute to get used to the perspective, but once I was used to it, I had no issue with it. It's a simple collect-the-items game, with a little added push-chair-out-of-the way flavour, but it has good atmosphere and I liked the little bit of story we got. You do move slow, as people pointed out, but that's just a part of the immersion, especially as there are various creepy sounds about, so the developer doesn't want you dashing past things. Recommended.

short but with impeccable attention to detail; visually and aurally beautiful... disturbing, yet beautiful.

A very atmospheric short horror game. I love a good dither artstyle!

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Dragon Age 2: one city, ten years, three acts

Games like Dragon Age 2 are hard to find because almost no RPG keeps you in one city while it rots. These come close, from Neketaka to the streets of Serene.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
