I'm not really a fan of the Hellraiser franchise, but this game piqued my interest and made me want to revisit the original movie. And that's even though the game itself is a brief retelling of it from the start! In fact, it's like a free sequel in the form of a short text-based adventure game.
The best part is that it doesn't take too long to play. The whole point is to find all 23 different endings. Yeah, most of them are "game over ends", but you get right back to the decision point right after, so it doesn't get annoying. The porn content isn't bad, and the interface could be better. But if you treat the project not as a serious indie game, but as a free minute-long entertainment, then the impressions are very good.
The downside, unfortunately, is the same as with JugSAW - there's a massive lack of music. But I took the story more seriously this time, unlike with JugSAW, so I can't really give it more than 3 stars. I just feel like the game is a bit late. If it had been released in 2020 or 2021, it might've been worth 4 stars, but right now, the interface and audio are a bit flawed. If those issues were fixed, I'd definitely reconsider my rating.
