What to Expect

Players form a caravan and progress through nine chapters, each representing a circle of Hell, alternating exploration and three-dimensional tactical combat. The game mixes modular boards, grid movement and narrative choice/paragraph moments with scenario-driven campaign structure. You can play a Quick Combat mode to jump straight into battles or the full Campaign to experience the story.

Who Is This Game For?

Aimed at experienced gamers (ages 14+) who enjoy campaign-driven co-op and tactical miniatures. With a reference duration of 120 minutes, it suits groups and solo players looking for an extended, narrative-heavy session.

How It Works

Movement and positioning use Grid Movement and Three-Dimensional Movement across modular boards, while Resource to Move and Hand Management govern actions. Combat relies on Dice Rolling within Battle/Card-driven scenarios, and Variable Player Powers plus Role Playing define distinct character roles. The Campaign / Scenario framework ties progress through the nine levels together.
