Hellpoint The Thespian Feast 04

This is a standalone story in Hellpoint universe, a dark and challenging action RPG set in the world where the line between science and occultism is blurred. The Thespian Feast tells the story of an investigator arriving at Irid Novo station 50 years after the Hellpoint events.

Many decades after the incident, someone finally manages to reach the forsaken space colony of Irid Novo. What the investigator finds, defies any form of reason, but a morbid obsession pushes him forward. If death doesn’t come first, insanity will surely have the better of him.

In their press release the Creative Director at Cradle Games Matt Boudreau explains that this chapter stems from the very first demo that was released four years ago. That demo has a number of Thespian demons, a horrible race of  monsters that feast on blood. While this chapter is inspired by that demo, Thespian Feast features new enemies and a fearsome new boss. There is also split-screen co-op if you rather take on these creatures with a friend.

According to an article bywccftech, the publisher tinyBuild commented on whether this chapter will come to more platforms. They said it was an experiment to see how players will react to this game.
