[Hell is Empty] Demo
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Dreadnaught has been granted the Holiest of Tasks: destroy everything in his path until all he sees is in ruins.
However, upon finding a damaged robot named Miss Sunshine…something within him snaps.
And now only one who may be safe is Miss Sunshine.
[HAVE FUN 🎈]
—[From the two-person team behind Lap of the Gods: A Visual Novel]—
[YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED THE HOLIEST OF TASKS]
You are DREADNAUGHT, a hulking monstrosity meant to break whatever he gets his hands on.
No one will stand in your way.
[No one can.]
Explore the vast labyrinth of THE PLAYGROUND, a sprawling megastructure of party-themed architecture.
Climb, jump, and bum-rush your way through its halls. You’re the monster here!
[YOU ARE AN INTERLOPER]
Not everyone who thrives in The Playground will be accepting of Dreadnaught’s presence…as if that will stop him!
[WHY ARE YOU HERE?]
Dreadnaught is as tight-lipped as he can be without any actual lips, and the only person he seems to like is Miss Sunshine, a damaged robot,,,,maybe she can peel back his layers a bit?
[RAZE THIS HELL]
Throw, stomp, and punch your way through literally thousands of enemies as a one-man army.

This is our second game, and we hope everyone enjoys it! This demo doesn't have a definitive "end," and it will be something I'll try updating and polishing over time. Things like dialogue, cinematics, and characters will receive different art down the line. But for now, this is a glimpse of how the game will play!
Other Demo 1.0 Notes:
-Wait a second if it lags between pressing "PLAY" and the game actually popping up; the loading screen still needs some tweaking!
-The game is best played with a gamepad! Keyboard controls should still work, however.
-I had trouble integrating it into the control scheme window for this first iteration, but grabbing uses [Either R or L Bumper] and throwing/aiming uses [Both L + R Bumpers + Y], and cameraZoom by [Pressing the R Analog Stick]!
-This is NOT final-- the demo will require polishing over time, but for now I'm happy that it gives an idea of what to expect!
-As of July 16th, Juno [an NPC] was added back in! I had trouble with her dialogue box appearing, but that's now been fixed!
-As of July 17th, ALL gamepads are supported now!
^^Further occlusion culling and LODs have been added for performance.

While the demo is now more easily played on PC/Windows, the first cutscene does not seem to be getting triggered. I will look into this further; in the original Unity build, the cutscene executes every time!The cutscene triggering apparently depends on your PC and the type of video configuration it has? The dialogue (for the specified cutscene) SHOULD play for everyone, but I apologize if the video itself only plays in the Mac version for now! But I will look into this as much as I can to make sure it runs flawlessly
Gamepads of all types should now work! All builds are being uploaded now
