Introducing: Main character

"It seeps into the void. Conquers it, ignites. Suddenly, zero becomes one. Black turns red, matter becomes life. A universe is born in anguish, in fear. A child: gasping, struggling, cold. Clean."



You are a Spawn: a 3D-printed organism, an artificial human being. You were granted a life, yet not a consciousness, by your creators. With a blank mind, you venture through Irid Novo, an ancient asteroid mining facility turned into a space station, seeking answers. Why are you here? What is your purpose?

"Your hand reaches. Time dehisces, unfolding an incomprehensible chasm. The wound that bleeds space dust. Maimed cosmos laments silently, writhing in agony."



In Hellpoint, breaches are tears in the very fabric of time and space that interconnect parallel universes. When your Spawn stabilizes them, it allows you to level up, travel between breaches, consume gathered resources, alter enemy difficulty / loot grade and save your progress. Upon demise, you respawn at the latest breach you connected to.

“Your blood runs cold. Your hand is bound to cleanse. Under the rain of gore and guts, you dance—a child in time, a soldier in space.”



Irid Novo is crawling with horrid hostile abominations that used to be humans. To push forward, Spawn has no other choice other than to put them away. By mastering your basic combat abilities like swordplay, shooting, dodging and blocking, you will be able to defeat tougher foes.


⚫

“What are you? An experiment that went awry? God’s forgotten toy lost in the wreck? Or a perfect organism?”



Slain enemies emit axions that can be spent to upgrade your character. There are 8 different skills to level up: from health to overall strength to foresight. As you master your skills, your Spawn will gain greater stats, such as damage, radiation resistance and energy reserve which is used for ranged weapons.
