Greetings sinners!

Thank you to everyone who has stepped into Hell's Bells so far. Development is continuing on the full version, with a focus on expanding each path and refining the overall experience.

This update is part of that ongoing development. The content shown here is not yet available to play, and the current demo remains unchanged.

If you haven't tried it yet, the demo is still live and ready!

Update overview:

Work on the Reliquary is continuing.

New rituals, scenes, and interactions are being built out for the full release, each tying more closely to player choice and progression.

💎 Mercy's New Ritual:

A new ritual has been added for Mercy.

Drawn further into the Reliquary, you are presented with a mysterious prism surrounded by three dormant lights. Their purpose is never explained. Only that they must be brought into alignment.

The interaction focuses on observation and deduction. By carefully manipulating each light, you must discover the correct arrangement to awaken the prism and reveal what has remained hidden.

There is no time limit and no penalty for experimentation. Only the challenge of seeing what others might overlook.
