HELLBOUND: REIGN OF EL DIABLO

A choice-driven neo-noir visual novel about crime, legacy, and the cost of loyalty.

Demons and gangsters collide in a neon city of crime, where loyalty is messy, attraction is dangerous, and one mob boss’s final shot at redemption might destroy everyone who follows him.

But the Hellbound can't always be redeemed.

When every sin gets written into the ledger, where does the fun end… and the fallout begin?

Retired mob boss Zyne is pulled back into the underworld of Baratrum City to reclaim California's 2005 demon district. He builds a crew that treats crime like a thrill, unaware of the guilt tied to his name and the consequences waiting in his shadow.

As the city closes in, the Otherworlders must confront what they inherit by following a legend carved in blood.

In a place where crime is routine, survival is currency, and chaos is part of the fun, Hellbound asks whether legacy is something you escape… or something you pass on.

I just finished it and I wept. The jokes are funny as hell, the characters at times fully feel alive and the story he had to tell is amazing. I loved every second. Will be looking forward to all of his future projects
