HELLBOUND
A downloadable game about demonhood for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Welcome to HELLBOUND! A black comedy crime game set in the neon-stained slums of Baratrum City.
Years after the fall of his own crime syndicate, a half-demon named Zyne comes out of retirement for one last job, a heist meant to take down the city’s biggest gang leaders. With his old reputation as El Diablo looming over him, Zyne swears this time it’s on his terms.
But nothing ever goes to plan.
With a crew of outcasts and monsters at his back– each with their own ghosts– Zyne leads high-stakes missions through a city built on sin and survival. As his past resurfaces and buried guilt claws its way forward, this "final job" becomes a reckoning. One that asks: can a man made of masks ever reveal what’s real? And if he does… will anything be left of him?
HELLBOUND is a dark, stylish tale of crime, identity, and chosen family– about queerness, anger, grief, and what it means to rebuild yourself when the world’s already written your story for you. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always personal.
Includes over 100 original in-game backgrounds and illustrations, the full downloadable HELLBOUND soundtrack, downloadable concept art + behind-the-scenes sketches, along with a downloadable demon lore / worldbuilding PDF!
Disclaimer: HELLBOUND is a fictional work intended for mature audiences. It contains depictions of violence, substance use, addiction, and explores complex themes including trauma, identity, queerness, and masculinity. All characters, artwork, and writing are created and owned by SodaFrizz.

YAHOO!! GAME DONE!! :D
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
