A broken man. A dying city. One last chance to decide what survives.
Welcome to HELLBOUND: a dark-comedy crime fantasy about legacy, found family, and what comes after surviving a broken world.
Years after the collapse of his own crime syndicate, a half-demon named Zyne is dragged out of retirement for one last job – a high-risk heist meant to dismantle the city’s most powerful gang leaders. With his old reputation as El Diablo looming over him, Zyne swears this time it'll be on his terms.
Backed by a crew of outcasts, Zyne navigates the underbelly of 2005's Baratrum City, a Californian nightlife district built on sin, survival, and bad decisions that won't stay buried. As his past resurfaces and long-ignored guilt claws its way forward, this "final job" becomes something else entirely: 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?

Lovely story, characters, and message! Great worldbuilding too, it was very fun to visit Baratrum City and meet everyone! (If you're interested in learning more, you may want to check my review on YouTube)
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
