Hell: A Comedy of Errors

Baf's Guide

A potentially amusing game about creating tortures for damned souls, ruined by poor implementation of the central idea. This is basically a simulation in which you, the demon, are given various torture devices and the ability to create new rooms in the map, and are then rewarded for torturing souls by a certain number of Penance points. Unfortunately, there is very little feedback about why souls respond better to one torture than to another, which makes it hard to make any intelligent choices, or, really, to do anything other than select tortures at random and hope they'll be effective. Quite a pity, because some rather elegant coding must have gone into this piece.
