Greetings sinners!
Another piece of the full Hell's Bells experience is taking shape.
Development continues across the Reliquary, with new rituals giving each sister more room to pull you into her own stories, trials, and desires.
The current demo remains unchanged, so everything shown below is a preview of content being developed for the full release.
If you haven't entered the halls of the cathedral just yet, the demo is still available to play!
Update overview:
Our latest work has focused on expanding Cruelle's path with another complete ritual.
This time, her trial leaves the familiar halls behind and takes you somewhere unexpectedly beautiful, though with Cruelle waiting at the end of it, beauty is rarely the whole story.
💍 Cruelle's New Ritual: The Bitten Veil
A wedding awaits you.
Following Cruelle into a secluded vineyard, you find the grounds prepared for a ceremony that seemingly has only one possible ending. Rows of empty seats line the aisle, the sun hangs low over the vines, and beneath a flower-covered arch, Cruelle waits dressed as your bride.
But reaching the altar is not enough.
Before you can make your vows, Cruelle puts your devotion to the test. Among a procession of veiled brides, you must remember which one is truly her. Each round gives you less time to study the figures before they disappear from view, leaving you to choose from memory.
Mistake another woman for Cruelle and the ceremony comes to an abrupt end.
Prove that you can recognise her no matter how little time she gives you, and she will finally allow you to join her beneath the arch.
What begins as a test of observation slowly reveals something more personal. The vineyard, the dress, the ring and even the ceremony itself offer another glimpse into Cruelle beyond the woman who commands the Reliquary.
For once, she is not asking whether you can obey her.
She wants to know whether you would still choose her.
