Ballistic Interactive's supernatural investigation RPG HellSign is a game that, regrettably, had completely slipped under my radar until it spirited into my inbox earlier today. Which is a shame because it sounds wonderful - and also happens to be heading to Steam Early Access on November 7th.
HellSign, formally known as Hellhunter until trademark issues arose earlier this year, first emerged in 2016 in the form of a Kickstarter campaign. Despite its immediately intriguing sleuthing-and-ghost-busting premise, it sadly only attracted around half of its 27,000 target - but Ballistic eventually raised the funds to continue development.
In HellSign, you take on the role of a freelance ghost hunter, set loose in a small but suspiciously well-haunted Australian town. From there, you can scan the map in search of spooky locations to explore, each one (it sounds like these are uniquely generated with each attempt) offering a contract to deal with a particular paranormal manifestation.
