Description

True Inferno is a city-building game set in the authentic Hell: an extradimensional industrial complex where Evil is extracted from souls and refined. Malevolent deities from different myths manage their own piece of Hell in an eternal dispute of power. Taking the role of a rookie god, the player will join them in a cutthroat competition for becoming the new Boss.

As a city-building game, it focuses on the creation, management and improvement of our industrial facility. However, gameplay is shorter and slightly faster paced than usual, emphasising the tension and rivalry of the competition. In addition, events, sabotages and some other situations will occur constantly, forcing us to think fast and make difficult choices on the spot.
