Hellocracy

HELLOCRACY
Welcome to hell.
Take a ticket and wait to be called.

HELLOCRACY is a short, story-driven first-person survival shooter about a man who, after death, finds himself in a bureaucratic hell. Here, demons wear ties, the offices never end, and every new corridor smells of stale coffee and burnt-out employees.
The player must survive among endless departments, search for resources, craft items, read notes from fallen hellish workers, and try to figure out if escape is even possible.

The combat system is built around limited resources and aggressive enemies.
First-person shooting

Pistol with two firing modes

Dash for dodging

Fast enemies and long-range combat

Traps and resource management:
LMB - single shot;

RMB - empty entire magazine at once

Sometimes it's better to conserve ammo; sometimes it's too late.
To survive, you'll need to gather resources and use your inventory.
The player can:
Create bandages

Use buffs

Restore health

Increase damage

Temporarily increase stamina with coffee

Every item found can be useful later in the level.
Hell here operates like a huge, broken system.
The levels contain:
Traps

Toxic zones

Closed office sections

Loudspeakers with employee announcements

Lore through posters and notes

The story is told through the environment and comic inserts instead of cutscenes.
