Exile-like roguelike ARPG Hell Clock receives a playable demo at The Future Games Show

If you are stuck for something to play this week, fear not, as a bunch of fun-looking demos just landed during last night’s Future Game Show.

The Scottish folklore-inspired deckbuilder Into the Restless Ruins received a playable teaser, and so did Hell Clock, an Exile-like roguelike ARPG from Brazilian indie studio Rogue Snail.

Hell Clock is described as a relentless and fast-paced indie game that combines roguelike and ARPG mechanics. It allows players to forge powerful builds with endless loot, as they blast through dungeons and unleash powers both demonic and divine.

The game also takes players back to old settlement of Canudos in Brazil’s northeastern state of Bahia. This is said to be one of the country’s most bloody chapters, where the newly formed Brazilian Republic massacred 25,000 men, women, and children for their political and religious beliefs – pretty gruesome stuff!

Hell Clock is planned to launch on PC (via Steam) in summer 2025. You can take a look at its shiny new demo trailer below:
