Here's a meaty, in-depth piece on the inspirations behind our indie game #EyesofHellfire and also how completely wild some of the stories were about the Hellfire Club. Quelle horreur!!

There are many absolutely true and bonkers stories about the original members that include:

- engaging in public duels
- outbursts of blasphemy so shocking that arrests were made
- dressing up as priests to carry out high-stakes con-jobs and setting servants on fire!

We're releasing Eyes of Hellfire in early access this week.

To quiet the internal screaming of "OMGITSNOTREADYTHEBUGSTHEBUGS!!" I've been looking back at the progress of development. Here's the first video of a playable prototype I have saved, from Oct '23.

A lot has changed but the core is there
