Discern the curse in Blumhouse's latest multiplayer horror game, Eyes of Hellfire, and opt to flee the lodge with companions, backstab them, or perish instead.
The horror game genre has been thriving lately, with hits like Lethal Company, REPO, and The Outlast Trials ruling the roost. But it's time to make room for Blumhouse Games' latest offering - Eyes of Hellfire. Announced during the PC Gaming Show 2025, this game promises to deliver a heart-pounding, suspenseful experience.
Eyes of Hellfire takes place in the Hellfire club, an eerie, abandoned gothic lodge. You and up to four friends must navigate this cursed location, solving puzzles, evading malicious entities, and dealing with shady allies.
Before you embark on your terrifying journey, you'll be granted a few cards at the start of each playthrough. These cards represent actions you can perform each turn, like lighting candles or searching rooms. As you progress through the game, you'll find better cards scattered around the map to aid you.
Every playable character also comes with a unique set of attributes, which could lead to them having a distinct experience and, perhaps, secret goals perfect for betraying friends. For instance, there's the Curse of the Thief card, which tasks you with stealing two cards from other players. You could be sneaky and swipe useless cards, or you could go for the gold with weapons and rare action cards - the choice is yours, but let's face it, the latter sounds more enticing.
Eyes of Hellfire primarily relies on proximity chat, meaning you can creep around undetected or eavesdrop on your friends as they conspire. But with so many ulterior motives in play, trust amongst the group will likely erode rapidly. As players will have to vote someone off periodically throughout the game, you can expect some intense discussions to ensue.
If you're thinking, "Another game where I'll get exposed for my lack of deception skills," fear not! Eyes of Hellfire shares some similarities with popular games like Werewolf or Among Us. However, with a bit of practice, you might finally have a chance to outwit your friends and claim victory.
Eyes of Hellfire is expected to release into Early Access on Steam in August 2025[1][2][3]. If you can't wait that long, there's a demo available now for you to test out and get a taste of the game's chilling atmosphere.
Dive into the thrilling adventure of Eyes of Hellfire and start planning your deceitful strategies today!
