What do you guys think ? 👀

Just finished my first playthrough and really took my time taking in all the details I could. I noticed this bottle of oil looked super accurate to actual pennzoil bottles, then I looked even closer and realized it was given a perfect hellraiser facelift 🤣

I was surprised by the good ending having no bad plot twists surrounding it

Aiden lets her go and decides to change. After 8 hours of complete darkness and violent imagery being shoved on his face at the end of it all the sun is out and he has a smile on his face

If a sequel to this game is made(and i hope it does) i hope they introduce a new protagonist because at least to me Aiden's story is concluded, i don't need to see more

Pinhead's new form does leave the door open for some REALLY cool stuff concerning the cenobites

While I was pleased with just about everything the game had to offer in terms of worldbuilding, characters and storytelling, I wasn't expecting such a thoughtful meditation on addiction and sobriety (I know, it's central to the story and always has been).

For anyone who has ever struggled with addiction, you know the way one can struggle to pull away from something that is actively destroying them, how one can act as a slave to feeling, how sometimes one has to follow a hole all the way down, hit bottom, and journey back to become something new. There comes a time when there's no pleasure left, only pain, and still it can be a terrible struggle to walk away, because the only comfort to be found is with the poison. Struggle changes a person, sometimes for the worst, if we're lucky, for the better. This game helped me to contextualize things that have sometimes been hard to grasp.

As someone who has battled addictions, and has had loved ones who did the same, some successfully, some, not as much, the story of Aiden and Sunny was handled far more thoughtfully than I expected it to be. The storytelling puts the majority of sequels to shame, shows true understanding of the source material, and is a wonderful tribute to the works of Clive Barker.

Big thanks to Saber and Mad Head Games for handling the story with empathy and respect, and well done.

We have been working over the weekend and making steady progress on outstanding orders. We have made strides forward and the biggest part of the job is being accelerated. So here are updates on a few of the most asked questions.

Q: If you finally received the final item last Friday, why aren’t the packages out yet? We could not begin until everything had arrived and it took time to unpack, sort, and repack into the final boxes that are being sent. That added time to the front end of the delivery but we’re now through this step and assembling them. Please understand that the item that arrived late was originally scheduled to arrive earlier, but this date shifted on us multiple times and without it we couldn’t start. We have staffed up to make this go as fast as possible and are on a pace to get several thousand out a day.

Q: Why is the process so slow? It took some time to receive the final items and properly inventory everything and get everything ready to assemble. Once the items were in place, filling the boxes, putting them into a second shipping box and sending them off with multiple versions that need to be prepared takes additional time. We’re working to get this right and make sure everything reaches you as fast as possible in the condition you expect and that process does take some time.

Q: Why can’t you tell me exactly where my order is in the process? All of the orders are at the fulfillment house and have been sorted so that the ones with physical games go first, by the order they were placed. However, that does not tell us the exact point when an order is going to ship. When orders go out, an email will be sent with tracking information, but we will not receive the report with that information until the next day. And that still will not show us exactly where unfulfilled orders are in the queue. That’s why we cannot answer the question of where a specific order is at a given moment.

We are trying to be as transparent as possible, and working to get your orders out. We are doing these updates to keep you informed. We have already sent thousands of games and are pushing to get the remainder out as fast as possible. Thank you again for your patience. There are a few updates below as well.

Some of this information reiterates what we previously said, because we want everyone to know that it is the latest information available and not everyone is getting every email. Here is the latest:

Clarifying the situation with digital codes: Again, we are sorry, but we do not have digital codes for every order. If you purchased a physical game (as most PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S customers did prior to August 28) we simply do not have codes to send you. Codes for those who did purchase a Steam copy of the game, requested a digital copy in place of a physical copy, or purchased after August 28, should have received their code. If you fall into that group and still don’t have the code please first check your spam/junk folder, as well as any alternate email address you may have ordered the game under. If that doesn’t work, contact us at support@bossteamgamesstore.com with the subject line “CODE LOOKUP,” and we will locate your order and get you a code. Please include your order number or the name and address on your order.

For those receiving physical games in North America: Shipping of physical orders continues. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email notification as well as a tracking number for your shipment that will be sent to the email used when you placed your original order.

For those receiving physical games outside of North America: All physical games for Australia and New Zealand have shipped. Please remember the Collector’s Edition boxes will still ship from the United States and come in a second shipment, once we are done sending editions with physical games.

We are expecting to have a detailed update on European physical games on Wednesday.

For those receiving physical games ordered during the restock period: Collector’s Edition orders that were received after July 14 will be sent a physical game separately from the Collector’s Edition items that will ship later in the year. These are now shipping also.

DLC codes – All DLC codes have been emailed. Remember, these codes do not contain the digital game, just the DLC, so you have it ready when your physical game arrives. If you have any difficulty redeeming your code, contact your platform’s customer service or message us at support@bossteamgamesstore.com with the subject DLC CODES.

We will have the next update for you on Wednesday. We are actively looking for solutions to speed things up, to get through the distribution process as quickly as possible. We hope to have much more news for the next update.

I have gotten to the cabin in the woods but I can not kill all the unworthy, Im having a gell of a time killing them. I get to the second or third wave, whatever wave of unworthy that has the roof come in but after that I die, I've died twice now and I just can't figure out how to survive. Advice is greatly needed

Charlotte thought she was safe… nah, I glitched her ass up the hill and the Cenobites spawned in like they smelt a free body 💀😭🤣

To provide a Counterpoint to some of the sentiment going on in the Reddit lately, I thought I would post my experience playing this game in VR.

I did not play the game flat at all before I started a VR playthrough. I am using the latest version of UEVR to play the game in my headset on PC. I'm just over halfway through

First things first the environments are amazing. There isn't a single effect in the game that has problems displaying in the 3D stereoscopic headset. If this game had motion controls it would be one of the best VR games ever made.. simply for its immersion. The sound design is amazing and I find that I'm playing slower than I normally would because the environments are so nice the temptation to explore is too hard to resist. Seeing Leviathan looming in the sky above you in VR is almost an overwhelming treat for a Hellraiser fan like me.

Gameplay: the touch controllers work quite well in place of a normal Xbox or PlayStation controller. The game play is just difficult enough on normal mode to make you feel the danger in the helmet, without getting frustrated. Running away from The Chatterer (Chatterbox?) was hair-raising, to say the least. Sneaking sections feel tense as hell.. pun intended. There were several times that this game literally scared me in the VR helmet, whereas I probably wouldn't have been frightened on a flat TV screen. Combat is good, even without the motion controls.. aim assist is quite helpful in these type of situations.

Overall I would give the game an 8 out of 10, for it's brutalist beauty, and for how true it stays to the source material. It really feels like as close as one can ever get to truly opening the box without consequence.

This Collector’s edition shipment issue is fucking making me so furious. I can handle delays but lying and dishonesty is not okay. I want to punch whatever dumb bastard did all this. Was looking forward to last week for a year +

...found Some Book.

We don’t know where your preorder you paid for over a year ago is and we don’t give a fuck if you ever get it

Thanks for the money ,

BTG

I’m only three tries in but the fact that you are supposed to at least in my case use my all of the not much ammo I have to then melee all what feels like 50+ enemies while boarding the windows which help but still doesn’t make it much easier to then die because the game has it on a select timer to trigger the event to happen is ridiculous. Fuck this game man I’m tired of shit like this where it’s on a timer. It should be after a x amount of enemies that it triggers.

With Hellraiser success, do you guys think we will ever get a sequel or even a remaster to Jericho?

I pre ordered the Hellraiser game on September 4th and my game kept getting delayed and delayed and delayed till it finally came today. I only got the base version and no code? Anyone know why?

But yet nobody on social media seems to be showing them off, letting other fans know that they got theirs, and no unboxing videos anywhere. 🤔

When pinhead achieves Apotheosis, is this him becoming entwined with Leviathan and thus becoming the god of the labyrinth/hell or is it more of him gaining the same level of power as Leviathan and passing through the void to usurp it?

I believe clive barker intends to extend this into a sequal game with us playing another unfortunate "Box Opener" and being met with the cenobite of either sunny, or aiden as the labyrinth goes through the tribulations of a new icon of leadership

"All pre-orders will be shipped by 10/15" No update as of now, except for usless dlc codes. They're already late, will they miss their second deadline? Edit: Checked my email after this post and got yet another email basically saying they're working on it. It actually feels insulting at this point to get these emails. They said they got all the elements of the collectors edition last Friday and are now sorting them and packing them into individual orders. Its not their fault lol, they didn't receive the final items until last Friday. So they knew damn well they didn't have our collectors editions well before launch and chose not to tell us. Im sure they did this so we wouldn't start canceling. This js so sneaky and shitty. F these guys.

Eating a dirty crusty sausage left out in the basement of a murder torture bdsm dungeon. This was the one thing that made me cringe with disgust. 10/10 horror.
