High Hell is a fast-paced level-based FPS speedrunning game where you play as a woman trying to bring down an evil tyrant by sabotaging his business ventures in the upper roofs and penthouses of the game's urban hell. The game is cartoony if not basic looking but the makeup of the levels and visual signaling is well done. The soundtrack is very intense, industrial, aggressive electronica that pumps up the action...
