Hell Online

Hell On-Line banner

Licensed by Threshold.com in November 2000, we are promised that this on-line game will start as a simple puzzle that users must solve each time they visit the website. Each move of the box will reveal a deeper clue and story element and when you solve it or open it, you don't necessarily win. Opening the box is "just the beginning of an on-line gaming experience unlike anything else on the web".
"The most terrifying game you will ever play" proclaims the headline banner... Hmmm, it seems the "will" in that is the important part as, several years after launch, there's still no sign of this game on its dedicated website.
Instead, there are currently available a couple of very basic games - Torment Trivia and Morbid Match - that have left visitors to its message board singularly unimpressed...

Morbid Match

Torment Trivia

"[My involvement?] None. I haven't even seen the game."
