How co-op works
Up to five online players explore the lodge with individual curses, altered perceptions, and action-card hands. The team must escape and defeat the AI-controlled Antagonist while each player also completes a hidden objective, using proximity chat to share clues and combine abilities.
About this game

It delivers asymmetric co-op with a paranoia edge.

The game revolves around strategic decision-making, communication, and teamwork under pressure. Survivors must decipher clues, manage resources, and outmaneuver the Host's tricks, while the Host exploits doubt and misdirection. The dynamic shifts every session depending on who controls the shadows.
Eyes of Hellfire supports online co-op on Windows and Mac. Sessions demand constant voice communication and trust, as the Host's ability to distort what players see makes every choice feel uncertain. It is built for groups ready to collaborate closely and second-guess everything.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Host role work in co-op?
One player takes the role of the Host, an adversarial force that can manipulate reality and perception for the other players. The Host uses tricks, misdirection, and environmental control to challenge the survivors, creating an asymmetric co-op experience where one person plays against the group.
Is voice chat necessary to play this game?
Yes, voice communication is essential. The game is designed around constant teamwork, strategy discussion, and managing the paranoia created by the Host's reality-warping abilities. Without voice chat, coordinating effectively would be extremely difficult.
Can I play this solo or does it require other people?
Eyes of Hellfire is designed specifically for multiplayer co-op sessions with one Host and multiple survivors. It's not a solo experience-the core gameplay relies on the tension between the Host player and the survivor team.
Is the game fully released or still in development?
Eyes of Hellfire is currently in Early Access, with a planned full release in August 2025. Expect ongoing updates and changes as development continues.
