Hellscreen, a Doom-like FPS featuring a rear-view mirror mechanic, launched version 1.0 after two years of silence in early access. Developer Jamie D cut the game from three planned episodes to one due to budget constraints and lack of external funding, but reframed it as a complete smaller experience. The game features exploration, soul-collecting progression, and unique backward-firing combat.
