Take a deep breath and brew that third cup of complimentary coffee, as today Unhinged Studios launches the demo for its satirical narrative roguelike deckbuilder, dev_hell. The final interview round is here, and soon players can relax and enjoy the benefits of landing the job of their dreams… Even with the brief glimpse offered through the interview process though, something feels slightly off about this company. It could be nothing… besides, the benefits are way too good to pass up. How bad could it actually be?

About dev_hell
Launching on PC via Steam in 2024, players will attempt to meet unrealistic expectations, complete code for ill-defined features, and navigate working for a company that pushes the good-natured and not at all malicious idea that it’s “reshaping the future.”
Embark on a journey as a freshly recruited software developer who has secured a position at a groundbreaking tech startup with ambitions to revolutionize the world. The question is: Is the change for the better? Unsurprisingly, this company seems like it might be hiding something sinister beneath the veneer of motivational posters and free coffee mugs. Who is this mysterious client, and why do some of the commissioned applications seem so…insidious? Well, never mind — software developers are expected to code, so code they shall.
Don’t. Question. It.
The demo for dev_hell is available now on PC via Steam.
About Unhinged Studios
Unhinged Studios formed in the midst of 2020 when two art-school-dropout-turned-software-developers met and discovered they shared a dream of creating immersive video games. Since then, Don Westendorp and Del Sharratt have assembled a team of like-minded devs interested in helping bring that vision to life.
With their collective decades of software experience, they’ve decided for their first title to write about what they know: the asinine yet dominating culture of the tech industry and how one survives it. In dev_hell, players step into the shoes of a newly hired developer who must meet business expectations or face the consequences.
