- A Look at What's Coming to HellSlave II 🔥 - 14 August 2026
HELL-o everyone,I've been reading your feedback since launch, all of it, and I wanted to talk to you directly. I'm one person making this game, so I can't reply to everything, but I promise I see it.

If they do, I'll keep you posted for sure!If you want to help shape the Balance Patch, come share your experience in the feedback post over on Discord. It genuinely makes a difference.💬 https://discord.gg/gz3TCBM97FThank you for playing, and for sticking with me. Let's keep making this game better together.~ Baptiste (solo dev)
