HellWake

HellWake is a dark action platformer for the classic Game Boy, mixing gothic storytelling with tight, retro-inspired gameplay.

You play as Torin, the cursed son of a witch and a demon. Betrayed, tortured and mutilated, he rises with the severed arms of a fallen demon fused to his body. A living weapon on a path of vengeance.

Fight through corrupted cathedrals, forgotten villages and hellish sanctuaries in search of Kael, the father who tried to sacrifice you. Wield demonic powers, face ruthless inquisitors and twisted creatures, and uncover the truth behind your bloodline.

Created by Geralf, a Brazilian illustrator and solo developer based in São Paulo (and yeah, that’s me). I built HellWake as a passion project to bring back the raw energy of classic Game Boy titles, mixing my love for gothic art, brutal stories, and retro gaming. This is my tribute to the games that raised me, like Castlevania, and I hope it burns into your memory like it did in mine. 

Playable on real Game Boy hardware (physical edition coming soon).
