Hellpoint Lore

Story and Setting

The game is set in the aftermath of a massive quantum cataclysm called the Merge. In the blink of a second, every living being quickly lost their mind as their memories and bodies were merged with alternate versions of themselves from parallel universes. The accident also attracted entities of immense power that should have been left alone, in the depths of other dimensions.

You play as a mysterious, nameless character called the "Spawn" whose intentions are entirely determined by your choices. You wake up in the derelict Irid Novo space station, in orbit around a super-massive black hole.

As you advance thorugh the station, small pieces of information will begin to unveil as you read computer data and talk to various NPCs.

The Author

Soon after the beggining of the game you'll learn that you were created by The Author to gather data and help to save the station. He will tell you that after the Merge everything has been corrupted and that he is sick.

Later into the game, you'll find that The Author is in fact a polemic Massive A.I. project conducted by the directives of the Irid Novo Station. The objective of The Author is to gather data of all parallel universe to acquire the ultimate sapiens and be able to become a god and fix humanity problems, no matter the cost that this might take. At the end of the game the player will be able to decide if he wants to surrender the data or if he wants to stop The Author and fight him.

Ministry of the Union & Cosmic Gods

The Ministry of the Union is in charge of the rituals being performed at the Irid Novo Station. Its main goal is to gather enough information from the Gods and the Parallel univrse to become Gods themselves. In order to do so, they want to corrupt the Author. They conjured the Cosmic Gods: Undisturbed Defas Nemundis, Ozyormy Goija, the Master of Puppets and Uthos the Ashen Born. They also created the Spawns to gather and provide the information directly to the Author.

The Ministry does not care about the million deaths caused by the rituals and think that when they become gods everyone will have their right place in the new world.

Prodigal Spawn

The Prodigal spawn is a mysterious character that seems to be a Spawn just like you (During the Complete True Ending, he tells you that he was born in the station just like you). He has become rogue and has his own plans for the station. He will ask you to ally with him and perform an evil ritual at Alma Mater. During the True Endings, you can see him fight alongside Sentient.

Just like you, the Prodigal Spawn seems to be able to retain his memories and thoughts after traveling to parallel realites and universes. During the Complete True Ending, he tells you that he thinks that with time, you'll start thinking as he does.

Documents

Various documents, writings and logs can be found throughout Irid Novo, that illuminate what has happened on the station.
