Evaluation

Eyes of Hellfire launched into Early Access on August 27, 2025, and received a steady stream of updates through the end of 2025 — including three major content drops: the Shifting Lodge Update (October 27, 2025), the Terror for Two Update (December 18, 2025), and various feature patches adding save states, new illusions, and gameplay refinements. However, on May 22, 2026, the developer posted an explicit statement confirming that publisher Blumhouse Games has decided to wind down development. The post states directly: "there will be no more additional content released for the game." The game will remain available on Steam, but no further updates or content are coming. This means Eyes of Hellfire is still technically in Early Access — it was never given a 1.0 launch — but development has ended. Players should be aware that the game will not receive the additional characters, languages, and content drops that were originally promised in the August 2025 Early Access roadmap.

About this game

Step into the shadowed halls of the Hellfire Club, where something, or someone, is always lying... Eyes of Hellfire is a richly atmospheric gothic horror cooperative game that plunges you and up to 4 of your friends into a cursed lodge. The game is based on real Irish legends of the secret society known as the Hellfire Club, resulting in a scenario filled with secrets, monsters, and a creeping sense of dread.

Each player harbours a hidden curse, twisting their abilities and motives, as they explore the ever-shifting rooms of the lodge. With a dynamic card-management system that changes turn by turn, you'll need to strategise carefully, share discoveries, and combine your strengths to solve cryptic puzzles, uncover unsettling lore, and survive the escalating threats that roam the manor.

But beware, the Host is always watching. This manipulative entity plays with reality itself, distorting what players perceive, trust, and believe. As paranoia sets in, will your group stay united long enough to escape? Or will the lodge claim you all?

With its blend of narrative-driven exploration, clever puzzles, and escalating tension, Eyes of Hellfire is perfect for fans of cooperative horror games like Arkham Horror, Betrayal at House on the Hill, and Mansions of Madness.

You and your friends play as a small group of unfortunate people who have recently discovered that they have each become a victim of a potentially fatal curse. They have hiked through the thick woods of the Dublin mountains and travelled to the ruins of the Hellfire Club in the hopes of discovering what connects them to this place and what, or who, has brought this curse upon them all.

You and your team have a common goal of escaping the haunted lodge while also defeating the Antagonist. But you each also have hidden solo objectives. Which will you prioritize? You must succeed at both to win. Use proximity voice chat to plot together with teammates, as well as question their motives.

Choose from a variety of characters, with their own strengths, weaknesses, and goals. Your choice will impact what you see in each play session; you’ll have to decide if it’s real or not.

Build your hand of actions: Each playthrough you start with a hand of cards that equal actions that can be done each turn, limited by your action points. As you explore the lodge, you’ll discover new and better action cards to alter your playthrough.
