NineHells

NineHells launched on November 8, 2024 as a psychological horror game from solo developer caffeineline. The developer has maintained consistent engagement with the game through 2026, delivering a series of patches and feature additions including audio controls, improved movement, enemy AI activation, objective clarity improvements, updated maps, crash fixes, and an achievements system. On August 4, 2026, the developer posted that their other game Ragebait is releasing on August 12, 2026, and explicitly stated they plan to return to patching NineHells shortly after — listing specific items they intend to address, including loading screen improvements, door fixes, and other quality-of-life changes. They also invited community feedback on what else should be fixed or added. The very next day, August 5, 2026, the developer shipped a bug fix patch addressing walking mechanics and file pickups. The developer has described NineHells as a passion project they are committed to continuing, and there is no indication that development is wrapping up. The most recent communication is from August 5, 2026, the same day as today's date, confirming the developer is actively engaged. A released Chapter 2 DLC is also listed on the store.
