Hellpoint is a sci-fi action RPG game that takes place on the Irid Novo space station, orbiting around a super-massive black hole. The game follows a mysterious nameless character whose intentions are determined by the player's choices. The station orbits the black hole in real-time, and its position affects the sanity of the inhabitants. The game is based on a peculiar structure called the Quantic System, which utilizes a server clock to decide when and where a particular dynamic event should occur.

In Hellpoint, the black hole is truly the master of the dungeon, and it has attracted entities of immense power that should have been left alone in the depths of other dimensions. The game supports split-screen co-op and player versus player on all platforms, and players can craft long-forgotten weapons and armors and acquire forbidden powers. The more players fight with a weapon, the more they become proficient with it and eventually unlock powerful abilities. Every time players start a new game, the station is different, and the game stays fresh as players never know what to expect around the corner.
