    You play as Dante, the heart-broken hero of the game. With Virgil as your guide, you embark on an adventure through the circles of Hell facing fire pits, filth infested waters and frozen wastelands all in the name of love.

    Reach Beatrice before she gets condemned to hell for betraying her husband with you. Only from the clutches of Lucifer himself can you acquire the Thorn Ring and place it on Beatrice’s finger.
    But hurry! You only have a few hours left before her final judgment.

    Solve riddles, avoid enemies and pitfalls to finally find your love.

    The game is inspired by the Divine Comedy from Italian poet Dante Alighieri and comprises hours of fun.

    Dante's journey through the five circles of hell in The Inferno is a delight to any fast fingered player with an interest in classic literature. If you are looking for a slow puzzle game that lets you do things at your own pace The Inferno is not for you.

    Despite some aggravating flaws, The Inferno offers a lot of well-designed content that will keep you on your toes for hours.

    The Inferno is a hellacious grind for sure, whose fun factor starts to slip as the levels get longer & more repetitive, and as you start to rack up an astronomical number of deaths. It will appeal to your sadistic streak, providing you have one.

    A short but entirely enjoyable little top-down action game. The largely timing-based puzzles aren't too mentally taxing and keep the core of the gameplay at a fairly fast pace.

    While The Inferno's brand of fiendish maze-running possesses a stripped back, old-skool charm, clunky controls and poor animation place the game in a frustrating state of purgatory.
