Overview

Night of Revenge "HELLGATE: Descent Into Darkness" is a 2D dark fantasy RPG for players who want a harsh, systems-heavy adult action game rather than a straightforward platformer. The tone is grim and punishing, built around pressure and consequence rather than easy progression.

Story

The setting reworks the original game's world into a fractured territory where six factions fight for control. There is no single guided path forward; the world itself is the conflict, and survival depends on which side of it you end up on.

Gameplay

You move through a 2D side-scrolling battlefield shaped by faction warfare, resource scarcity, and a sanity system that alters how the game plays as your character's mental state deteriorates. Combat, stealth, and risk-taking around hostile territory all feed into your standing with the different factions, and losing fights or getting captured leads into the game's darker, forced encounters. Economic pressure pushes you into dangerous choices rather than safe grinding, and the further your sanity slips, the less stable your control over the run becomes.

Features

A faction-driven world where allegiances and reputation shift how areas behave
An insanity mechanic that warps gameplay as your character's psychological state declines
Dark fantasy horror atmosphere with monster and transformation elements
The original Night of Revenge game included alongside the reworked version

Installation

1. Extract and run.

Changelog

v1.2.5

DeepForest Mod
Added the latest version of DeepForest Mod.
Splash Options
New Options menu on the HellGate splash: Gore Content, Easy/Medium/Hard difficulty presets, Language, Done/Exit.
Difficulty copies both NoREroMod.cfg and NoREroMod_HellGate.cfg from BepInEx/config/{EASY|MEDIUM|HARD}/ (restart required).
Language can be changed later from Options (saves and quits; relaunch to apply).
Language/Gore preferences are preserved when switching difficulty.
Boot Tips & Tutorial Guide
Localized loading tips during startup hydrate, then an illustrated mute video guide (Back/Pause/Forward, Done → splash) in all 10 HellGate languages.
DeadArmor (SlaveBigAxe / OtherSlavebigAxe)
Breaking girl armor (NikuArmor) plays a PNG death clip + sound.
While armored, SlaveBigAxe grab-via-attack becomes a short hold + knockdown throw instead of an H-snap; after the armor breaks, normal grab/H return.
Gated by splash Gore Content (throw remains separately configurable).
MeatArmor / SlaveBigAxe H
Localized H-scene dialogue for SlaveBigAxe.
After the fade/game-over path, Aradia can swap into the armored MeatArmor walk patrol (camera follow, proper escape back to combat/H).
HellTraps
New lethal lightning button trap (lightningTrap_button): warning → strike VFX → lethal hit + CustomDeath clip if you stay on the button.
Same Gore gate as other lethal traps.
Gore Content
Splash toggle (General.EnableGoreContent) turns DeadArmor death clips and CustomDeath lethal traps on/off.
Difficulty Presets
Easy is much more forgiving (lower enemy/elite HP, generous QTE/struggle SP).
Medium/Hard remain the standard/hard HellGate pressure.
HP potion escape (allowPotionEasyEscape) enabled on all presets.
Shelter Attack trigger chance default set to 5%.
DeepForest Compatibility

MindBroken Bad End
Minimizing / Alt+Tab during the 100% countdown no longer dumps the whole pause into one frame (no instant Bad End on restore).
Factions / Spawn
Bandits ↔ mafia friendly; inquisition ≡ church alias; rescued hostages inherit |faction=.
Spawn lines X,Y,Key default count to 1; spawn/cache hardenings (trap_mokubaenemy from Prison, typo alias InchchurchSlave → InchurchSlave).
Combat / H Fixes
Struggle/QTE lockouts respect vanilla easy-escape and struggle level 10 (no forced 15s unlock).
Faction AI no longer void-punches during WallHip/trap H.
blackoozetypeb can re-arm after struggle escape.
Credits list refreshed.
