"Irid Novo is a success. The faith you vested in us will soon be rewarded as you take your rightful place in the new world."


You find yourself on a gigantic advanced space colony only to discover that you are the only being left. Only sane being, to be precise. The colony is crawling with hostile abominations driven by one instinct: to hurt. What is going on?

"They called us insane. They called us evil. But to end the suffering in this world, a bold vision was required."


A few decades ago, human race and the Arisen civilization formed the First Interstellar Alliance. With wars being a thing of the past, this enterprise was to discover the secrets to the greatest mystery of the Universe: a soul. Humans possessed the technology to travel through parallel universes, the Arisen were highly advanced in the field of artificial intelligence. By sharing their respective knowledge on the Irid Novo space station, they expected to create an artificial soul, a conscious AI, bringing forth the most advanced technology of them all.

However, it didn’t work as planned.

Many theories are circulating: technological error, sabotage, even divine intervention. Yet the real cause remains unknown. What is the true secret of Irid Novo?


⚫



“We must leave it to the Gods, lest the Gods leave us.”


Station AI, The Authority, is still on a mission to complete the soul creating experiment. Left to its fate by man, it has developed a plan of its own. Yes, Spawn, we are talking about you.

Hello gamers!

I've not been posting much to our publisher page because cross-posting is currently very wonky, so it's been mostly to individual pages of games.

This weekend we're hosting a full on orange Carnival at PAXSouth, featuring lots and lots of games!


Secret Neighbor is getting a full on booth, so come over to say hi and show the game to your friends.

I believe Black Skylands has best in class pixelart, and gameplay to match. The newest demo takes you on a journey through gorgeous floating islands filled with things that want you dead.

Aside from actual games we have a whole setup for fun family friendly activities, featuring merch you can win.

We conducted successful Alpha and Beta testing campaigns, spent thousands of hours polishing the game and fixing issues. But with the release in our sights, the first quarter of 2020 will be even bigger for us as we plan on kicking things off with PAX South presentation. Expect major news.

PAX South festival will take place in San Antonio, TX from 17 to 19 January. If you have a chance to visit the event, drop by to play the latest Hellpoint version in the huge orange tinyBuild booth.

We were lucky to spend this year with you guys. Cradle Games wish you the Happiest of Holidays.

Love,

"It seeps into the void. Conquers it, ignites. Suddenly, zero becomes one. Black turns red, matter becomes life. A universe is born in anguish, in fear. A child: gasping, struggling, cold. Clean."



You are a Spawn: a 3D-printed organism, an artificial human being. You were granted a life, yet not a consciousness, by your creators. With a blank mind, you venture through Irid Novo, an ancient asteroid mining facility turned into a space station, seeking answers. Why are you here? What is your purpose?


⚫


"Your hand reaches. Time dehisces, unfolding an incomprehensible chasm. The wound that bleeds space dust. Maimed cosmos laments silently, writhing in agony."



In Hellpoint, breaches are tears in the very fabric of time and space that interconnect parallel universes. When your Spawn stabilizes them, it allows you to level up, travel between breaches, consume gathered resources, alter enemy difficulty / loot grade and save your progress. Upon demise, you respawn at the latest breach you connected to.


⚫


“Your blood runs cold. Your hand is bound to cleanse. Under the rain of gore and guts, you dance—a child in time, a soldier in space.”



Irid Novo is crawling with horrid hostile abominations that used to be humans. To push forward, Spawn has no other choice other than to put them away. By mastering your basic combat abilities like swordplay, shooting, dodging and blocking, you will be able to defeat tougher foes.


⚫


“What are you? An experiment that went awry? God’s forgotten toy lost in the wreck? Or a perfect organism?”



Slain enemies emit axions that can be spent to upgrade your character. There are 8 different skills to level up: from health to overall strength to foresight. As you master your skills, your Spawn will gain greater stats, such as damage, radiation resistance and energy reserve which is used for ranged weapons.
