Eyes of Hellfire is a co-op gothic horror game inspired by tabletop games that was produced by Gambrinous.

Eyes of Hellfire is a gothic horror experience for you and up to 4 of your friends. Enter the grounds of the Hellfire Club, cautiously explore, co-operate, evade the violent entities within the lodge, and discover what you can while you each attempt to lift your curse. Escape before your soul is lost.

'The game actually originally came from a combination of our love of tabletop games, horror and social deduction games,' says lead writer and narrative designer, Len Cunningham.' RTE Interview by Barry O'Rourke, 9 October, 2025.

'Once we had decided on the Gothic theme we started delving first into literary sources for the narrative. There we also found a wealth of beautiful, dark, sorrowful etchings that accompany these, especially the work of Gustave Doré. They do an amazing job of capturing the strange wonder and lurking terror that we were aiming for. This was the main push and led us to define the limited palette that we use for the game,' said Len. Read more about how Gambrinous researched and designed Eyes of Hellfire in this RTE website interview.
