Gameplay
Gameplay
Hell Pie is an action-adventure collectathon 3D platformer. The game follows Nate, the "Demon of Bad Taste" who is tasked by Satan to make him a birthday pie. He then meets Nugget, a cherub who can be used as a mid-air grapple, providing the player with increased aerial mobility that can be upgraded as the game progresses. The goal of the game is to collect all ingredients for the pie, located in the game's levels. The levels are populated with hostile mobs, such as Shit Staffels, anthropomorphic feces implied to also be Nazis. Nate and Nugget's appearance can be changed with cosmetic outfits collected in the hub world or bought with gems acquired within the levels. Meat candy can be collected in the levels, increasing the player's health and the amount of mid-air swings that can be performed with Nugget. Unicorns can be found in the hub world, which can be sacrificed for sets of horns that give the player a new power and a tutorial level for that power. The player may choose to censor certain content in the settings.
