Hellpoint is a third-person action role-playing game. The player has both light and strong attacks in their arsenal, as well as an evade mechanic. The healing gauge is refilled by dealing damage to monsters, and up to two healing injections can be stored. The game relies heavily on exploration, offering a number of secrets to discover. They may be hidden behind secret doors or in seemingly inaccessible places that can be reached by utilizing the jump mechanic. Hellpoint has been dubbed a "Soulslike" game, due to similarities in gameplay mechanics with the Dark Souls series.

In 2017, Cradle Games initiated a Kickstarter campaign to fund the development of their project. With the initial goal of CA$50,000, they managed to gather CA$64,500 over a span of two years. In 2019, the project was declared funded. A playable free sequel chapter, Hellpoint: The Thespian Feast, was released on February 20, 2020. The events of this chapter take place half a century after the events of the main game.
