HELLMART is a chilling hybrid of retail simulation and horror, casting you as a 24-hour convenience store clerk in the remote North. By day, you juggle customer service, restocking shelves, and hitting sales quotas. When darkness falls, the store becomes a nightmare—hostile forces emerge, and every decision might cost your life.
Day Shift Duties
In HELLMART’s daylight hours, the store feels almost routine—until subtle oddities begin to hint that something is terribly wrong. You’ll be responsible for the mundane but demanding tasks that keep any small shop alive.
• Serve and Sell: Process transactions at the register and interact with customers, making sure not to be rude
• Restock Inventory: Replenish shelves and maintain product availability across aisles.
• Maintain Cleanliness: Keep the store and surrounding area orderly to avoid negative consequences.
• Meet Sales Goals: Hit your daily quota to stay in the game and unlock further tools or options.
• Upgrade Preparations: Use income and supplies to invest in stronger defenses or enhancements before night arrives.
Nightfall Hazards
Once night comes, the tone shifts drastically in HELLMART. The mundane setting becomes unnerving, and threats begin to materialize. It’s no longer enough to just sell and serve—you must survive.
• Watch the Generator: Keep the power running—if lights go out, danger escalates
• Barricade and Secure: Lock or board up doors to slow intruders.
• Monitor Security Cameras: Use surveillance to spot strange behavior or intrusions before they reach you
• Interact with Late-night Visitors: Decide who to let in and who to keep out—some clients may not be what they seem.
• Defend or Escape: Use tools, environment, or your wits to avoid lethal consequences.
Unique Systems & Replay Appeal
HELLMART distinguishes itself by making your actions matter and injecting unpredictability into even familiar routines. No two shifts play out the same way.
• Adaptive Horror Systems: The game adjusts behavioral and threat patterns to challenge your assumptions.
• Supernatural Mimicry: Evil forces can imitate customer behavior or slip past defences, forcing you to remain vigilant
• Meaningful Choices: Each decision—from who you admit to how you barricade doors—affects outcomes and ending possibilities.
• Immersive Visuals: The starkness of a small store in a snowy northern town amplifies the horror when things start to go wrong.
• Multiple Endings: Surviving several nights and your choices lead to variant conclusions.
Survival Tips & Strategy
Thriving in HELLMART requires balancing your daytime efficiency with nighttime caution. Here are some practical strategies to survive longer:
• Prioritize Upgrades Early: Any chance you get to strengthen locks, lighting, or surveillance should be taken before night.
• Don’t Assume Safety: Visitors who seem harmless during the day may not be what they appear later—trust, but verify.
• Use the Environment: Hide behind shelving, exploit shadows, and funnel intruders into traps or safe zones.
• Conserve Resources: Only use defenses when needed—overspending on barricades or supplies can leave you vulnerable later.
• Observe Behavior Patterns: Repeated playthroughs reveal attack timing, mimic patterns, and cues that help you predict danger.
HELLMART weaves a tension-filled experience around ordinary tasks gone wrong, blending store simulation with chilling survival. From managing the cash register to defending your life, every shift demands awareness, adaptability, and nerves of steel. Dive in, but be wary—tonight, your “customers” may be the least of your concerns.
