Hell can be depicted in many different ways. From the classic Fire and Brimstone Hell, where sinners burn for eternity, to a more organized structure with different sins punished in different ways, sometimes going all the way to torments personalized to the individual, and sometimes a dark void where nothing exists, as it was portrayed in the actual Bible. Then there's this decidedly squicky version.
This kind of Hell is like being inside a living being, with walls of flesh and structures like organs. This is a fairly recent phenomenon which plays upon the Primal Fear of being eaten and the idea that Evil Is Visceral rather than ancient mythologies, but the idea of the entrance to Hell being an actual mouth that would swallow the damned is very much older than the use of the word "hellmouth" in certain 90's TV shows. (See this Hellmouth◊ image from The Middle Ages.)
Compare Womb Level (when the creature doesn't represent hell), Evil Is Visceral, Body Horror.

Domains in Shin Megami Tensei IV are dimensional distortions created by demons to serve as bases that impinge on the real world. They mostly consist of masses of fused flesh and Alien Geometries coexisting uneasily. Once you're trapped in one, the only way to escape is to kill the demon who made the Domain.

Demon Eater might qualify, although it's ambiguous whether this actually Hell or merely another dimension with an utterly bizarre ecosystem. So far at least we've never seen any humans there, alive or dead.

The Frackin' Universe megamod has since resurrected the heck biome in the form of the Atropus planets. Flesh and brains, oceans of blood and pus, twisted plantlife, horrible monstrosities, and keening background sounds make for a truly terrifying experience. Oh, and landing without the appropriate protections will drive you insane, meaning that your controls are reversed, your defense drops constantly, and you start hearing voices urging you to kill yourself. What fun!

The descriptions of Hell on Supernatural vary, depending upon who's describing it. However, in the second season, one demon (Meg, who's currently possessing Sam) describes it as "a prison made of bone and flesh and blood and fear."

Making the most over-the-top version of these ever was the entire point of Agony (2018). The entire game is set in Hell and pretty much everything is blood, bone, teeth and twisted flesh.

Played with slightly In Clive Barker's Imajica, as it's like being inside a *dead* being. The First Dominion (where the souls of the dead travel) is the physical embodiment of the god Hapexamendios, and when he dies, his flesh — i.e. the entire universe — begins to rot with expectedly squicky results.

Persona 5: The top portions of the central recurring dungeon of Momentos resemble a slightly red-tinted version of the Tokyo Subway, but as you progress deeper down, it takes on a more visceral appearance; the red tinting becomes more aggressive, and large bones and arteries emerge from the floor and run through the walls, making it resemble a subway crossed with the insides of some giant creature. The Very Definitely Final Dungeon and Greater-Scope Villain residing at its very bottom reinforce the hellish overtones.

Exalted: Most parts of Malfeas, the Demon City, don't look organic, but the place is nevertheless made of Malfeas, the fallen king of the Primordials. The ancient Exalted mutilated him, turned his planet-sized body inside out, and stuffed the world-bodies of all the other defeated Primordials inside of him. You can still find their world-bodies in there, including Cecelyne the Infinite Desert. Her body is imprisoned inside Malfeas, and his body is imprisoned inside her. Most of the Primordials' bodies don't look like the innards of an animal, but that's just because they're inhuman Eldritch Abominations who far predate the invention of things like animals.

Pathfinder: Caina, the eight layer of Hell, is implied to have once been this. According to legend, when Asmodeus first claimed Hell as his own, he conquered Hell's consciousness traveling into Caina's pulsing depths and tearing Hell's flesh from its bones, which he reformed into the archdevil Mephistopheles. In the present, Caina — also known as the Bones of Hell — is mostly an empty black void pierced by unimaginably tall towers of rock and bone, adorned in some areas by platforms of tendons, cartilage and bits of flesh.

Dungeons & Dragons:
The Fiendish Codex II, published in 3rd Edition, decides that layer six of the Nine Hells (Malbolge) is under the direction of the daughter of Asmodeus (the most powerful devil lord), Glasya, who has made the plane fleshy, with tall oily hairs instead of forests, lakes of bile and viscera, and ivory towers that used to be fingers or ribs. Special mention must also be made of a great mound at the layer's center called the Birthing Pit. The reason it looks like this is because, as part of taking over the layer, Glasya used her powers to turn Malagarde, the previous ruler, into the layer. (Step into the wrong part of Malbolge and you can still hear screaming.)
Planescape has 666 layers in the abyss, home of the Chaotic Evil demons. Zegrentilandib, layer 393, is sentient, with fleshy ground.
Nentir Vale setting has the realm of Torog, the King Who Crawls, god of imprisonment and torture. His capital city, as it were, is Gargash, the Living Torture Den. The reason it looks so horrible is that it's literally the not-quite-corpse of the ancient primordial that crippled and cursed Torog in the first place. It's "tended to" by an army of Wrackspawn, themselves the twisted not-angel-but-not-demon remnants of Torog's other victims, who are eternally hacking, destroying, and reshaping the entire city-sized horror simply so that Gargash doesn't regenerate enough to let it wake back up.

Etrian Odyssey: The walls of the Claret Hollows are nothing but flesh, and since many of the other features are also of biological origin (the toxic fluids, the valve-shaped doors, and certain enemies like Leukocytes and Red Cells), it's made clear that the dungeon takes place inside the animalistic structure of the Yggdrasil, contrasting the botanical one from the labyrinth's highest floors.

The depiction of the Nexus from Berserk, where Guts and the Hawks wind up when Griffith calls the Godhand during the Eclipse, is a seemingly-endless landscape of enormous faces and limbs that are themselves made up of smaller faces. The water is blood, and in the sky there’s a swirling vortex of moaning, tortured souls.

The original Nexus War had two Evil planes, one on the back of one of the pantheon of gods, and the second within the body of said god. It's not a pretty sight. The sequel replaced the second plane with a maddening maze crawl through that god's mind.

The Elder Scrolls
Coldharbour is the Daedric realm of Molag Bal, the Daedric Prince of Domination and Corruption. The ground is sludge, the sky is on fire, and the air is freezing. It resembles a ruined and desecrated copy of Nirn that is filled with suffering and "spattered" with blood and excrement. It contains charnel houses full of the dead and slave pens beyond count. The smell of the place alone is enough to kill most mortals, and it is said that no mortals willingly visit this place except in error. You get to venture into Coldharbour yourself in Online.
The Deadlands are the Daedric realm of Mehrunes Dagon, the Daedric Prince of Destruction. They have more of a Fire and Brimstone Hell aesthetic, with the buildings having some Alien Geometries, but they also have elements of this trope. You get to visit the Deadlands in Oblivion.

The aesthetic of Hell seen across the whole Devil May Cry series varies from game to game, but the original definitely featured this flavor. Several of the last few missions in Hell see Dante journey through what looks to be a massive, pulsating cardiovascular system.

While it does have a sky and thus isn't as claustrophobic as most of the examples here, the terrain in the hellish shard-plane of Grixis in Magic: The Gathering is said to be made of bones and decaying flesh. Even its cities are referred to as "necropoli."
Old Phyrexia was a more straight example, complete with nine spheres.

Hell in the first Diablo consisted of what seems to be bony walls filled with blood. The Nest in Hellfire was even more organic, but less infernal.
Averted in Diablo II, where some parts of Hell look like islands floating in the void. Other areas have the classic rivers of flame.
Diablo III plays it in-between, with hell consisting of a dry, bony landscape paved with what turns out to be the skin of flayed demons.

The ultimate punishment for the gluttonous in Afterlife (1996) has them sewn into the intestines of an archdemon, with a tube connecting their mouths to their neighbor's stomachs. Their revulsion at the meals consumed by their host causes an endless chain-reaction of vomiting, and structure description is even interrupted by the narrator getting sick. And you thought The Human Centipede was unpleasant.

In the third book of the Silverwing series, the bat version of the afterlife is relatively nice. However, those who especially displease the god of the underworld, Cama Zotz, spend the rest of eternity in his digestive system.

The NES Godzilla Creepypasta includes some truly nightmarish versions of this in Zenith.

Diablo III plays it in-between, with hell consisting of a dry, bony landscape paved with what turns out to be the skin of flayed demons.

Nentir Vale setting has the realm of Torog, the King Who Crawls, god of imprisonment and torture. His capital city, as it were, is Gargash, the Living Torture Den. The reason it looks so horrible is that it's literally the not-quite-corpse of the ancient primordial that crippled and cursed Torog in the first place. It's "tended to" by an army of Wrackspawn, themselves the twisted not-angel-but-not-demon remnants of Torog's other victims, who are eternally hacking, destroying, and reshaping the entire city-sized horror simply so that Gargash doesn't regenerate enough to let it wake back up.

In Our Little Adventure, Bloddengogga is the home of Demons and the afterlife for the Chaotic Evil. Its ground is meaty and dotted with gigantic eyeballs, while its trees have hands for leaves and are dotted with lipless, eyeless faces.

A lot of the levels set in Hell from Doom and Doom II, as well as parts of Doom 3, are like this. DOOM (2016) carries on the tradition, only instead of the architecture being gory, this time it's rusting rocks covered in the gore of human victims, fresh carcasses often piled up in visceral piles and forming pools of blood. Blood leaking from the ceiling is also a common sight in demon territory. DOOM Eternal ups the ante by adopting the aesthetic from the older games, as Hell's terraforming activities on Earth have resulted in entire man-made structures being slowly converted into masses of bloody, pulsating flesh.

As of version 1.2 of Terraria, worlds in the game may spawn with an alternative to the Corruption, the Crimson. It's mechanically the same thing, but new, blood-and-viscera-themed monsters are running around, Shadow Orbs are replaced with Demon Hearts, and Demonite ore is replaced with Crimtane.
