Hedon is an "old school" First-Person Shooter made by a solo indie developer who goes by Zan or HedonDev. You play as Zan "the Bonebreaker", a half-orc/half-demon lady who wakes up in a cavern with no memory of how she got there, and quickly learns that her underground home is under siege from the forces of Hell.Originally titled Hedon, the original game was released March 20, 2019. It was retroactively dubbed Hedon: Crystal Heart once its sequel, Hedon: Bloodrite, was released August 30, 2021, as a free update to the original game. A free demo and the full game are both available on Steam and itch.io. | |

Spike Shooter | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_11a4bc8b | comment |
Spike Shooter: The workhorse of the Iron Division is the spike gun, which fires metal darts superheated by a Power Crystal core. In-universe, it's nicknamed the "Praak", after the tiny, porcupine-like white rats that can be found in the underground. It serves as the game's equivalent to a typical assault rifle. | |

Gatling Good | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_128e4ba8 | comment |
Gatling Good: The three-barrelled Paingun in Bloodrite, an attempt by the demons to reverse-engineer orcish Power Crystal firearms in conjunction with a black powder analogue called "hell powder". Painguns are belt-fed and don't need reloading, at the cost of chewing through ammo very quickly — pressing and holding the reload button instead pre-spins the barrels. The Alternate Fire is a slower, but more accurate, firing speed. | |

Our Orcs Are Different | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_1a303edf | comment |
Our Orcs Are Different: The Iron Division is populated by a race of technologically advanced orcs and goblins, who have a Fantastic Caste System and are, by all appearances, a One-Gender Race. They used to be a normal tribe of greenskins, until they lost their menfolk to inter-tribal war. Unwilling to submit to the victors in spite of the looming extinction of the clan, Warlord Grund violated ancestral laws and sought out the Fountain of Life, which granted her people the beauty and agelessness of the elves. For their transgression, the Iron Division was banished, and their search for a new home eventually led them to the crystal dome far underground, where they discovered the Disc and become further Touched by Vorlons. | |

Death by Materialism | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_1b7d59b6 | comment |
Death by Materialism: Nearly the fate of the Shady Fixer, who deliberately gets herself banished to the Primarch of Gold's inescapable Treasure Room, intending to use a chaotic artifact to teleport out with a haul of valuables. Unfortunately, the Primarch figured out her plan and drained the relic before banishing her, leaving her trapped. Even after helping the Shady Fixer restore the artifact and get out, she still isn't happy, because the artifact whisked them off before she had finished stuffing her boots with coins. | |

Physical Hell: Rather than being another dimension or plane of existence, Hell is simply a place deep, deep beneath the surface of the world, with the Core of Hell being an island in a lava sea that can be reached by boat. | |

The Rival | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rival: Bloodrite introduces Eraanthe, "the Queen of Wrath", a half-demon mercenary hired by the Iron Division to help topple the Blue Baron, since only those with demon blood can reach the innermost sanctum of Hell. Motivated solely by revenge against the Baron, Eraanthe is hostile and condescending towards Zan, who she views as a threat to her goals. No-one in the army particularly likes her, with multiple characters hoping that Zan gets to the finish line first. She ultimately fails regardless of what the player does — Eraanthe gets stuck at the Primarch of Pride's challenge (who demands that she surrender her sword, to her adamant refusal), and even if Zan helps her out, she's humiliated by the Blue Baron and forced to retreat from the final battle. | |

Mad Scientist | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_3517000d | comment |
Mad Scientist: Lith, chieftain-adjutant of the witch caste. After her proposal for a super-soldier program was rejected by Witch Chieftain Zura and the Lancer Council, Nithriel psychically contacted Lith and twisted her mind, forcing the witch to become her mole in the Iron Division and perform illegal experiments on her fellow greenskins to recreate the precursor bioweapon. By the time Zan returns to Valc late in Crystal Heart, Lith has taken over the witch clinic and continued her work — being gifted a small army of cultist slaves by Nithriel to experiment on, after the witch ran out of orcs and goblins — to create the humanoid Golems, which she considers the end-point of her research. Lith manages to capture the half-demon and locks her in a flooding experiment tube, clearly intending to mutate her into a golem as well, but fortunately Zan is rescued by Tiati, who puts a bullet in Lith's brain. | |

Teleport Interdiction | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_37fce466 | comment |
Teleport Interdiction: Zan attempts to use a portal corrupted by Meat Moss to reach the Lancer Temple, after clearing away the worst of the gunk, only to find herself trapped in a dream-world and forced to have a Battle in the Center of the Mind with the Big Bad. When she finally wakes up, Zan finds to her dismay that she's been dumped onto the surface mountainside, with no choice but to march up the slopes and seek an alternate entrance to Valc. Valc's "crystal ward" normally prevents intrusions by teleportation, and the cult had to find a way to bypass it to launch their attack, which was accomplished by having The Mole dupe the guards into turning it off. When Zan fixes it, you're treated to the sight of cult squads attempting to 'port in as usual, only to arrive as bloody chunks. | |

Defector from Decadence | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_38f1a7ed | comment |
Defector from Decadence: Late in Bloodrite, you come across rebels from the demon cult, who led a slave revolt that's been crushed by the time the Iron Division reaches Hell. The last survivors (a repentant slave trader named Abedun, a mute sculptor named Scrawn, and a nameless Old Orc) are holed up in an elemental shrine in the crypts adjacent to the salt mines, using illusion magic copied from Yzbeth's mansion to conceal themselves. They're aware of Zan's reputation and quickly offer their aid in bringing down the Blue Baron, proving helpful in solving two of the Primarchs' challenges, as well as providing an artifact that saves Zan's life in the penultimate level. In the epilogue, the rebels leave Hell and start new lives, rebuilding another elemental shrine. | |

Degraded Boss | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_3babae20 | comment |
Degraded Boss: In Bloodrite, the cavernous salt mine in "Salt and Blood" contains a Pit Lord Alpha (previously the Final Boss of Crystal Heart) and two Giant Cerberi. Not only are they slightly weaker, but the massive environment and extremely high vantage points neuter most of their attacks, enabling the player to simply stay out of their reach. | |

In the sequel they return for the entire second half of the game, only leaving once their goal of tearing down the demon leadership and reclaiming their stolen property is complete. | |

Zerg Rush | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_41dd77d | comment |
Zerg Rush: In-universe, the demon cult's strategy to conquer Valc is to take down the wards preventing teleportation, and then warp in hordes of disposable Mooks to overwhelm the surprised and under-staffed defenders. An Apocalyptic Log in the Barracks laments that an attempt to Hold the Line there ended with the defenders eventually running out of ammo and being slaughtered. | |

The Unfought: At the end of Bloodrite, Nithriel heavily mutates herself with the Seed of Corruption, but this is only done so she can interface with the teleporter beacon and reach the elvish mothership. The final battle is against the Blue Baron alone, while Nithriel is safe behind a glass barrier inside the beacon, warping away after the Baron dies. | |

Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Stock fantasy dwarves form one half of the Iron Division's primary allies, the Earthborn. They're short, bearded, wear mithril gear and have horned helmets, and once ruled a powerful underground nation. The only living dwarf you meet in Crystal Heart, Andrik, is dying of poison when you find him, and is cured through the consumption of a tankard of "dragonbrew", a dwarf beverage so potent it's joked that it could bring back the dead. | |

The Scrounger: In Bloodrite, which adds Hub Levels and RPG-lite mechanics, a keptomaniac goblin girl called the Shady Fixer becomes one of the game's primary stores. In Act II, she sells the player items that Fell Off the Back of a Truck (like night-vision goggles stolen from the camp maid), while in Act III she turns to scavenging supplies left over from the first attempt to invade Hell. She only accepts gold coins as payment and seems to suffer from Gold Fever in general, which drives her to attempt a heist on the Gold Primarch's legendary treasure vault. | |

Deus Sex Machina | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_6193ae61 | comment |
Deus Sex Machina: In Bloodrite, the Demon Primarch of Lust challenges Zan to bed a fellow demon-blooded in return for her Mark of the Beast, which is necessary to complete the game. The most straightforward way to achieve this is to accept Matron Yzbeth's invitation to bed after playing along with her antics and gathering the soul keys. Alternatively, the player may stand Yzbeth up, which unlocks an alternate path to resolve the Primarch's challenge by bedding Eraanthe instead, who begrudgingly offers to "help" in return for helping her solve the Primarch of Pride's challenge. While the screen quickly fades to black in both cases, Zan's Expressive Health Bar wears a sultry grin and then falls asleep until gameplay resumes. | |

Sequel Hook: At the end of Bloodrite, Nithriel is left stranded on an orbiting mothership belonging to Fantasy Aliens, which is badly damaged by Meat Moss but appears to still be mostly functional. Meanwhile, the civil war that erupts in Hell after the Blue Baron's death is hinted to eventually be won by Matron Yzbeth. The final shot of the cutscene goes as far as to indulge in a The End... Or Is It? note, with the sound of demons teleporting offscreen. | |

| Hedon (Video Game) / int_67a7cd88 | comment |
Battle in the Center of the Mind: In Crystal Heart, the game's first Boss Battle is against the sorceress Nithriel, who invades Zan's mind in an attempt to destroy her. In Bloodrite, the Blue Baron uses his Psychic Powers during the Final Boss battle to periodically trap Zan in mental illusions. These include a strange ocean hinted to be a vision of the Baron's homeworld; a high-tech version of the lower arena where he attempts to blast Zan to shreds with a spray of psionic projectiles; a bottomless pit lined with shredding sawblades and filled with pools of lava; and finally a Bad Future that attempts to trick Zan into believing she lost the fight. During all of these, Abhaoth intervenes to protect Zan and give her the means to fight back. | |

Bizarrchitecture: Yzbeth's mansion in Bloodrite features perspective-trick puzzles using mirrors, a hall of doors that are all different sizes (one of which opens into another mirror where the reflection steps out and attacks you), a library compacted into itself so that bookshelves and tables stand on the walls and ceilings, and an art gallery featuring an unfortunate Lancer who's been trapped inside a painting (actually a window into a hidden chamber, where she's been left paralyzed and unable to move). It gets worse after you create an amulet of True Sight attuned to the Matron's secrets, as parts of the estate connect to an Acid-Trip Dimension rooted in Yzbeth's consciousness. | |

Fantasy Gun Control: In-universe, the Iron Division produces tons of sophisticated Magitek firearms, but the Lancer Council refuses to allow them (or the related Power Crystals) to be traded with other nations, preventing their proliferation. When the demon cult invades Valc, several Apocalyptic Logs express concern that their enemies might try to steal the tech for themselves — which is exactly what happens partway through the sequel, with the introduction of demonic Hellions armed with Painguns. | |

Stealthy Mook | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_72b8af59 | comment |
Stealthy Mook: The Golem. Thanks to their acrobatic speed, small stature compared to other enemies, their entirely dark purple coloration, and being encountered most often within dark or shadowed areas. It’s not uncommon to lose track of them, besides the sound of their darting footsteps and flechette attacks. | |

Door to Before: Most maps are designed to loop back on themselves constantly through pathways opened by keys, switches, plot items or setpiece triggers, with only a scarce handful of truly linear levels. | |

Psychic Powers | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_874176be | comment |
Psychic Powers: Wielded by Mentalists, Psi Demons and the Blue Baron in Bloodrite, psychic attacks ignore your Armor Meter and always deal direct health damage. According to Earth Mother Bendi, the damage is proportional to the victim's intelligence, as a bear warrior dumb enough to try blocking a mental attack with her shield suffered only a migraine. A special Psi Crown item can block psychic attacks, but it has a limited charge and there's only a few opportunities in the game to replenish it. | |

Precursors | |

Precursors: The elves once ruled a powerful and technologically advanced civilization, and the underground (even Hell) is filled with ruined elvish structures, as well as artifacts like their Power Crystals, the Disc and a fragmentary Portal Network. The end of Bloodrite reveals that the elves were a spacefaring civilization, with a derelict mothership still orbiting the planet. Nithriel is speculated to be one of the last elves left, and her ultimate motive is to contact others of her kind, wherever they might be, and summon them back to the world. Unfortunately, it seems they were wiped out by a virulent pathogen they were studying, which ironically became the basis of the Meat Moss weaponized by Nithriel on her mad quest. | |

The melee-only Bearzerker difficulty provides two additional axe weapons — the Great Axe, a weapon enchanted to give the wielder a passive damage reduction and melee Attack Reflector, with an alt-fire Spin Attack; and the Hatchet & Shield, which allows the player to block attacks using alt-fire. | |

Meaningless Villain Victory: After stealing the Disc and fleeing to Hell, Nithriel completes the beacon ritual when the Blue Baron falls, and Zan and Abhoath can only watch as the sorceress is teleported away to an orbiting space vessel belonging to the precursor elves. Nithriel's triumph is short-lived, however, as she realizes the ship has been overtaken by the precursor bioweapon, and the elves aboard are long dead, leaving her alone and stranded in space while Zan returns home with the Cosmic Keystone. | |

And I Must Scream: The fate of an unlucky Lancer encountered in "Place Afoul" during Bloodrite. She's been sealed inside a painting by the succubus Yzbeth, unable to do anything more than plead for Zan to save her. The only way to rescue her, she reveals, is to retrieve a Voodoo Doll hidden somewhere in the mansion and somehow place it within the world of the painting. The "painting" is actually a window into a hidden chamber within the level, but the Lancer is being kept in her pose through magical paralysis until you bring the doll there. | |

Sealed Room in the Middle of Nowhere: The Primarch of Gold double-crosses Zan after granting his mark, and banishes her into a Treasure Room to languish for the rest of her days. The Shady Fixer is also stuck there, in possession of a non-functioning magical relic she had hoped would get her out of there after stuffing her pockets. Luckily, a talisman of True Sight on a high shelf (beyond the goblin's short reach, to her irritation) reveals a logic puzzle the pair can solve to open a new path, containing a Blood Magic altar that can charge the Fixer's relic and teleport them both out. | |

Turned Against Their Masters | |

Turned Against Their Masters: The Forge Elementals used to be tame by the favor of the gods, but the demons somehow corrupted them and turned them against their former masters. The Elementals suddenly turning hostile is what spelled the doom of the campaign into Hell, as they torched the main encampment and left the allied army too weak to continue or retreat safely. After the demons are defeated, however, it's shown that the forge elementals once again became docile enough to be put to work rebuilding Valc. | |

Bad Future: The Blue Baron attempts to break Zan's spirit by trapping her in an illusionary world where she failed to defeat him and the Iron Division was forced to retreat from Hell, and the demon hordes and the Meat Moss consumed the world. Zan wakes up in a ruined version of the Grove from Crystal Heart, where the last handful of survivors from the Iron Division cower inside the Great Stump and wait for the end to come, as demonic emissaries occasionally visit to take individuals away for an unknown purpose. The illusion breaks down when Zan slays the emissaries and inspires the orcs to fight back despite the odds. | |

Hellhound: The Cerberus is an early demon enemy that approaches the player in a zig-zagging pattern, before trying to bite or breathe fire in a trident spread. Upon death they drop half-full Fragfire Gun canisters, as their fire-breathing ability is powered by fragfire cans surgically grafted into their lungs. Rarely, they'll give the player a Collar of the Beast as well. A King Mook variant, the Giant Cerberus, is Bloodrite's halfway-mark Boss Battle, with the added ability to perform a Dash Attack that leaves behind a damaging trail of fire. | |

Expy: Forge Elementals are robotic Cacodemons with the Mook Maker ability of Pain Elementals. Correspondingly, the Forge Urchins they spit out are analogous to Lost Souls. Psi Demons in the sequel are mind flayers, being robed, purple-skinned Cthulhumanoids with Psychic Powers. Their primary attack, a hit-scan strike with a telegraphed build-up that requires the player to quickly break line of sight to avoid, is very similar to the arch-vile of Doom II. | |

The Mole | |

Valc's "crystal ward" normally prevents intrusions by teleportation, and the cult had to find a way to bypass it to launch their attack, which was accomplished by having The Mole dupe the guards into turning it off. When Zan fixes it, you're treated to the sight of cult squads attempting to 'port in as usual, only to arrive as bloody chunks. | |

Fantastic Caste System: The Iron Division divides their society into Lancers (the ruling caste), Earth Mothers (druids and healers), Witches (alchemists and scientists), Bear Warriors (the military), Reavers (spies, assassins and scouts) and Fixers (engineers and laborers). Orcs dominate the Iron Division and occupy the most influential castes, while the smaller goblins populate the Reavers and Fixers. | |

The Starscream | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_eedee4d | comment |
The Starscream: Yzbeth the succubus matron is entrusted by the Blue Baron to guard the three keys to his vault at her estate, but playfully offers to look the other way if Zan manages to find the keys on her own. The epilogue montage implies that this was a deliberate ploy to start an Evil Power Vacuum and seize control over Hell. | |

Xenomorph Xerox | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_ef23acb9 | comment |
Xenomorph Xerox: Golems, enemies that resemble featureless female humanoids made of the same purple-black material that forms the Meat Moss, are first encountered in an area dramatically overtaken by the black gunk, looking for all the world like a xenomorph hive from Alien. The golems are seen suspended in fleshy pods attached to the walls, along with pulsating "eggs" on the floor (actually pods of acid that explode if you get too close). | |

Fire-Breathing Weapon | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_f0001923 | comment |
Fire-Breathing Weapon: The Fragfire Gun's alternate function shoots a rapid stream of fire projectiles at medium range, which set enemies ablaze upon fatal damage. It can be used to ignite clouds left by the toxic potion launcher, and in Bloodrite it becomes a necessary tool to burn away path-obstructing vine tangles. However, certain enemies (like forge elementals, and most demons) are immune to flamethrower attacks. | |

Fantasy Aliens | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_f19ee38d | comment |
Fantasy Aliens: The Precursor elves are revealed at the very last moment of Bloodrite to be aliens, complete with Shiny-Looking Spaceships. Unfortunately, Nithriel's attempt to contact the rest of her people by teleporting to a mothership reveals that the elves were wiped out by the same bioweapon the demon cult had recovered from their terrestrial ruins, leaving the vessel derelict. | |

Armor Meter | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_f480c12f | comment |
Armor Meter: Styled as 'Armor Amulets', which use Power Crystals that form an invisible shield capable of minimizing damage by absorbing some of the impact. Armour is seperate to hitpoints, and there are several different types of amulets that provide varying levels of power and damage reduction, ranging from 35% to 60%. | |

Cosmic Keystone | |
| Hedon (Video Game) / int_f6b7820b | comment |
Cosmic Keystone: The Precursor Disc kept in the Lancer Temple, which the demon cult invades Valc in an attempt to steal. It's the source of all the Power Crystals in the underground, and when Nithriel runs off with it, crystals across the dome fall dark. This quickly starts killing the plant life that relied on the ambient light of the crystals, leading to a famine that threatens to wipe out the civilizations that call the underground home. | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment: At the Iron Division camp in "Besieged", a witch is hard at work brewing healing potions for the warriors, which serves as a replenishing supply for the player's convenience. Smash the breakable objects in her field laboratory, however, and she'll refuse to give you any more healing. | |

Brick Joke: In Bloodrite, one of the bear warriors in "Beseiged" is impressed by Zan's heroic tale and hopes to see the severed head of the Pit Lord Alpha, the Final Boss of Crystal Heart, mounted in Valc's tavern after they get home. In the last shot of the epilogue montage, where the cast is shown celebrating in the tavern, the Alpha's skull can be seen mounted over the door. | |
