Description

In Hell to Pay, you're not perfect. You've made your share of mistakes. In fact, maybe you deserve to be in this shifting Hellscape... but then again, maybe you don't. Razorface is a killer that will force you to reckon with yourself and deal with your "afflictions." He draws power from them and horrible mutilation and suffering await you if you find yourself unable to do so.

The Hellscape is a maze that is ever-changing. The sights you'll see may draw you in with ecstasy one moment and then horrify you completely the next. Will you stay in hell for eternity? Or will you be able to escape alive and get back to your normal life?

Requires Final Girl Core Box to play.

Quotes (from this video)
  • But I'm a sucker for theme.
  • As a gamer, this is a gamer problems I experience.
  • When the setup and the barrier of entry to get back to the table outweighs the actual enjoyment I would have for a couple hours, that game I just don't need anymore.
  • The Hellraiser movie. Oh my, that is uh quite It's not the movie I watched before. I thought that's the one I saw. It definitely wasn't.
  • This is rough. Oh, so rough.
  • I feel like this one there's some scenarios where like items you can kind of ignore and they're not as um important. I feel like this one is definitely leaning into the items are a necessity.
  • This is the one that if we saw in setup, I would totally start over. Just draw a new card. Uh this is disgusting.
