Escape Room Thriller

Hell’s Escape is a dark, psychological action saga about damnation, survival… and the possibility of redemption. When the wicked die, they descend into a realm of fire and shadow—Hell, where the most corrupted souls, the Hellbound, face a gauntlet of seven deadly trials. Each trial is a crucible forged from a deadly sin and its opposing virtue. Only those who embody the virtues and resist the weight of their sin can ascend and be reborn. The rest are damned forever. Each Hellbound is branded with two marks: – A sin, granting cursed power that grows stronger the more it devours them. – A virtue, the key to real strength, and the only path to escape. Enter Damien Veyne, a manipulative murderer once feared as the devil himself. He has no illusions of sainthood and no desire for forgiveness. But in a system designed to grind monsters into martyrs, or erase them entirely, he’s forced to confront a harrowing truth: Only those who change survive. Only those who redeem escape. As Damien claws through monsters, sinners, and twisted reflections of humanity, a question stalks him like a shadow: Can a man built on lies ever find something real enough to redeem?

Do journals even need a description? Probably not. But if you’re reading this, you’re already curious. This isn’t some grand memoir or life-changing manifesto—it’s just a normal journal written in a way that won’t bore me to death when I look back at it. A collection of thoughts, regrets, and "what ifs" from a guy who spent too much time wondering if he should have just kept his mouth shut. What if I never volunteered? What if I studied harder? What if I made different choices in love, in school, in life? Would I be happier? Would I still be me? This is a journal about looking back, questioning everything, and—hopefully—figuring out how to move forward.
