About Hellbound Inc
 

In Hellbound Inc., you take on the role of an undead courier trapped in a fulfillment center recently acquired by Satan. Inspired by Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, the game takes players through eight infernal circles of corporate torment, from Limbo to Pride. Each reimagined as a dysfunctional department within a hellish organization. Each circle features its own distinct hub area, where players can interact with bizarre co-workers, and prepare for a series of deviously challenging puzzle-platforming levels. An original soundtrack, featuring a unique theme for each circle of Hell, brings every department to life. With tricky controls, escalating difficulty, and a focus on precision gameplay, Hellbound Inc. is designed to test players’ patience, skills and perfect timing.
 

“I’m excited for players to discover that moment when frustration turns into mastery. The first time you overcome an obstacle that seemed impossible is incredibly satisfying, and that’s really the emotional core of the game,” said Pradip Romay, Studio Lead.
 

Key Features:

  • Immortal gameplay – Precision platforming meets puzzle challenges – Every room is a finely tuned delivery puzzle that tests timing, problem-solving, and reflexes
  • Eight Circles of Hell to explore – Each with unique hazards and increasingly chaotic layouts
  • Over 45 handcrafted levels 
  • Instant respawns – Die, retry, and learn without breaking the flow
  • Hellish soundtrack – A relentless score to keep you marching through the flames

Hellbound Inc. will be available on Steam starting August 11, 2026.

The Xbox community can now show their support for the project by adding the title to their Wishlist directly through the Microsoft Store by clicking here
 
A Love Letter to early 2000s Classics on the Xbox Ecosystem

Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares brings back the pure, nostalgic magic of early 2000’s icons like Spyro the Dragon, Banjo-Kazooie, and Voodoo Vince. Blending acrobatic exploration, light combat, and environmental secret-hunting within a twisted, Tim Burton-inspired carnival of dreams, the game puts players in the oversized shoes of Bobo, a clumsy but golden-hearted circus jester.

During a high-stakes performance, Bobo accidentally cracks open the legendary “Chest of Nightmares,” inadvertently unleashing the DreamMaster: an ancient malevolent entity who freezes the kingdom in an eternal twilight and twists beautiful dreams into living nightmares. Guided by a mysterious floating companion, Bobo must rely on his fluid agility, chaining together double-jumps, wall-slides, and umbrella glides, to recover lost EchoMares and restore laughter to a fractured kingdom.

 
Why Wishlisting Matters for a Historic Solo Project

Developed entirely by a single person, David Ho, over the course of just one year, Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares represents a monumental technical achievement for independent game development.
“Seeing Bobo’s official store page live on Xbox is an incredibly rewarding milestone for me as a solo developer,” says David Ho, Founder and Solo Developer at Polycast Labs. “For an indie studio, every single addition to a Wishlist makes a monumental difference. It is the absolute best way for players to show their support, ensuring the Xbox ecosystem gives the game visibility on launch day and helping prove that classic, character-driven 3D platformers are still very much alive in the hearts and controllers of the community.”
 
Key Gameplay Features:
 

  • MASTER THE JESTER’S ACROBATICS: Chain together double-jumps, wall-slides, and umbrella glides to effortlessly navigate treacherous, highly vertical gothic realms from the very beginning of the adventure.
  • SOLVE MACABRE PUZZLES: Put your wits to the test! Manipulate the environment, decipher intricate mechanisms, and unlock hidden paths reminiscent of classic 3D adventure games.
  • EXPLORE A WHIMSICAL NIGHTMARE: Dive into the secrets of the Twilight Circus hub. Scavenge for Twilight Shards, rescue upgrade-driven Nightmare Wisps, and hunt down rare Voodoo Dolls tucked away in every corner.
  • CHART YOUR OWN PATH: Select your next challenge from the central hub and tackle realms in any order. Discover multiple routes and creative solutions designed to reward every playstyle and platforming skill level!
  • SURVIVE THEATRICAL BOSSES: Face spectacular, larger-than-life foes at the end of each world. Stack floating DreamMasks for visual health protection and unleash the invulnerable “Dreamburst” state to conquer your fears!
