Each episode puts you in control of a different protagonist in an open, nonlinear maze and world who has to figure out the secrets of Höll Space to survive. The game emphasizes building the world by letting you play it without taking you by the hand and guiding you through it. The experience and progression in the game are all up to your play style and exploration abilities. There's always more than one way to get ahead. But be warned, the game will reward you for exploring, but you might find yourself ill-equipped to face head-on what you encounter. Some parts of the world may change according to your earlier actions in the game, even in an unexpected way. The RPG mechanics of Höll Space 5D6 influence your character's physical movements and the use of tools and weapons, which might, in turn, unlock new ways to traverse the world.
