The Twisted House unveiled Hell Hold'em at SAGA Barcelona Game Fest 2026. The dark fantasy game sets orthodox Texas Hold'em in a hellish casino where a magician wagers their soul against demons. Players hide one extra card up their sleeve to cheat, collect Evil Cards and Artifacts, and build skills across three archetypes: Trickstar, Fighter, and Detective. It is the Barcelona studio's first computer game after 15 years of tabletop RPG work.
The studio behind Hell Hold'em is The Twisted House, a Barcelona outfit with 15 years in tabletop RPGs and the maker of Nosolorol. The new project is its first computer game, shown at SAGA Barcelona Game Fest 2026.
Design details point to a specific pitch: a magician hides one extra card up their sleeve, uses it to swap cards or force a strong hand, and faces demons with their own routines and abilities. Director Pedro J. Ramos said the game is an RPG that emphasizes story, so players who are not deep into card games can still follow it.
