AstralShift, the developer behind the horror ADV Little Goody Two Shoes, launched early access for Hell Maiden on Steam on July 16, 2026. The game marks the studio's first action title, moving from horror to a bullet hell survival deck-building roguelite. It adapts Dante's Divine Comedy with a female protagonist named Dante fighting through the circles of hell. The opening video 'Not My Paradiso' has accumulated over 70,000 views.
A play report from Bilibili World 2026 described retro anime visuals, Vampire Survivors-like auto-attacks, and a deck system with weapon and modification cards. The game uses a top-down perspective with dash dodging and level-up enhancements. AstralShift's team discussed the card system and the shift to action in an interview, noting the visual style was inspired by 90s and 2000s dark fantasy games.
The Early Access roadmap includes a new story chapter and the third circle of hell, Gluttony, planned for 2026. The full version will include all nine circles of hell. A demo was available before the early access launch.
