01 / THE GUIDE
Story Setup
Aidan unintentionally activates the Genesis Configuration, opening a gateway that drags him and Sunny into the Labyrinth. The narrative frames his actions as a bargain with Pinhead, whose ritual threatens to unleash unprecedented pain and pleasure.
Progression follows Aidan’s attempts to free Sunny while navigating a series of confrontations that deepen the horror. Each encounter is tied to the box’s influence, advancing the plot toward a climactic showdown.
- Observe when the box activates; it often signals a shift in narrative tension.
- Note the order of encounters, as story pacing influences enemy placement.

Genesis Configuration Powers
The Genesis Configuration grants unique, hellish abilities that can be combined with an arsenal of earthly weapons. These powers let the player inflict bone‑breaking, flesh‑searing damage—or pleasure—on masochistic enemies.
Using the box’s abilities is central to surviving the Cenobite‑infested environment, offering a combat style that mixes supernatural effects with conventional firepower.
- Pair each box ability with a different weapon to see which combos feel most effective.
- Watch enemy reactions to gauge whether a particular ability feels more punitive or rewarding.

Enemy Factions
Players encounter hell’s wretches, deviants, cultists, and infernal priests, each reflecting twisted devotion to the Cenobites. Visual designs differ enough to allow quick identification in combat.
Pinhead serves as the primary antagonist, anchoring the game’s horror tone. All factions appear within the story‑driven survival framework.
- Learn the silhouette of each faction; distinct designs help prioritize threats.
- Notice how proximity to the box’s influence zones changes enemy behavior.

Controller Support
Hellraiser: Revival offers full controller support, including DualShock and DualSense compatibility. Players can navigate the first‑person experience entirely with a gamepad.
The support applies to the entire single‑player campaign, covering combat, movement, and interaction without requiring any other input method.
- Test both DualShock and DualSense to see which feels more responsive for aiming.
- If aiming feels off, experiment with grip and playstyle before settling on one controller.
