Set in a hand-drawn 2D animated world inspired by 90s 2d animated OVA-style anime, the game plunges players into a nightmarish realm that draws players into its dark, foreboding world.

Parliament of Hell: 1796

Young poet Matthew just wants to be left alone to write his gothic horror stories. His Father wants to stop his fancies, and so does what any 18th century Father would: he buys Matthew a seat in the Houses of Parliament through bribery. Forced to serve as a Tory MP for the tiny village of Hindon (voting population 3) Matthew’s life becomes Worse Than Hell. Determined to escape, you must help him find any way possible to get kicked out of Parliament. Race against Big Ben to get disinherited and discharged.

Based on an unbelievable true story: Matthew Gregory Lewis was kicked out of the Houses of Parliament in 1796 for writing slasher horror during Parliamentary debates. Now, you can be too!

Explore the height of the Gothic era, and the infamous Parliament of Mad King George. Experience a tale based off a true story of a forgotten LGBT+ figure written by a BAFTA and Nebula-winning games writer. Delve into cosmic horror themed on religious apocrypha, and try a bit too hard to get a date with Lord Byron.

See and hear all of the above in a unique aesthetic style inspired by the golden era of the 8-bit British home microcomputer.
