Codebox Games reveals African-inspired action adventure Hell Bleeds

Nigerian developer Codebox Games has unveiled its upcoming indie title Hell Bleeds, marking the first public gameplay reveal after more than a year of development.

The project is positioned as an action-adventure experience set in an African-inspired fantasy world, where extremist voodoo worshippers have unleashed dark forces across the land. Players are tasked with restoring freedom as they navigate the unfolding conflict.

The team said the announcement represents a major milestone for the studio as it moves from development into public visibility and community testing.

Ecosystem growth

Moreover, the reveal comes amid growing momentum across Nigeria’s indie development scene, where solo creators and small teams are increasingly sharing early gameplay footage to build audiences and attract potential collaborators or publishing partners.

While no release window or platform details have been confirmed, the developer has begun inviting community feedback as production continues.
