About Hellcife

Hellcife is an indie game development studio by Higgor Leimig.

Higgor grew up playing games like Pokemon Red, Blue, and Gold, Tibia, Diablo 2, and other RPGs. And while these games had their fair share of action, the backstory and sense of discovering a whole new world was the hook that made him come back again and again to these games.

Hellcife is born from a long standing desire to build games that invoke the same feelings in other gamers. Games that bring wonder and make gamers lose themselves in fantastical stories and adventures, like he did all those years ago.

The name

The name Hellcife is a play at Higgor's hometown of Recife, in Brazil. The city is known for its coral reefs, "Arrecifes" in Portuguese, which later became "Recife," and its tropical, damp weather which makes the city hot and humid. Sometimes too hot — thus, "Hell"-cife.
