Comments: Ms. Stevie Addams finds herself in a hellish situation. It was just a dream… wasn’t it? The demon depicted here is rendered so well that it captures pure evil with an unsettling sense of normalcy.
As her day begins, we learn a great deal about Stevie in a short amount of time. She has a job she desperately doesn’t want to be late for, and an absolutely adorable pet tortoise; the artwork devoted to it is outstanding. Stevie herself looks lovely, even in something as simple as her white panties.
At work, Stevie has some great friends, along with a few bosses she would rather avoid. She finds moments of enjoyment with her coworkers, but everything changes when she and two of her friends discover that the company they work for is actually a front for Hell, harvesting human souls. Stevie soon finds a mysterious door, which transports her to a fiery, nightmarish realm.
There, Stevie is thrust into a brutally bloody battle while helping one of her friends, and she discovers she has an unexpected talent for killing. This is where the blood and gore truly come into play.
Stevie is an extremely likable character, an average person stuck in a job she hates. Her friends feel the same way, and their camaraderie feels natural and genuine. But for Stevie, things have taken a turn for the worse. Still, she has a way out, and she chooses to face her fate head-on. By the end, you’ll find yourself rooting for her.
