The Horned Devils

The demons with whips who stand on the rim of the first ditch and lash anyone out of step.

The body the game gives to the damned, turning on itself: sixteen views rendered from the game itself.
Not a portrait of this one. The game gives almost every damned soul the same body, and this is it: what tells them apart is where they stand and what they do.

Uno dei cornuti, di guardia al primo scoglio. Non ti lascia passare di sopra: dice che chi arriva da fuori entra come entrano gli altri. La rampa sta indietro, dove ti ha posato la bestia.

What the game says

How this one works is not written here, on purpose. It is the answer to something the game asks you, and there is no button to show it anyway: a warning is a social defence, not a defence, and whoever clicks has already read.
