About Hellfair
Hellfair is a first-person survival horror game about the worst call-out a mechanic could get. It is three in the morning, the job is the only one around that pays a living wage, and tonight's assignment is a condemned theme park. A demolition company is tearing it down, their heavy machines keep breaking, and you are the handyman sent in to keep them running.
That would be miserable enough on its own. The problem is that the park is not quite as abandoned as advertised. One clown is still running the show, and he does not appreciate the work you are doing. Every repair you attempt happens with the knowledge that he could be anywhere in the dark, and he is very interested in finding you.
The Hellfair game pairs chunky, low-poly visuals in a retro PlayStation style with a simple, stressful loop: find what you need to fix a machine, get it working, and stay alive while you do it. It is a tight, well-built piece of chase horror. You can play Hellfair online here, in the developer's own browser build.
How to Play Hellfair
- Move with W, A, S, and D, and hold Shift to sprint.
- Press E or click the left mouse button to interact with objects and machinery.
- Turn your flashlight on and off with F.
- Click the left mouse button to swing your wrench or inspect your clipboard, and press Space to toggle your hand.
- Track down the parts each machine needs and bring them back to repair it.
- Pause any time with Esc or P.
What Makes Hellfair Scary
Hellfair gets its fear from pressure. You are never just exploring a creepy fairground; you are trying to finish a job in it while being hunted. Every trip to fetch a part is a trip away from safety, and every repair takes time you could spend running. The park itself does a lot of the work, with rusting rides, dead lights, and long shadows, but it is the clown that turns an eerie walk into a fight for survival.
The retro, low-poly look adds its own unease. Rough, blocky shapes leave just enough to the imagination, so the thing moving between the rides is always a little harder to read than you would like. Expect a menacing clown, tense chase sequences, and the threat of violence.
Tips for Hellfair
- Learn the layout as you go. Knowing the routes between machines saves precious seconds.
- Save your sprint for emergencies. Running out of stamina mid-chase is a bad place to be.
- Use the flashlight wisely. It helps you find parts, but it also makes the dark feel very large.
- Check your clipboard often. It keeps you focused on what the next repair needs.
- Look for detours and shortcuts through the park when the clown is on your trail.
- If the browser version struggles, the developer recommends the downloadable build.

The team notes that the web version may not run for everyone, in which case the download is the better route. FunClicker embeds the developer's own web build without changes.

FAQ
Is Hellfair free?
Yes. Hellfair is free to play in your browser on this page, with no account, no download, and no purchases inside the game. Open the page, click into the game, and your night shift begins. The developer also offers Windows and Linux downloads on itch.io if the browser version does not run well on your computer.
Is Hellfair scary?
Yes. Hellfair is survival horror built around being hunted by a clown while you try to repair machinery in a dark, abandoned theme park. The pressure of working while exposed makes it tense throughout, and the chases can be genuinely stressful. Its retro low-poly style keeps it from being graphic, but it is not a relaxing game.
How do you play Hellfair?
You play a handyman fixing broken demolition machines in a condemned theme park. You search the park for the parts each machine needs, bring them back, and complete the repair, all while avoiding a clown who is hunting you. Sprinting, your flashlight, and knowing the layout are your main tools for staying alive.
Who made Hellfair?
Hellfair was made by Guinea Pig Labs, an independent studio that released it on itch.io in February 2024 for browsers, Windows, and Linux. FunClicker embeds the studio's original web build with credit, so you are playing the real release. We did not make Hellfair and have not modified it in any way.
Can I play Hellfair on mobile or a Chromebook?
Hellfair is designed for a keyboard and mouse, with WASD movement, Shift to sprint, F for the flashlight, and mouse clicks for tools, so phones and tablets are not a good fit. A Chromebook with a mouse may run it, but the developer warns the web version does not work for everyone, and the download needs Windows or Linux.
Is Hellfair unblocked at school?
If your network allows this site, Hellfair should load, since it runs in a browser tab with no download, plugin, or login. Whether a school or workplace filter lets it through is up to that network, not us. Keep in mind that it is survival horror with a menacing clown and tense chase scenes.
Does Hellfair have jump scares?
Hellfair is chase-driven horror, so the clown appearing when you least want him is part of the experience. Expect sudden, heart-racing moments as well as long stretches of tension while you work. If loud surprises bother you, lower the volume a little, though the sound is useful for keeping track of danger.
What are the controls for Hellfair?
Move with WASD and sprint with Shift. Press E or the left mouse button to interact, F to toggle the flashlight, and Space to toggle your hand. The left mouse button also swings your wrench and inspects your clipboard. Pause the game with Esc or P whenever you need a break from the park.
