An idle ARPG for Path of Exile build crafters

Where the depth is

• 129 skills across seven callings, each picking a form at rank ten that changes how it works.
• A party of up to five, so the Zealot's auras, the Bonecaller's curses, the Warbringer's shouts, summons, traps and sentries all stack on the same targets.
• Six damage types: physical, fire, cold, lightning, poison and arcane. Resistances cap, every tier from Nightmare on takes some away, and curses and marks break them down.
• Increased and more are kept apart: one additive pool of increased damage per hero, and more multipliers only from a short, named list, each on its own tooltip line.
• Oath trees: one per calling, 24 stars each, with 14 minor, 7 notable and 3 keystones. Only one keystone acts at a time, and keystones are where the rules bend.
• Gear that changes skills: full sets rework their calling's signature skills, and runewords, sockets, charms and the Forge's Exalt step all feed the build.

An endgame with keys

• Gauntlets: carry keys through the maps to a boss's own lair.
• Hell Rifts: a cursed zone and a clock that will not stop.
• Descents: a stair of floors and doors that goes deeper than the acts.
• The Ascension ladder: ten Wake Omens that make every run harder and its loot deeper. The prestige guide lists them.

What it is not

• No manual movement or click-to-attack: heroes fight on their own.
• No trading and no online play: Hellwake is single-player with local saves.
• No offline rewards: the game moves only while it runs.
