+## Game Description {#game-description id="809DA4E6-4E0D-4179-B8FF-6C9E767EC74D"}
+
+[SEUM: Speedrunners from
+Hell](https://store.steampowered.com/app/457210/SEUM_Speedrunners_from_Hell/)
+is an incredibly fast-paced mashup of a puzzle game and a free-running
+game. Created by [Pine Studio](https://pinestudio.co) in early 2016 and
+first released as a [demo on
+GameJolt](https://gamejolt.com/games/seum-speedrunners-from-hell-demo/154868),
+this game was successfully green-lit on Steam and has amassed a cult
+following on multiple consoles.
+
+Here's the game description straight from the developers:
+
+> Like a bastard child of Quake 3 and Super Meat Boy, SEUM: Speedrunners
+> from Hell is truly hardcore and focuses on speed and fast reaction.
+
+## Story {#story id="BF401145-763D-4399-922B-7D73322B5B40"}
+
+SEUM does a great job setting the stage when you open the game for the
+first time, playing an animated video in the form of comic book images.
+You see Marty, the protagonist, sitting around drinking his beer as
+Satan busts down the door, cuts his hand off, and steals all his beer
+and bacon. As Satan is leaving, Marty whips a vinyl record across the
+room and cuts off one of Satan's hands. This hand is what allows you to
+use all the powers in the game.
+
+Check out the screenshot below for one of the first panels of the
+storyline:

+
+## Gameplay {#gameplay id="A55CB1AF-E818-4CA7-BF69-E8141369C269"}
+
+To accomplish each level, you will need to get to the final blue portal
+under a certain time limit. You can beat a level by getting to the
+portal before the time meter runs out or "Dominate" a level by beating
+it within a shorter time limit (noted by a bright red/orange color in
+the time meter).
+
+The portal is usually set behind locked gates, protected by dangerous
+defenses, or in hard-to-reach places. To reach the portal, you'll need
+to go through any existing orange portals, light all yellow beacons,
+avoid things like fireballs and blades, or use any satanic power orbs
+lying around. These special abilities include:
+
+-   Gravity
+-   Teleport
+-   Rewind
+-   Spawn platform
+-   Roar (DLC)
+-   Rocket (DLC)
+-   Shadow world (DLC)
+
+For the main storyline, there are nine floors to beat. Each floor
+contains nine regular levels, one boss level, and one bonus level;
+although you don't technically need to beat all levels to advance to
+the next floor.

+
+The main menu gives you plenty of options for tuning your system,
+playing main levels, playing the DLC, or exploring the other game modes.

+
+Once you enter a level, you can look around and strategize before
+starting. Clicking any button will start the menu, and you'll have to
+restart if you die. One of the great things about SEUM is that it has
+great keyboard shortcuts. You can quickly smash `R` to
+restart the level or `M` to return to the level menu.

+
+Once you're able to win a level, you'll see the high scores and can
+watch replays of the best scores.

+Each regular level contains a beer in a disguised location that may take
+some out-of-the-box thinking.
