Writers: Regardless of your belief in it, what do you imagine hell to look like?

Why don't you read Paradise Lost by John Milton, and the Inferno by Dante? I don't think anybody has ever topped those two descriptions of hell.

And don't forget there are various hells in various different versions of Buddhism, indigenous Chinese religion, and other belief systems. The Chinese one is especially interesting because it's a bureaucracy quite similar to the imperial Chinese bureaucracy.

Update: I just read your petulant response to Bluebellbkk. You are a snotty little jerk, Jordan. Ignorant, too.

As I have no belief in an actual hell, I have different "images" of it depending upon which religious text I'm reading. But if you're looking for the most gory, sadistic, grotesque, description of hellfire, it's easy enough to find. Just read certain Christian and Islamic texts. They will give you a lot of ideas you can use to write your own description.

Personally i think you should figure out what you think it looks like. But in my head, hell is just a place of nothingness where you're trapped with all your thoughts and regrets and wrong doings. Not sure how that would help with a video game though

So how much are you going to pay me to exercise my literary muscles on your behalf?

I think if there is a hell, it's literally the worst thing you can imagine. So it's different for every person.

If you want to see someone's more contemporary literary take on hell, check out Robert Olen Butler's Hell. It's amazing and unlike any hell you've seen described before!
