Dive Man's Inferno

By Geoff (Dive Man)

Well, it's finally happened! Dive Man's finally gone to Hell! But now that he's down there, is Hell going to want to keep him? After coming home from the Crusades, Dante (Dive Man) finds out that Lucifer himself has abducted his beloved Beatrice to the depths of Hell! Not taking this lying down, Dante ventures through the Nine Circles of Hell to get his lover back. Along the way, he finds some suspiciously familiar denizens within Hell, most of whom will do everything in their power to keep Dante from re-uniting with his fair Beatrice. Will Dante find redemption for himself and his beloved? Or is Hell doomed to suffer him for all eternity? Based heavily off the EA Game. But I did try to integrate more cues from the original Divine Comedy than the game did.
