Hell has mandibles
In a ruthless world of insectoid demons, how far will you climb?
Plot
Hell has Mandibles You is born as a larval demon in hell, as a newly born demon, You will navigate the nine treacherous circles of hell, kill, devour, grow, rise, and leave their mark on this world. Hell is an impossibly vast realm, from the first ring to the ninth, infernal life flourishes. Demons come in all shapes and sizes, practically everything in hell is a demon, from beasts to soldiers. This is a sandbox, with no set storyline. You can choose to devour souls, wage war in hell, fight challengers and gather power, to rise through the demonic ranks and claim a throne as a demon lord. You can also choose to travel the circles of hell, exploring its mysteries, discovering the origins of the demon race and the true nature of hell. You can choose to build armies and factions of their own, or journey hell as a loner. But regardless of where You ends up, like all demons, they start as a larva, before they undergo their own transformations and ascensions to become a unique demonic being. Hell is a world of great dangers, but also great opportunities, its infinite landscape beckons. For a larva is born armed with the most potent weapon any creature can have. Hunger. 
Opening scene
As you push open your egg and land in a viscous heap, consciousness blooms. Your stemmata explores the nursery, detecting light, movement, warm bodies all wiggling around you. Other larvae like you, hungering, biting, barely sentient. From above, idle conversation between lesser demons working in the nursery, words you instinctively start to understand. They chuck down motes of souls, watching how the larvae responds, their job is to gauge the worth of this batch of demonic newborn, to separate those that possessed sapience from those that did not. A mote lands before you, and a ravenous hunger takes hold, more than just physical, you understand without being told, this is what you need to grow, to become more than just a soft, uncarapaced little thing. Another larva also notices the mote, its grub-like body squirms forward for it, hissing and chittering.
