Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival Walkthrough: Prologue Guide to Find Sunny

What the Prologue Actually Expects From You

Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival opens with a long cutscene, and the moment it ends you're standing in a tunnel network with a single objective: find Sunny. If you went looking for a Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival walkthrough, chances are those corridors have already sent you in a circle at least once. The prologue isn't punishing in a combat sense — community-reported player experience describes it as mostly running, with a heavy lean toward right turns and only a handful of lefts — but it hides a looping room and a puzzle that stops a lot of people cold.

This guide covers the prologue in order, from the first chain gate to the final cube alignment, following the route shown in community walkthrough footage. For official store details, specs, and any updates from the developer, the Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival Steam store page is the page worth bookmarking.

Prologue Route at a Glance

The table below summarizes the full sequence. Each step is expanded in the sections that follow.

Navigating the Tunnels: Rights, Lefts, and One Slide

The opening stretch of this Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival walkthrough is the simplest part on paper. You move through the chains and take a right toward a door, then duck underneath the vines. From there it's a left and then a right. Community footage notes that the pattern here is dominated by right turns, which is exactly why it's easy to lose your bearings — the corridors look similar and there are no obvious landmarks.

Once you reach the next checkpoint, sprint forward and slide under the doors before they close on you. Missing that slide is one of the more common early failures. After the slide, keep moving through the alternating lefts and rights until you reach the next distinct area.

The Small Gap and the Creature's Exit

When you arrive at a wall with a low opening, crouch and go through it rather than looking for another route. Beyond the gap is a narrow hallway where objects reach out at you as you pass. Keep going and exit the way the creature ahead of you leaves — that same exit is what carries you into the living room. If you're following a Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival walkthrough and suddenly find yourself in a familiar-looking room, you've reached the part that confuses most players.

The Living Room Loop: Stop Going Forward

This is the single most important tip in the prologue. Once you're in the living room, walking straight ahead simply returns you to the living room. The geometry is a loop, and the game gives no prompt telling you so.

The fix is counterintuitive: turn around and go back out the same door you just came through. That reversal is what actually advances the mission. From there, run down the hallway until you emerge near a structure that looks like a pyramid or a diamond.

The Heart, the Box, and the Fire Swap

Follow the path out to the heart sitting at its very edge. Grab it, and a short cutscene plays — this is where you receive the box. With the box in hand, the next step is a light-based swap puzzle.

Take the fire from the glowing object on the right side and place it into the glowing object on the left. Once that swap is done, the way forward opens and you can progress. This section is short, but players who try to interact with the objects in the opposite order often assume the puzzle is broken when it isn't.

The Box Puzzle Everyone Gets Stuck On

The final puzzle of the prologue is the one community coverage flags as the biggest roadblock, and it's mechanical rather than conceptual. Here's the sequence:

• Grab the cube and bring it up.
• Grab the platform and bring it down.
• Position the cube so it touches that platform. Community walkthrough footage notes the alignment may not be strictly required, but doing it is the safer habit.
• Drag the cube.
• Progress into the next cutscene.

That's the entire prologue. According to community coverage, the following chapter, Scarlet Church, is the next major section players tackle after this point.

FAQ

What's the first thing you do in the prologue of Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival?

After the opening cutscene ends, you enter the tunnels and work your way toward Sunny. The early section is almost entirely navigation — pass the chains, take a right to the door, duck under the vines, then go left and right.

Why do I keep ending up back in the living room in this Clive Barker's Hellraiser Revival walkthrough?

Because the room is a loop. Walking straight ahead returns you to where you started. Turn around and exit through the same door you entered, then continue down the hallway toward the pyramid- or diamond-shaped structure.

How do you solve the box puzzle at the end of the prologue?

Grab the cube and raise it, then grab the platform and lower it. Make the cube touch the platform, then drag it. Completing that drag lets you advance into the next cutscene.

How do you get the box in the first place?

Walk to the heart at the edge of the path after the pyramid-shaped structure and grab it. A cutscene follows, and the box is yours. Afterward, move the fire from the right glowing object into the left one to open the route forward.
