hellscapes
Fiery torment realms
Hellscapes are nightmarish, devastated landscapes—places that evoke hell through their desolation, destruction, or hostile conditions.
The word applies to war zones, environmental disasters, dystopian wastelands, or any terrain that appears apocalyptic: Wildfires turned the hillsides into hellscapes.
In gaming and fantasy, hellscapes are literally infernal realms.
Figuratively, any unbearable situation: The commute was an absolute hellscape.
