The Helltaker meme phenomenon stems from the 2020 indie puzzle game developed by Łukasz Piskorz, known as vanripper. The game became an overnight sensation due to its distinct art style featuring 'sharply dressed demon girls' and an infectious soundtrack. Most memes revolve around the protagonist's quest to build a harem of demons by offering them chocolate pancakes, leading to a surge of fan art and dialogue-box parodies. The template is widely used to express niche preferences, admiration for stylish character designs, or recreating the iconic rhythmic dancing of the game's sprites. Its lasting impact on internet culture is driven by the community's obsession with the characters' unique personalities and the aesthetic appeal of formal wear on supernatural entities.
