Spelunky is an indie title where the player controls an explorer who enters various caves and mines in search of treasure, while avoiding traps and monsters in the process. The game's environment is procedurally generated, meaning each playthrough will have different dungeon layouts, making the game a semi-rougelike.
Yama is the final boss in the last level of Hell, and is depicted as a giant man with red skin. He is labeled as the king of Hell rather than a judge who infiltrated it, which seems to match up with East Asian mythology on him. He has two guards, Horse Head and Ox Face, which have human bodies except for the aforementioned heads. The guards actually exist in East Asian mythology, where they actually do protect Hama.
Strangely enough, there is an eggplant item in the game that can be used on Yama to turn him into an eggplant, allowing him to be defeated in one hit. To my knowledge, this is simply an in-game decision and is not connected to any actual mythology, but it is still interesting.
