There was another game started by another company (Magnetic Interactive or something like that) in 1995, Hellraiser : Virtual Hell. This used the Build Engine, and was supposed to be about advanced virtual reality research accidentally "reaching hell", supposedly it was meant to feature a mix of different kinds of gameplay, as well as going from 1st person to 3rd person, one of the possible bad endings was the player becoming a cenobite.
The concept for the game sounds like it was ambitious (if strangely fourth wall breaking), what few screenshots and shown off assets exist look pretty, and it was to feature some voice acting and FMV footage of Doug Bradley himself as Pinhead, recorded this during downtime from shooting Hellraiser Bloodlines.
The devs could never cope with the engine (be that for having too ambitious of a vision, or if they ran into the kind of problems Blood's devs did trying to get technical support from Ken Silverman), and in spite of having supposedly like +90% of the assets done, they think the game is shitty and unsalvageable, so they cancel it.

A couple of screenshots of empty levels were shown, some map layouts, and apparently some sprites and textures were shown at some point, in .jpeg form. I think this game was much further along, and probably had at least a somewhat playable build.
