Ancient Greek Hell is doing fruitless labor over and over, never completing it.
Christian Hell is boiling oil, fire and brimstone.
The Good Place Hell is knowing you are not deserving and being scared of being found out.
Lucifer Hell is being stuck reliving the day you did something truly terrible over and over.
Actual Hell does not exist. But Heaven does and everyone goes there. The only difference is that the sinners feel terrible about what they did while alive, and feel extreme guilt for eternity, with no recourse. That’s the only brain tweak God does.
No one else tortures you, you can sing hymns all infinity long, but something is eating you inside and you can’t do anything about it. Sinners would be like everyone else most of the time, just subdued, and once in a while they would start screaming and try to self-harm or suicide, to no avail. “Sorry, no pain for you except for the one that is eating you from inside. And no reprieve, either.”

Sounds like the afterlife is designed to punish neurotics and reward psychopaths.

Angel of regret: “Time for your regular dose of remorse, Joe. Remember that one day when you horribly murdered dozen hostages?”
Psychopath Joe: “Haha, LOL, those were fun days!”
Nietzsche: “That’s my boy! Too bad we don’t have realistic pre-afterlife simulators here. Eternal recurrence ftw!”
Angel of regret: “I hate my job...”
(Plot twist: Angel of regret is Sisyphus reincarnated.)
Hence the one tweak I mentioned.
