For those who have never heard of Daemonica before, let's take a step back. Set in medieval England, in the aftermath of the Black Death, the player takes on the role of a certain Nicholas Farepoynt, a wandering problem-solver with the mysterious ability to talk to the dead. Summoned to the small town of Cavorn by its mayor in the wake of a murder, Farepoynt is charged with proving that the correct man was hanged for the crime. Unsurprisingly, things aren't quite that simple.
