Daemonica looked and sounded to me like some Diablo type hack and slash action game. It is, in fact, a medieval murder mystery game with a hefty and compelling story to it. Set in the fictitious English town of Cavorn, the game’s protagonist, Nicholas Farepoynt possesses powers in alchemy that enable him to converse with the dead. This kind of ability can come in handy when the local Cavorn mayor hangs and sentences people to death willy nilly and so you must get to the bottom of this for the sake of the townspeople.
