What a brilliant narrative title. Short, but wastes absolutely no time. There's some brilliant aesthetic choices, lightly moving backgrounds, wonderful claymation sequences. Daemonologie is a very short experience, but given its price I'd argue its fair. After a playthrough I was left questioning so many choices, so much of the story. 6 eerie and dark characters all whispering of ill omens, and you having to decipher the truth amongst it. As a Scot myself I also loved the Scots brogue in the default language. Just a really cool experience, would recommend to anyone who enjoys dark fantasy.

Absolute cinema.

Cutscenes just won't work for me so I had to look em up on youtube (hey devs, this is a well known issue.)
Besides that, it's ok honestly.

Good. Short. Atmospheric. Awesome combination of dark middle ages, inquisition, and investigation mechanics.

I stumbled across this while looking for a copy of James VI's Daemonologie for a research project I'm working on. What a find! I loved this very much although it was short and sweet (if 'sweet' is the word). It's always great to see games and media in general written in the language I grew up with and still use day-to-day.
In terms of gameplay, it was exactly what it needed to be and made sense for the setting and story. The only thing I might have added is a physical evidence element, such as finding wax dolls, human remains and the like that were thought to have been used for evil magic by witches. This could then raise the question of who might have planted those things there. This is alluded to in the game as it is, though, which I love! And any further addition of elements like that would create an altogether larger and different game. For the small scale of a work like this, I wouldn't change anything!
It boils down what moved the process of witch hunting along which was intra-community squabbles, gossip, reputation, paranoia, zealotry, torture, and lies. It's so impressive that a game can capture this in such a concise experience where it can take pages and pages of explanation in many texts on the subject. And then I haven't even gotten to the artistic merit of this game which is fantastic. The cutscenes look like they are shaped from clay, which is incredibly apt. And the pixel art absolutely nails the gloomy and indistinct creeping dread of a village in the grip of a panic about supposed agent of the Devil in their midst.
I cannot recommend this game enough! Well done to the developer!

Great graphics, the game is scary and there is a point to the story. The game represents the time period and its nature, however it is quite short. You could obsesively look into each of the relationship dynamics between characters, but that is not my style. overall an enjoyable experience that might spark inspiration within you

Folk horror short story.
