You wake up in a strange place, only to realize you have been abducted with seven other people. A city guard, a royal soldier, a witch, a bard, a librarian and two criminals - all captured and brought together by an Infernal force.

A demonspawn appears, delivering a chilling message: there are demonhearts among you - people blessed with regeneration, but cursed to be hunted by everyone else. You are one of them, and you'll do anything to keep your secret safe.

As tensions rise and trust erodes, mysterious deaths start to occur. Can you trust anyone? In this chaos, you may find yourself drawn to one of your fellow captives.

Will you survive the demonspawn's trial?

This game is set in the Demonheart universe, but knowledge of the other Demonheart games is not needed to enjoy the story.
