DAEMON MASQUERADE

In September 1997, reclusive Detective Lambda and Biblios, the Daemon of Records, enter the 93rd Daemon Masquerade. They must uncover the identities and Daemonic powers of six rival contestants within seven days—or face erasure from existence.

Investigate by reading documents and examining clues released as the days pass. Arrange evidence on a pinboard, write notes directly on materials, and use the Thread of Logic system to support deductions with evidence.

Work out who each contestant is and what their Daemon can do, using a detailed Daemon reference book to assess the powers described in the clues. The game presents its story through illustrated, comic-inspired scenes and documents.

Players who enjoy the game often praise the process of piecing together identities and Daemon powers from documents, especially when clues click into satisfying deductions. Reviews also frequently highlight the imaginative supernatural setting, extensive lore, illustrated presentation, and engaging story. Some players found the experience brief, and opinions differ on the deduction mechanics and ending.
