Live From Terror
Los Angeles at the turn of the 21st century. On a cable channel dedicated to
the strange and the paranormal, Dave Ackland carries out his investigation live
with the pressure of the audience that wants him to go farther and farther. He
has been vested with the power to turn into his diabolical female double, Deva.
On Halloween night, Dave and his team sneak into a haunted house where crimes
have been committed. When the living dead are getting ready to meet him, back
there in the studio Jack T. Ripper means to use the audience to make the
retransmission the most enthralling and terrifying show of the day...
The Infernal Reality Show
Welcome to WWWL, the number one cable TV network specializing in horror and
the paranormal... Imagine that you're Dave, star of Devil Inside, the hippest
reality show on the entire West Coast! You're on live TV on Halloween Night,
guided by the star host the merciless Jack T. Ripper. Your job is to make
audience ratings soar, and the survival of the show depends on you! But let's
start at the beginning...
1999. A dangerous criminal, The Night Howler,
is executed. Two years later, he escapes from hell, leading a pack of cursed
stray souls who will stop at nothing to escape Lucifer's flames. Taking refuge
in the Hollywood hills, the evil horde haunts Shadow Gate, a sinister house in
which every encounter could be fatal. Your mission is to purify the grounds,
eliminate these living dead, and send their souls back to hell, in front of the
cameras and a screaming audience gone amok, cheered on by Jack T. Ripper, who's
locked up in the WWWL studios! But Dave has a gift... He can generate the devil
inside him, and transform himself into Deva, a powerful, first-rate female
devil. All he has to do is pass through one of the activated pentacles
scattered inside and outside of Shadow Gate at just the right moment. Easy? Not
when you consider Angelina, the vicious scientific reporter at SSSW... the top
competing channel. She's really determined to prove that the Devil Inside show
is nothing but a huge hoax. Is this too much for one person to handle? Relax...
when you play Devil Inside there are two of you, and changing channels is not
an option!
Never before has a TV show put so much at stake.

Reviews:
EuroGamer
by Ewan "nach0king" Macdonald
"The Devil Inside is produced by Hubert Chardot, the legendary genius behind
the classic 'Alone In The Dark' games, and on first playing Devil Inside the
similarities are striking - the main setting is the familiar haunted house,
with the usual mix of action, puzzles and suspense."
"In fact the whole storyline is rather original - the implications of
entertainment over human safety are well displayed in the course of the game,
making the player feel like both a brain dead TV addict vying for more cheap
thrills, and an entertainer in search of fame. Throw in a bit of gunplay and
zombies, and you've got the Devil Inside."
"One aspect that came very close to ruining the game for me though was the
puzzles. Many of them are excellent additions to the game, and without them it
would be a whole lot worse, but many were poorly thought out."
"Conclusion. If you are a fan of Alone In The Dark, and are longing for some
more French-influenced zombie fun, you will probably want to snap this up right
away. You will need a decent computer to make the most of it though - if you
play this on anything less than a Pentium II 400 with a decent 3D accelerator
card you will be sorry."
