Synopsis

Deep in rural England an ancient horror stirs. Long forgotten terror stalks the countryside as good and evil prepare for battle with the fabric of time and space itself at risk.

The story begins in the early hours of Sunday, 20th March 1990. Professor Edward Lynton is conducting a one man archaeological dig of a tomb in a remote English forest. He is doomed to die a violent and mysterious death.

Notes

Demon's Tomb offers two different modes of interaction with the game. The first is the traditional typed text parser, the second is a menu mode where verbs and then nouns are presented in a menu at the bottom of the screen. To change the interaction mode first press the ESC key (Amiga and Atari ST uses may also press the right mouse button) to bring up the Options Menu and then make the required change. The Options Menu also allows the screen display and other settings to be changed, and the traditional text mode allows the creation and use of macros - see the manual for details.
