The Devil's Men is a point-and-click adventure from Daedalic Entertainment (Blackguards, Deponia series). This is a story in the steampunk reality of Victorian England, focusing on Adelaide Spektor, a young woman who tries to escape from life in the criminal underworld and find a long time ago lost father.
The Devil's Men is Daedelic's adventure game set in Victorian-era steampunk.
The Devil's Men stars 20-year-old Adelaide Spektor, the daughter of famous detective Karol Spektor, who abandoned her as a child. Adelaide lives in a small seaside town beset by a series of murders that trace back to the old exhibition grounds, where ruins of steel and glass are the new shelter to a gang of waifs and strays, misfits and tramps. With these outsiders asserting more and more influence in town through any means necessary, the principled Adelaide hides in fear of being discovered by the colony and forced into their ranks. When she witnesses the murder of her father’s old friend, she sees her chance to find Karol Spektor and reclaim her former place in society. But only the notorious colonist and double murderer Emily can help take up Adelaide’s father’s trail.
The game's title is named after a coterie of scientists who exceeded the limits of the spiritual and material world decades ago, yet are bizarrily perishing one after another. Players will need to guide the two protagonists in their efforts to find the connection between these Devil's Men and Karol Spector.
The game takes place in gorgeous hand-painted environments in a world made of steampunk elements amidst a fictitious Victorian England. Along the way, there are not only challenging puzzles to overcome but many opportunities to influence the storyline, as gamers have to consider all the possible ways to solve a puzzle, because every decision might change the story.
