This sequence lasts approximately 40 seconds, until Satan's face appears on the screen with a long scream (in the Amiga version).

			== Gameplay ==
			The game uses a combination of text-based commands, clickable verbal commands, and clickable objects to progress. A compass indicates which directions the player can travel. Much of the game's movement and actions are real-time, so there is a day-and-night cycle, and other characters go about their business throughout the adventure. The player's inventory can be viewed in the respective menu. Many encounters can kill the protagonist (ideally at night time) unless the player performs a proper action to avoid them. Newer versions of the game omitted the encounters where the players get garroted. The player loses the game if four days pass and all the required possessed citizens have not been killed and the devil has not been repelled.

			== Reception ==
			When it was generally well-received, including the ratings of 87% by Zzap! (Amiga), 84% by Computer + Video Games (Amiga and Atari ST), 74% by CU Amiga (Amiga), and 7/10 by Datormagazin (Amiga).
