Daedalic's “The Devil's Men” currently belongs to the area of lost games. Kevin Mentz, who had already worked on “A New Beginning” and “The black eye: Memoria“. The game was set in an alternative England in 1871. The game elements include a steampunk atmosphere and historical Victorian England. A series of murders takes place in an arts town, the focus of which is a group of scientists called “The Devil's Men”. A number of vagrants and political activists appear in the context. The player must solve the series of murders. He controls Adelaide Spektor, the daughter of a famous detective, and Emily, a member of the colony.
Drawn backgrounds and a 3D environment with dynamic tracking shots and zoom effects were planned. The game should have a non-linear course and score with many tricky puzzles. The decisions that the player makes as a character should also have an impact on the game.
