Moving from left to right and up and down, you’re followed by a creature with piercing eyes and a voice out of the Exorcist-a demon sidekick that comments upon many of your discoveries, including the corpse of Benedict’s father, found during the game’s first half hour.īenedict Fox begins his search is an ornate house full of period furniture, doom and darkness. That’s Latin for the Order of the Anger of God, which plays a part in this graphically alluring 2D experience, set in the Roaring ’20s. (The whole game seems to be influenced by the words that lie above the gate to hell in Dante’s Inferno: “Through me you go into eternal pain through me you go amongst the lost people.”) But first you’re shown a montage that includes images of tanks firing in battle and a frame or two featuring a secret society called Ordo Ira Dei. You begin your foray as Benedict in an ornate three-story house and then descend into limbo itself. He’s filled with anxiety by his search for family secrets, and in a game that blends elements of mystery and horror he encounters demons-both his own and evil spirits. Benedict Fox himself is a lanky, red-haired detective.
