About Tell a Demon
There was once an immortal Empress.
Then it turned out she was not so immortal after all.
She ruled the World of Aeser for over a thousand years until her own courtiers betrayed her. That was a hundred years before you were born.
They always said the Empress cast a long Shadow, and today the Shadow of a dark empire hangs over your head. Face that lingering darkness from the perspective of three characters with intertwining stories.
Julius
You are Julius, a shadow demon. Your kind once served the empire as mindless automatons. But your mind and memories were returned to you by chance. Will you take this opportunity to get your mind back for good? Or will you succumb to the Hunger that whispers to you?
Kalevel
You are Kalevel, an ancient demoness once despised by the immortal Empress. Now, long life has left you complacent. Will you see the signs of a new enemy before it is too late?
Tell
You are Tell, a girl who wants desperately to leave a home plagued by memories of family tragedy. Unfortunately, your hunt for job in the city brings you smack up against that tragedy in the least likely of places. Who would have thought you'd find a ghost from your past in the notorious Imperial catacombs?
Some choices affect your character's personality. Others alter the plot.
Some paths lead to horror.
Others to romance or friendship.
Endings unfold and are fully realized rather than being tersely summarized.
With 80,000 words of content, each playthrough comprises 1-2 hours of gameplay, although this varies widely with each path. Tell a Demon is designed to be replayed, however, and to find and fully experience all the content takes 4-6 hours or more.
The ghost of the Immortal Empress invites you to enter...
...the mysterious World of Aeser.

✦ AI summary
Tell a Demon is praised for its engaging narrative with multiple POV characters, complex storytelling, and original 1920s-inspired fantasy world that keeps players invested enough to pursue all endings and achievements. However, some players note that the worldbuilding can feel excessive at times, and since this is the second game in a planned trilogy, familiarity with the first part is recommended to fully appreciate the connections and lore.
[i]"His face was like an abandoned house, it's windows gaping dark, the lonely emptiness of it a thing to turn away from, to flee ━ for ghosts must live there, or demons, or broken stairways that could crack at any moment beneath one's feet, sending one falling, falling into the abyss of what was once someone's well-loved cellar, now home to a scattering of vermin and of lost and forgotten things."[/i] Have you ever wanted to outsmart a demon? In Tell a Demon you can do that and much more. It's a visual novel game set in a 1920s styled fantasy world where the world was once ruled by an immortal Empress. Then it turned out that the Empress was not so immortal after all. her own courtiers had betrayed her, but now it was a hundred years after all of that took place. They always said the Empress casts a long Shadow, and now the Shadow of a dark empire hangs over your head. Face that lingering darkness from the perspective of three characters, Julius, Kalevel and Tell, whose stories are intertwining at each corner, making you choose what their fate brings them. Tell a Demon is definitely one of the more impressive visual novel games I've played. It's quite beautiful with it's differ…7 found this helpful
Follow three characters in an original world that’s similar but still very much different from ours. Disclaimer: Because most adult visual novels, or visual novels in general, use the same engine, I won't go into detail about the technical aspects. All you need to know is that it comes with the ability to save the game at any moment and skip every bit of text right from the start. Of course, using this feature for your first playthrough is not recommended because it defeats the entire purpose of visual novels. This game is actually a second part of a planned trilogy. While the first part is available for free from the developer’s website, the third part is still in development. It’s recommended to play the first part to get familiar with all the connections and characters. There are also several other smaller games that shine more light on some characters, but they’re not important to the bigger story. Another thing I recommend is that you turn off timed choices. If you leave them on, you will have to make a quick decision. Although this might make the experience better because you have to live with the choice, you can give yourself time if you prefer to take things slower. Th…3 found this helpful
Very good, the other reviews do a better job at explaining it all. And why it is so good, I just wanted to post a review so the game can get a higher score, and hopefully attract a bigger audience. Buy it!1 found this helpful
