There are two interesting features to the game: the three different camera angles and the two possible characters. All this action takes place on the grounds and inside the spooky gothic mansion that you are investigating. For instance, some pressure pads that open doors do not become visible until you are right on top of them. For those of you who are staying to read this through, then take heed that this type of gameplay can be a little tiresome and some of the puzzles aren't exactly what you would call obvious. Of course if this is your sort of thing then you'll probably be putting on your coat and heading down to the shops already. Much like the Resident Evil series, the game is about solving puzzles, pulling levers, and getting keys to open doors, punctuated with the odd gunfight with zombies that rise out of the floor, fall from the ceiling, and burst out of cupboards in the least dramatic way possible. The variety of undead is the only thing that will keep you interested in the game. So the game gets easier, except for a few set-piece super hard zombies. During your first encounter, there are only about five of them, so surely it would have been logical to increase the volume as the game progressed.

To top things off, the zombies come in such numbers that it is hard to see the threat. More tension building is required because as soon as you walk through the door, you are pumping bullets into the undead. This has to be the main complaint about the game: it is too quick to introduce the zombies. I was lead to believe that the game would be spooky, not an out and out zombie splatter-fest. The game starts off with Dave outside a mansion house that he is about to investigate. In many respects the game is very similar to the Alone in the Dark games, especially when you use the spy-cam with its Resident Evil perspective. The game was made by the Alone in the Dark maestro, Hubert Chardot, whose games inspired the Resident Evil series. Apparently, she's the sexiest devil you will ever see! He can, through the use of certain change points, turn into the demonic Deva who has a hot body and the power to zap people with her mystical blasts. You play the star of the show, Dave Cooper, a copper turned journalist of the bizzare cable TV show. The Devil Inside is the name of a television show hosted by the amusingly named Jack T Ripper. Films have done it countless times, none more popularly than Paul Glaser's The Running Man. The Devil Inside is probably the first commercial game to satirize violence in the media.
