WorthPlaying.com has tossed up a short review on Raimage's Adventure title, Daemonica. Scoring a 7.5/10, this puppy might be worth a look. Anyways, here's a snippet on the game's storyline:

Minus the flippant tone of my description, this is basically the crux of Daemonica. You play Nicholas Farepoynt (yes, that is actually how it's spelled), a medieval "beast hunter" whose lot in life is to seek the truth behind violent crimes by ritualistically killing himself via poison in order to travel to the afterlife and question the souls of the victims involved in the crimes. To do this, Mr. Farepoynt must speak the words of demons, commanding them to lead him through the labyrinth of death to the spirits he seeks to commune with. As you can imagine, this is an extremely risky line of work to be involved in, but the lack of forensic sciences leaves the beast hunter the last resort for desperate mayors who're in over their heads.
