[[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/535046 Belial]] is a series of PointAndClick puzzle games in which you play as the demon Belial, the son of Lucifer and Eve, who has been sent to Earth by Satan after rebelling against him. Having lost most of his demonic assets (wings, tail, horns and powers), he must first retrieve them before returning to Hell. Depending on which ending you choose, you either go back to hell to recruit an army to overthrow Satan (which is the plot of the second game, [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/554373 Belial 2: Cause of Chaos]]), or explore your inner self to unleash the gigantic demon Baal ([[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/561191 Belial 2.5: the Beast Within]]).
