5 | You play as Dave, a SuperSoldier-slash-OccultDetective who fights his way through a HauntedHouse infested with [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombies]]... [-[[DeadlyGame ON LIVE TELEVISION!]]-] That's right, there is actually a cameraman who transmits your exploits live to the studio, an anchorman who keeps commenting on them and cracking morbid jokes, and even a live audience that cheers for you. For extra FanService, Dave can at certain points call upon and transform into his eponymous devil inside, the [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus Deva]]. |

9 | !!The game provides examples of: |
10 | * BrassBalls: Dave carries a virtual arsenal on his body and has the power of transforming into a devil. Your cameraman has... well, a camera. Guess whose balls are bigger. |
11 | * DeadlyGame: It's Dave and Deva versus a house full of very real zombies and demons, broadcast live for the audiences at home. |
12 | * EscortMission: Subverted: Although you do have to protect your cameraman from the zombies, they will not target him specifically and even if they do, another cameraman will soon replace him. |
13 | * FanService: InUniverse, the viewers definitely prefer Deva to Dave. |
14 | * GenderBender: Dave's eponymous "devil inside" is a female demon named Deva. |
15 | * HauntedHouse: The first stage of the game is set in and around an abandoned house populated by zombies and demons. |
16 | * HotAsHell: Deva is damn good-looking, even for the time's graphics. |
17 | * HyperspaceArsenal: Dave's. Deva averts it by using magical spells. |
18 | * MeaningfulName: Jack T. Ripper, the host. |
19 | * OurZombiesAreDifferent: Lots of subtypes of them here, some a lot nastier than others. |
20 | * OccultDetective: Dave seems to specialize on this kind of jobs. |
21 | * ShowWithinAShow: And you are part of both. |
22 | * SurvivalHorror: Though it's much easier to survive with all the guns you find than in most specimen of the genre. |
23 | * VideoGameCaringPotential: Seriously, can you ''really'' let your silent companion, the Cameraman, be mauled to death by zombies? |
24 | ** VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Yes. Repeatedly. |
