NOTE: The following is subject to change due to overhaul in the game design and potential technology switch.
Before being imprisoned for eternity, Mephistopheles, the Lord of Darkness, put his sinister knowledge into several tomes which were scattered across the land. Many wicked souls were corrupted by the Devil and spent their lives searching for the wretched Tomes of Mephistopheles, to gain the knowledge of their unholy power. It has been foretold that the beholder of the Tomes will possess the greatest power known to mankind and will rule the world, but will corrupt it and leave it in ruins. The secret society known as the Deputies of Uriel dispatched its most skillful members to find the Tomes and destroy them at any cost. Will you fulfill your duty or succumb to the corruption of the Dark Lord ? Tomes of Mephistopheles is a first-person action-RPG dungeon crawler..
After many hours of hard work we are ready to present you with multiplayer-enabled Tomes of Mephistopheles!
