About This Game

Very dangerous alliances are being forged between the wrong demons.

City of Dolorosa is an interactive fiction and first-person exploration game that blends walking simulator and visual novel elements.

Set in a city of Hell inhabited by bizarre demons, you will be caught up in a battle for power, with several possible endings.
