The Dark Angael, Carina, must defend the world against Azrael and his army of demons. She has a number of superpowers to find and utilize including Mutator, Psychic Attack, Reflection, Teleport Coin and Energy Wave.

Dark Angael was the company's first original game, as Synnergist has been created on commission by British publisher 21st Century. The game has elaborate detail including lengthy scripts, a detailed storyline, original music, actor-spoken dialogue, video segments, and impressive graphics. Altogether, the game took up a space of as much as 100 million bytes of space, and cost $250,000 to produce in total. Guha Bala, President of Vicarious Visions, said "It's a thrill when you know you're working on something like that...[we] get a charge out of writing [gamed] that push the limits of technology". The game went on sale at the company's website in October 1997, and was distributed electronically by gaming magazines. A French-language version of the game was created and published in various French-speaking nations such as France, French-speaking Africa, Belgium, Canada and Switzerland. A German version was also set to debut February 1998. At the time of the game's release, Vicarious Visions had "seven full-time employees and squadron of contractors".
