The object
Screenshots and demos were created by Marek Forray. The game was released as Shadow of the Devils in late 1996 " after many struggles". According to a 2016 retrospective by Riki, "there was some personal conflict between the authors and the publisher that lead to this disappointing release". The game's skoopy house set pieces were designed by Milan Blazicek, while Marek Forray created the second half hell-like environments. The game features one tune repeated.

Critical reception
Riki wrote that upon release, the game was "unfinished, unpolished, and very basic". Riki wrote in a 2016 retrospective, "it is hard to believe that someone actually really released this game for Amiga in this state and honestly believed it would be a success in 1996". Amiga Review felt it was a game with interesting ideas that weren't properly executed.
