First of, thanks for popping in here to help me out. :) As hard as I try, I can't find any information anywhere, so time to pick a few Escapist brains.

Ok so, way back in the mid or so 90s, there was a PC game I used to play the f#^% out of; it was a demo I believe, and it was violent, very violent. You could dismember and behead with melee weapons, at least I think they were melee, and part of me remembers that the weapon was something like a halberd, spear or scythe but I can't be certain. The game was in first person I think, it could have been third person though. The setting was medieval, lots of wooden supports and concrete with grey and brown colors to go along with all the blood; though I remember something red and blue in the HUD; possibly health bar and something else?

Your enemies were undead I think.

You start on a dock, I remember that quite clearly, possibly at night? With buildings forward of you and a large metal gate I think. Inside the gate is a courtyard with your first enemy or two and a fire in the middle I recall.

After this level I think the game demo takes you to another cave type level, bats being your enemy I think.
I remember there being lots of high variation in where you could go. Up in the buildings upper floors and down to the concrete roads and courtyard floors perhaps, but I just remember ups and downs in movements in gameplay. Lots of wooden beams and, possibly crates as well.

Ok I need to give my brain a rest, it's like trying to cup water in my hands with holes drilled though them. I realize this isn't much to go on, so massive thanks in advance for any suggestions that you might come up with. :)

I think I know this one. You're after "Heretic 2", if my own childhood recollections of that demo are anything to go by. Wouldn't bother with the game itself though, it runs out of steam almost as soon as you leave the city, alas.

Yes Outline! YES YES YES! I think you're right! After looking it up, I you indeed start on a dock and I remember him saying: This isn't right, where is everyone? Thank you so much good sir. How did you manage to guess what it was from my description? What rang your bells?

Honestly? Having the same search as you a couple of years back ;). Sometimes the nostalgia bug bites hard, eh? (A lovely coincidence though. Guess it goes to show the importance of a game having a strong opening impression)

Anyway, glad to have been able to assist.
