The game world is split between a town and a dungeon the former features guilds, a merchant, a morgue and several other locations, while the latter houses monsters, which must be destroyed during the course of the players' explorations. After the assault is quelled, the player is dispatched into the mines in an attempt to locate and destroy the primordial evil at its center. In Demise: Rise of the Ku'tan, Lord Gherrick's realm is attacked by demons emerging from the mines of Dejenol. The game features the same setting as Mordor: The Depths of Dejenol, which was also developed by designer David Allen.

Demise: Rise of the Ku'tan is a medieval fantasy role-playing video game released in 2000 for Microsoft Windows, developed by Artifact Entertainment and published by IPC Software.
