1. Introduction
===================

Painkiller is an action-driven FPS (first person shooter) game set in a dark and sinister world somewhere between heaven and hell. You take on the role of Daniel Garner, a seemingly regular guy, who has just been killed in a horrific car accident. As you struggle to find the reasons why you've been denied entrance into heaven, you must fight against hordes of demonic soldiers in an attempt to stop an imminent holy war.

This demo features two battles from the third chapter of Painkiller.

To Play the Game:

1) Launch the Painkiller shortcut.

2) From the Main Menu select Sign the Pact.

3) Select your difficulty level.

4) Use the map instrument to select the "City on Water" or "Ruins" level.

5) Select the crimson crystal to begin.

You can also adjust various settings like controls, video settings, and game options of the Main Menu under the Options selection.

4. Performance
===================

Painkiller requires both good CPU and Graphics processing power for an optimum playing experience. If you find your framerate to be too low, please adjust your video settings under the Options Menu. Dropping texture quality levels for the game architecture, sky, characters, and weapons to lower levels, as well as the overall graphics resolution will help achieve improved game performance.
