Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this action-adventure game, players control the resurrected antihero Spawn, who has been damned to the Darklands by the demon Malebolgia. To save thirteen kidnapped children—including his own stepdaughter—from a renegade Crusader, Spawn must navigate dangerous rooftops, an asylum, and the depths of the underworld. Players must battle demonic enemies and manage Spawn's limited magical powers to retrieve the Orb of Purity before his eternal soul is forfeit.
Story
You Have Died... And Shall Die A Second Time
You are Al Simmons. Or at least you used to be. Of that much you're certain, even though your memory continues to play sadistic games with your consciousness. But Al was your name. That's what your wife, Wanda, called you. That's what your friends in the government's security and spy biz called you.
Friends. Yeah, right. With friends like that, who needs assassins?
A couple of well-directed rounds from one of your closest friends cost you your life and thrust you into the deepest pits of the Darklands! Now you remember! That's where that scum-sucking evil of all Evils, Malebolgia, transformed you into his horrific plaything, his agent of evil on Earth.
His Spawn.
You thought you had a deal, to live again so you could see your wife. But no deal with Malebolgia is made without a price. The price to you is torture. Malebolgia gave you infinite powers, then limited their supply. When they're gone, your eternal soul is his.
To use your powers to prevent evil is to place your soul closer to Malebolgia's ownership. To keep your soul, you must withhold those powers—which simply amounts to standing by and allowing evil to flourish. Either way, Malebolgia is pleased. It's a horrible dilemma, one that mercilessly tears your being to shreds.
You think it can't get any worse than this. You're wrong.
Innocence Held Hostage
You and I have had our problems in the past, Spawn, but it's time to set those aside. There's a renegade Crusader loose, The Mad One, and he's already set into motion a plan that must be stopped—now!
The Mad One has kidnapped 13 children, and captured their innocence within an Orb Of Purity. He hopes to use the Orb to destroy Malebolgia—once and forever.
The children are still alive, but barely. Without their life essence, they exist only as human vegetables. They can be saved, but The Mad One has already taken the Orb and entered The Darklands, where I cannot go. That is why you must stop him.
That, and one other reason: One of the 13 children is your stepdaughter, Cyan.
Simmons, you poor, pathetic fool! You actually think you can do anything about this? Do you actually think Cyan is not a part of all this for a greater reason? You continue to amuse me, my pet Spawn! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Brutality On The Rooftops
Well, well, well. Al Simmons, Spawn, whatever you want to call yourself. Clear the rooftops. Have yourself a party. It all begins here. For you, however, it's the beginning of the end!
Spawn, you haven't any choice! You have to do something to help save those children! Because if you don't, then ... then ... it's too horrible to even contemplate!

Bedlam At The Institute For The Criminally Insane
Three levels of Bedlam, Spawn, three more opportunities to squander your soul. And if you're lucky, very lucky, you may get to meet my good friend, Violator!
•
SECURITY ANDROIDS DISPATCHED!
•
ALL INMATES, RETURN TO YOUR CELLS IMMEDIATELY!
I believe The Butcher is looking for a little bit of a snack, Spawn, but that's barely the beginning of what you ought to be worried about: Step right up and feast on my smorgasbord of evil!

Descent Into The Darklands
If you can survive eight levels of The Darklands, Spawn, I will be... well, entertained, at least, if not actually impressed. Say hello to my lava demons, my flying gargoyles, my delightful creatures of rock, armor, and flame. This is the Burning Circle... and this is just the first level of the demonic Darklands!
Should you survive Eden's Reflection, it will be our distinct pleasure to invite you into our torture chamber!
Be careful, Spawn! I can't enter The Darklands, but I know the dangers all too well: Beware Eden's Reflection and the demons' torture chambers! But don't give up: You must retrieve the Orb! You must rescue the innocence of those 13 children!
