The Pain Demon is one of the Occult Club demons that can be interacted with through the Demonic Ritual.
Appearance[]
The Pain Demon stands between the Flame Demon and Lust Demon, directly in front of Ayano Aishi when she enters the Demon Realm. He resembles a bald humanoid with pale skin, though somewhat larger than Ayano. His eyes are black, his jaw is stretched widely, and his neck is extended far forward. His arms are small stubs and his legs are bent in a crouching posture.
Gameplay[]
...was innocent...no crime... ...found guilty...given punishment... ...arms removed...body contorted... need justice...need revenge... descendants must feel...what I felt...
When walking up to the Pain Demon, the player is given an option to commune with him. His text appears white on the screen, and it shakes vigorously. Press the E key for the text to pass quickly. If Ayano communes with him again, he will repeat exactly the same lines he did before. As of the March 3rd, 2016 Build, he has a scratchy voice.
Pain Demon's Ritual[]
- Main article: Demonic Ritual
To activate it, Ayano must kill five NPCs with the Ritual Knife, dismember the dead NPCs and drop their arms inside of the ring of candles in the Occult Clubroom. The screen will then go black, with shaking white words that say, "...revenge...at last...".
After that, ten bloody, white hands will rise from the ground around Ayano, who no longer has pupils and will start to levitate. The hands will always surround her as she can fly in any direction. Any NPC - other than Taro Yamada, and NPCs without AI - that comes into contact with the hands will immediately be dismembered, giving a strangled cry of pain.
Burning Love[]

The Pain Demon makes a minor appearance in the visual novel. The Flame Demon explains that he does nothing but mutter about the last few hours of his life as a human.
According to the visual novel, he discarded his humanity in exchange for great power and to embrace demonhood. He communed with a demon, and the demon found him worthy. After performing a great sacrifice, the demon granted him the power the Pain Demon desired.
