There is a I really want to know what it is. I also played it on a PC magazine demo CD, possibly PC Gamer. I played it also in the mid to late 90s. This game is a 3D, third person role playing adventure game.
The graphics were quite good and the game began with a shot of the player in bed, a young elf or something like that, Its the morning and the player gets out of bed. The game starts with your mother asks you to go into the cellar and get something (I forget what it is, maybe some wine) but when you go down there I think there is something you pick up here and or a mirror you walk through that is a portal to somewhere else.
What I do remember is being inside a tree sometime after this and having enter a race with carts, against some fairies (or some similar magic people) and having to do laps around a small course that went round the middle of the tree. If you beat them you could continue on. I remember an indoor area with a locked gate and you had to find a key to open the gate, possibly in a church or similar like area, but I don't know which order that part came in, I think this area ended the demo.
One area I do remember is an outside area, a desert like place and you were on a cliff overlooking the desert. There were friendly monster like creatures here which you could talk to them (possibly had mouth tentacles like Cthulhu). I don't remember much else except there was something to do with an Ankh amulet, but when I search for games with Ankh amulets in them, I only get the PC game Ankh, which isn't it.
Another game I have been looking for, is one I have searched for over a year without finding it and have asked Yahoo Answers and some forums, but not much help, so it might be a bit obscure or didn't make it past a demo. One person I did ask said they might have heard of it, but didn't know what it was. I got it on a PC magazine CD, possibly PC Gamer, sometime in the 90s I think. As far as I remember, it is a DOS game (I think I played it on Windows 95 or 98) and was a demo on the CD. At first I thought it was called "Undying" or "Undead" but the only games I found with names like that were Clive Barker's Undying which I own and its defiantly not that.
From what I remember it was a first person horror game, similar to Blood, but it was much slower and the graphics looked better. You start in an underground cave/cavern area with the walls having a brownish cave wall texture. You had to exit this area. The weapons I remember using (or finding) in the game were a thin grey knife which made a single "swoosh" sound when you used it and a grey looking handgun which made a sloppy reload sound when you reloaded it. You could find ammo for the gun and medkits around and you frobbed them to pick them up. The weapons were right handed.I remember also these maggot creatures that were brown in color and only had a mouth full of teeth on their face and would jump up and bite you. When you got hurt, there was a low male "oooh" sound and the screen flashed red.
In one part of the underground cavern there was lava and I remember there was a leaver you pulled to move platforms up and down in this area. You had to jump across these before the platforms went into the lava and killed you. There was a part where the cavern/cave opened up into an outside area but with cave walls on the left and right. To get past this area there was one or two zombies and they wore blue dungerees and had a chainsaw. They moved slowly and when you got close to them, you could hear a single chainsaw sound.The next area you could reach in this game was a sewer like place with wooden doors you had to open and get through. Some required you find and pull leavers to open them. There was bats that attacked you here as wall as the odd brown maggot (I think). Whenever you exited the area, you were outside and it was night. There was a boss creature here you had to defeat (I don't remember what it was) and after you defeated it, you went up the hill to a mansion that was there. This is where the demo ended. I think the mansion was on the title screen, but not sure.
