Devil Whiskey is a role-playing game in the tradition of the classic Bard's Tale games. Players create characters in the Adventurer's Hall, drawing from nine races and eleven basic classes, to create a party of up to eight adventures. After being recruited and outfitted, the party ventures forth through the Isle of Orkney exploring dungeons and combating opponents.

While players navigate through Orkney from a first-person perspective, Devil Whiskey uses 2D graphics for characters and locations and most of the game plays out through text commands. Early versions rely solely on keyboard commands, but later versions include mouse support.
