If you are an angel roll three 1s on three 6-sided dice and you get a divine intervention. But roll three 6s and that's bad for you.
If you are with the other team, i.e. a demon, roll three 6s and lucifer comes to save you, but roll three 1s and you're toast.
Has anyone here played this thought-provoking rpg?

We played a session once, but the DM was pretty darned new, and his adventure was so transparent that we blasted through his plot hooks and secrets by the end of the session. He was so put-out that we never played again.
Of course, I love the concept (I blame the Prophecy movie completely) and ended up buying most of the books and supplements. I've read through all of it, and it's a fun game. Everything centers around the "symphony". Angels create harmony...demons create dissonance. Angels belong to Choirs, and angels report to different archangels. An angel's special abilities are called "songs".
One of my ideas for a new campaign setting in In Nominae was to pit the angels and demons against a "greater evil"...namely Lovecraftian Mythos. Sort of a "Hey! Your In Nominae is in my CoC! No! Your CoC is my In Nominae!"
Just one of my many ideas that I will never find time for....(the other was adapting the Matrix setting for Cyberpunk).

The great thing about rolling 111 or 666 is that it is the GM's call on how the divine or infernal intervention is going to play out. It's sort of a situational thing. So, a demon rolling 111 won't be "toast" but will likely see his efforts for that task be turned toward an outcome that benefits the divine. Most interventions are subtle.
On the other hand, any angel or demon can attempt to call in the archangel/demon prince they serve for assistance. The price they may pay for doing so, though...can be steep.

We played this game and we set it in the "real world" Philippines, which made it easier for all of us to visualize as we see the places our character went to everyday. It was focused on presidential elections of 1998 and some were for and others were against the winner and the players attempted to sway the result one way or the other. Lots of fun.
Thanks for the info, Lurker.
