I clocked my full run at around 10 hours, though I did reload backup saves to check out different outcomes. Characters feel more unique due to their tools/light sources, the atmosphere is highly unsettling, and the campaign is longer. It has everything you’ve come to know and love if you’re a veteran of the series, as well as new additions that improve the gameplay. Overall, I still feel that The Devil in Me might be one of the best offerings from Supermassive.
The finale and endings are certainly not as action-packed as House of Ashes, but it won’t leave you disappointed like The Quarry‘s conclusion, at the very least. Then, just like a B-movie, it falters toward the end, and you’ll notice sloppy cuts, improbable choices, and hokey incidents. These are unlocked using obols, black coins that are fairly well hidden.Īnother problem I’ve seen is how the majority of the story has a tight narrative and stellar presentation. Also, you’ll obtain dioramas, which are basically static renditions of moments in the campaign. Several of these have their own cinematic flashbacks or reports, akin to what you’ve seen from House of Ashes‘ archaeologist digs. The premonitions, pictures that depict a fateful encounter or someone’s death, are still around, as are news clippings and odd objects considered secrets. Of course, as with other games in the series, The Devil in Me is brimming with collectibles. Fail the important ones, and they’d meet an untimely demise. Succeed in these, and your characters might live to see another day. One new addition is the “hide” mechanic, where you have to run to a location and hold a button to stay out of sight.
There are lots of quick-time events (QTEs) as expected, such as pressing/mashing buttons, aim-and-shoot, and the “Don’t Breathe” mini-game. While you’d normally move around with your characters, various scenes will play, allowing you to choose dialogue responses. Veterans of The Dark Pictures Anthology will be familiar with the core gameplay mechanics.
