Sure, a twisted and deadly one for sure, but compared to what the other entries in the series go with in their premises, this one manages to up the ante by having an actual flesh and bone human element behind everything that goes on in it, which makes it all the more scary, honestly. However, unlike what we’ve come to expect from modern horror games such as recently reviewed The Chant, The Devil in Me is very grounded in reality. You get to control every one of them as your adventure progresses, and start to lose them the more of them you let die over the course of the game. Much like The Quarry, the game is split among five different protagonists, each with their unique set of skills and personalities. It doesn’t take much for the group to jump at the opportunity given their absolute crap show of a documentary, and thus, The Devil in Me starts sinking its teeth into you.

Holmes, who’s reportedly responsible for over 200 deaths in his heinous career.įast-forward to current times, we meet an unlucky crew of documentarians who just happen to be filming about Holmes when they get a call from a mysterious benefactor eager to invite them to his remote recreation of Holmes’ so-called Murder Castle, the very same hotel from the opening moments of the game, a place he built himself that’s full of all manner of death traps, disguised as a hotel. Things go by in quite well, at first, as they meet the hotel’s manager and get to their room, until, well, they are violently murdered by none else than the country’s real-life first ever serial killer, H.H. The game starts with a honeymooning couple checking into a hotel in 19th century Chicago in order to attend the World’s Fair.

By all accounts, it’s a great thriller with a healthy dose of horror in the same mold of The Quarry, only a little more grounded in reality. It marks the end of what developer Supermassive Games calls its first season after a surprisingly regular release of entries in the span of three years, starting with Man of Medan back in 2019.Īnd after having a pretty good time with the studio’s teenage horror flick adventure The Quarry earlier this year, I was anxious to dive into their popular anthology with this latest entry. The Devil in Me is my first time playing one of the games in The Dark Pictures Anthology.
