Serving as the season one finale in Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco Entertainment’s The Dark Pictures Anthology franchise, the doors to a Murder Hotel have opened to a group of unsuspecting filmmakers in The Devil in Me. The game is now available to purchase digitally and (on consoles) physically for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox One and Windows PC (via Steam).
This standalone story from the other chapters follows a group of low-budget documentary creators from Lonnit Entertainment, who have checked in to a recreation of the World’s Fair Hotel built by American serial killer, H.H. Holmes. Lured there with the promise of something truly unique, that might just boost the ratings of their “true-crime show”, things take a turn for the worse. The fate of these filmmakers are in your hands, who will have to make impossible decisions under pressure, while their murderous host watches their every move.
The Devil in Me boasts a number of gameplay improvements to its predecessors. Characters can now “climb, jump, crawl and run through exploration areas that are larger and more complex than ever”, and make use of the “new inventory system and special character tools at the right moment” to potentially bring this tale to a happy… or at least a less bitter ending.
