![]() One note is that there isn’t a scaled difficulty to make things easier if you’re playing alone, or with less than four people. The flashlight’s UV light setting is the only weapon you have to burn summoned demons and calm Anna down during her rampages, otherwise the name of the game is gathering resources and pushing your way through as quickly as possible. All of this is in order to banish the demon possessing Anna, who all the while is pursuing you and your party with ever increasing tenacity. You wander around some claustrophobic environments, have a flashlight as your only tool for light and defense, and must collect thirty macguffins in total ten bales of hay to lure in goats, ten goats to sacrifice at an altar, and ten gas canisters to light the goats ablaze to complete the ritual sacrifice. In that regard, I feel the game is a massive success, and sort of forgives the minimal story.įrom a gameplay perspective, DEVOUR is very similar to other “find and collect” horror games, like the Slender series of games and its various clones. But this is a game where the story is absolutely secondary the focus is instead placed upon the gameplay, and the horror you and your friends find yourselves trapped within. Lore and gameplay instructions are combined into journal entries left behind by a pre-possession Anna, and tell the story of her slow descent. ![]() It’s now up to you and up to three friends to complete a ritual to banish the demon, survive, and avoid being dragged to hell by the possessed cult leader. The ritual worked, and Anna has been possessed. Anna went missing following the completion of a ritual intended to connect her with the cult’s patron, the demon Azazel. ![]() You take on the role of one of four cultists, who have ventured to an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere searching for your cult’s leader, Anna. The story of DEVOUR is quite simple, but gets the job done to kick off the experience. This is what led me to discovering DEVOUR on Steam, a brand new cooperative experience where survival and exorcising a deranged cult leader is the name of the game! Being an aficionado for horror, and wanting to play something new with friends, picking it up was an easy decision, and one that I’ve come to enjoy every minute of. In my experience, it’s been a major way to stay connected with some friends who don’t live in the same city as me and as a result I’m constantly poking around to see what new offerings look interesting enough to pick up. With the entire world locked down thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s no wonder that the popularity of co-op games are on the rise.
