The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me: The most different narrative horror game of the franchise
Since Until Dawn, Supermassive Games has decided to go with The Dark Pictures Anthology, which features several games that follow the narrative terror line, each with its own history. The devil in me is being considered by many, as the strongest so far, remembering a little of Until Dawn. Also, it seems that this title has defined the company's style and gives us a sense of how it will follow in the future.
At the moment, the big titles are remakes, or games inspired by previous successes. There is an increasing concentration of franchises at Sony or Microsoft, and it's hard to get out of the standard creating something that is successful with the public without depending on realities known to consumers.
Narrative games reach a large audience
This is where companies come in, but not massive like Supermassive Games, which opts for something different from the others, which is to create an anthology of horror games.
Regularly, from time to time, a new product is launched after its original success, Until Dawn. Narrative adventures of terror in which our decisions and some small ITES dictate what will happen next. Let's list:
- 2019-The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan
- 2020-The Dark Pictures: Little Hope
- 2021-The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes
In addition to these titles, there is the interesting Hidden Intentions experiment for PS4 that was played cooperatively with mobile phones or the latest the Quarry, a similar but not belonging to Anthology and was released this year after negotiations for its publication.
Therefore, in the same year of 2022, two games were released by Supermassive. And it is with him that the circle closes, because if we had marine terrors, nightmares and even monsters in the Iraq war, The Devil in Me is based on a real crime.
The Hotel do Terror
In a prologue centered in the late nineteenth century, we are presented with HH Holmes's of the horrors hotel. This character, who existed in real life, built a hotel in Chicago like a dungeon.
Walls that close, windows to see the customers, a gas shower or a torture room. In the first playable moments we see a situation that guests would have gone precisely.
After that, we moved to the present. A team of documentary artists is preparing a documentary about H.H. Holmes, and when they get a call inviting them to spend a weekend at a hotel created in their image and likeness. The plot is what is expected of the formula of The Dark Pictures.
Despite voice acting, certain animations and very robotic look errors, or a very stereotyped design, the reality is that it can follow with its proposal, inging a narrative terror quite different from other anthology titles.
