Book(?) Quest - We Know The Devil
May. 20th, 2020 02:58 pmSo, We Know The Devil is a visual novel, so I feel like it should probably count as some sort of book like entity? It is the most recent long-ish form thing I read. (I kinda... inhaled it in two sittings. It's good.)
We Know The Devil is a visual novel about three teens sent to a summer camp for "bad" kids... where the aim is for them to meet and defeat the Devil. It's pretty easy to defeat the Devil if you try, and its ~character building~. I don't want to say much more-- while it's not ruined if you get spoiled, it's certainly better if you go in blind bar checking for triggers. It's a fun psychological-religious horror game with some killer dialogue.
In this game, you don't get to control what the characters say, but every so often there is a situation where only two of the three characters can do something, and you can pick which two. The ending you get depends on which pair spends the most time together. (I highly recommend playing all the routes, they're all very good. And the game is short enough that me playing through all the routes only took three hours or so.)
Also, all the characters are queer, so that's good to. (I'm not going to go into specifics, because spoilers.)
But if you like teenaged disasters, dialogue that whips between hilarious and poignant, psychological horror, and dream logic Protestantism-- there's a fair chance you'll like.
And despite only finishing it yesterday, I've already made some fan art for it! (Which I've put under a cut, because it is spoilers for Venus' ending.)
