The Devil in Me offers a refreshed, creepy take on The Dark Pictures games. Our hands-on preview:
The Dark Pictures Anthology from Supermassive Games has always made for a creepy experience, but The Devil in Me looks to up that spook factor to a new level. The same could be said about any new chapter – why would anyone want to go backwards? – though The Devil in Me offers a different sort of experience by cutting back on the supernatural elements in favor of the more horrifying potential of human-based terror.
But someone in the Murder Hotel is playing deadly games. Like any good murder mystery, The Devil in Me keeps its killer masked and in the shadows, but that's somehow more unsettling than specters, wendigos, and other unsettling creatures we've seen in past games.
As far as the cast goes, Dark Pictures games always have their standouts, and in The Devil in Me, it's looking like that's Gloria Obianyo as Jamie so far. Jamie offers a refreshingly realistic and practical view of things in The Devil in Me with Obianyo nailing the delivery each time. Paul Kaye as the resented leader Charlie comes in at a close second, but everyone in the game so far is offering a compelling take on their respective characters.
The return of the scene selection feature is therefore a boon for situations like this. I love the fact that these games have so many possible endings and outcomes, but I've no desire to replay the game over and over again to see all of these. The scene selection feature therefore offers an express route to viewing the results of your stressful decisions and has already proven immensely useful in corroborating decisions during the limited preview of The Devil in Me.
