The fourth installment of the Dark Pictures Anthology will be released on November 18 for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
The devil in me is the story of a group of filmmakers making a documentary about American serial killers. They are lured to a remote island hotel and ambushed by someone inspired by the original American serial killer, HH Holmes.
With every new Dark Pictures game, we love to listen to fan feedback and add new gameplay features and refinements. Of The devil in mepresenting a series of new exploration actions that enhance and enrich the experience of exploring the eerie hotel environment created by the team here at Supermassive Games.
You can climb walls and jump over obstacles, jump through holes in collapsed floors, slide over narrow ledges and balance over beams or fallen trees. You can crouch through broken walls and crawl under broken machines, and if there is danger, you can hide. And characters can now run as well as walk, so you can explore at your own pace.
It’s an intuitive system that gamers will be familiar with, and it fits well with our existing Dark Pictures gameplay. It makes exploring the detailed world of The devil in me more immersive and interesting as you look for hidden routes and hidden areas where you can find the secrets or tools that will increase your chances of survival. And tools are another new feature. Characters have an easy-to-use inventory in which they can store tools or objects they find in the world.
Each of the five playable characters has a tool specific to their role on the documentary film crew. For example, Mark, the director of photography, has a camera that allows him to collect evidence of the crimes they encounter. And Erin, an audio engineer, has a directional microphone that allows her to listen to conversations through walls and pick up sounds the team would otherwise miss. There is a strong tradition of abhorring using unusual viewpoints and technology to disturb viewers and amplify the terror. And we think the sequence of Erin using her microphone to follow a series of escalating horrific noises down the winding hotel corridors is one of the scariest we’ve ever made.
Finally, we’ve introduced some light puzzle mechanics in The devil in me. The hotel is full of traps, moving walls and mysterious rooms, so it’s perfectly suited for head-scratching gameplay. Think about the kind of puzzles you may have encountered in Resident Evil or Silent Hill games. You’ll search for secret codes, move things around to find new routes, work your way out of escape rooms, and rewire antique fuse boxes. The puzzles fit perfectly into the crumbling, oppressive environment of the Island Hotel. And whether you solve them or not matters. Characters can live or die, depending on whether you find the solution.
It delivers an exciting package of new features that deepen and enhance the gameplay of the Dark Pictures Anthology and give players greater control over how they dodge and tackle the deranged killer playing with them. But The devil in me still delivers the core elements our fans love: cinematic horror, impossible dilemmas, terrifying fears and horrific deaths.
The team here at Supermassive Games is working very hard to put the finishing touches on the game, and we can’t wait for you to play it. The devil in me launches for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on November 18, 2022 and is available for pre-order now on the Xbox Store.
