Game
You assume the role of cultists who are visiting a haunted location. As you explore, you discover that an immortal demon is hunting you. To survive the night, you must locate cursed objects and burn them to halt the demon's pursuit.
Currently, the game features only four maps. The gameplay itself is relatively repetitive and straightforward. However, despite these factors, we find ourselves captivated and engrossed in the game. After a few play sessions, we still often find ourselves hiding, sneaking, and screaming in terror, strategizing to evade the horrors that await us. Moreover, the game's affordable price adds to its appeal, resulting in a favorable score.
Co-op
Devour has been designed from the ground up to provide a great cooperative experience. Instead of relying on external VOIP programs like Discord, the in-game voice chat feature is highly recommended. The proximity voice chat adds a unique shine to the cooperative gameplay, enhancing immersion and communication between players.
Although the game can be played with different player counts, it is recommended to be 3-4 players.
