Devotion Is a Chilling and Intelligent Psychological Horror.

Andy Kelly
Family Matters

Taking place across seven years, Devotion is a psychological horror game set in a single apartment in 1980s Taiwan. As you progress through it, this claustrophobic living space shifts around you and tells the fragmented story of a family who once lived there.

In one fragment it’ll be warm, cosy, and lived in. In another, moving boxes sit unpacked as a crackling radio plays a Taiwanese pop song. The attention to detail, and the fidelity of the environment, is incredible. Grubby textures, atmospheric lighting, and convincing piles of clutter make for an impressively realistic setting. Despite being developed by a small team, Devotion has the production values of something made by a much bigger studio – albeit in a confined space.
