    Using a fresh and unexplored background to tell its story, Devotion brings us into a deep atmosphere, full of Taiwanese myths and traditions. Unfortunately, the second part of this short game isn't as good and immersive as the first one.

    An insidious, combat-free horror escapade that works marvels in a tiny space - and an intricate portrait of family and superstition. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    Devotion is beautiful and mesmerizing, contorting mundanities into menaces. Transforming a simple story about a family into something so haunting and complex is what keeps me trudging forward — even as my fear of the truth grows with every step I take. Though I’m always afraid to, I still make it to the other end of the hallway, knowing that I’m already steeped in the mounting horrors that this game so successfully provides.

    More than just dread, Devotion’s use of paraphernalia also helps to convey the emotional weight of Fengyu’s family tragedy.

    It’s a scary, sad, messed-up place. And I’m very grateful for the stay.

    This is a horror game with poetic but bitter story. As a father who have a daughter, I left my tears while looking at the Ending scenes.

    The art and music in this game are epic. Atmosphere is quite good because the designer bring the whole 1980s life style in Taiwan into the game.
    The only flaw is the loading time. When you open the doors that represents different years, it takes you loading for a while, which seems like a technical problem that should not exist in modern games (I am not a game programmer, maybe it's a trade off for poor equipment players ).

    By the way, don't care about negative comments about political issues. It all begin with an easter egg make fun of Xi, JinPing (President of the China ), and we all know what problems China have.    … Full Review »

    Good horror game with great art and amazing sound performance! There are no complex puzzles, long and boring explorations. Conversely, justGood horror game with great art and amazing sound performance! There are no complex puzzles, long and boring explorations. Conversely, just right length of play time so that you can taste the implied story but do not lose your fear.
