  • Summary: Anyone can kill the devil; that's why they always make teens the vampire slayers, the magical girls. But some kids can't even get that right; and that's why meangirl Neptune, tomboy Jupiter, and shy shy Venus have to endure one more week of summer camp and each other, singing boring songsAnyone can kill the devil; that's why they always make teens the vampire slayers, the magical girls. But some kids can't even get that right; and that's why meangirl Neptune, tomboy Jupiter, and shy shy Venus have to endure one more week of summer camp and each other, singing boring songs about jesus, doing busywork for adults, and hoping god's radio can't hear them.

    Before they can leave the summer scouts, they've got to spend twelve hours in the loneliest cabin in the woods and wait for the devil to come and live through the night--or not. You know.

    Two will become closer, but what will happen to the one left out?

    A visual novel set in a surreal summer camp dystopia. Follow three teens as they become friends and prepare to fight the real, actual devil.

    It’s a wonderful, heart wrenching experience that’s honestly opened my eyes to a whole new world of exciting storytelling possibilities.

    I really, really want to love We Know the Devil, but as it stands it takes some excellent ideas and executes them poorly. It's worth pickingI really, really want to love We Know the Devil, but as it stands it takes some excellent ideas and executes them poorly. It's worth picking up, especially if you have a personal investment in some of the themes regarding social interaction and group dynamics which it discusses, but it doesn't raise any especially interesting questions that aren't better handled by other fiction. I at least hope that We Know the Devil can be a stepping stone and an inspiration for some to dig deeper into important questions for themselves, so I guess that in of itself has merit.
    If you're interested solely in entertainment value, and don't have a particular reason for exploring this abstract sort of horror, there are probably more appropriate options available.
