Others though serve other purposes in the story and can assist in keeping characters alive. Some items are purely functional: they help to see in the dark or unlock locked doors or drawers. This time around each character can find items, and sometimes even give them to others. And perhaps The Devil in Me is potentially laying the groundwork for what we can expect in future titles.Īnd this sense of “foundation-laying” is true in the new inventory system too. They simply act as traversal mechanics, and this is totally fine. No chase scene requiring mastery of these new moves for example. But, in reality, they never go further than that. This added fluidity makes the environments more interesting to explore and I found each action worked well as intended. A new movement overhaul means you’ll be shimmying through gaps, vaulting over obstacles, climbing, moving objects, balancing on beams, and even, yes, running if you so want for the first time.
So as we all collectively roll our eyes for our heroes, and think we’ve been here before, it’s worth noting what new additions The Devil in Me is bringing to the table. As you can imagine it doesn’t take long before things unravel for our crew, and they’re fighting for their lives. Charlie, blinded by ambition accepts, and they travel to this remote island and begin exploring, looking for shots and considering scripts. With the group at a loss in terms of direction for the episode, they get a phone call out of the blue from a man called Granthem Du’Met who claims to have recently inherited a replica hotel of the famous Murder Castle and invites them to use it for their episode. Holmes, who killed his victims in his Murder Castle – a hotel he ran full of traps and moving corridors – to hone his kills. For the finale, they’ve chosen USA’s first serial killer, H. The group is currently working on the season one finale of their Architects of Murder series, digging into famous killer cases. You have Charlie Lonnit, the owner and director, Mark the cameraman, Jamie in charge of lighting, Erin deals with audio and Kate is the leading presenter in front of the camera. Our band of five protagonists this time around are documentary filmmakers, that make up the small Lonnit Entertainment company. The Devil in Me certainly feels unique for a variety of reasons, but does it do enough to drive the Anthology forward? Now that people have had a chance to experience what the branching narrative titles from Supermassive Games are all about, it now becomes less about meeting expectations, and needs to be more about exceeding, and maybe even subverting them.
The danger with doing a series such as The Dark Pictures Anthology is that there’s a chance things could feel stale by the time the fourth installment, The Devil in Me arrives.
