Devils

Enter the Stylish World of Devils

Devils is a narrative strategy game set against the vibrant backdrop of a stylized Barcelona. Engage in a unique experience where you manage a team of devils tasked with the negotiation of afterlife labor from humans. With a deadline looming over your massive debt, each decision can change your fate and that of your devilish crew.

Navigate Neighborhoods with Strategic Decisions

The gameplay revolves around managing a small team of devils, each equipped with distinct strengths and weaknesses. From a richly illustrated 2D map, players assign their devils to locations throughout the city. Choosing where each devil goes impacts negotiation outcomes, creating a strategy-heavy layer to the experience. The city itself feels alive with potential targets waiting for your persuasive touch.

Engage in Dice-Based Negotiation Mechanics

When a devil approaches a human target, players face a series of negotiation events steeped in dice roll mechanics. Selecting how your devil interacts opens up dialogue options that can lead to varied outcomes. Success not only rewards you with trinkets to modify future interactions but is crucial for the survival of your underworld organization.

Make Choices that Matter in Human Encounters

Each encounter with humans involves careful selection and strategy, with three candidates presenting different traits and context clues. Players must read between the lines and make informed choices to sway negotiations effectively. Early decisions set the stage for the deal, influencing everything from soul years exchanged to the contract’s acceptance.

Relationship Building in the Break Room

Between the daily challenges, you return to the break room where devil bonding occurs. Upgrading capabilities shapes your crew's potential for success in negotiations. Each devil’s abilities affect dice rolls, allowing customization of strategies over time. Upgrades come with their own challenges and rewards, maintaining the game's dynamic pace.

Switch Up Mechanics with Night Hunts

At night, your objectives shift dramatically. Instead of charming humans, devils engage in combat with unstable creatures that threaten Hell's operations. This element brings combat mechanics into play, utilizing the same core system but focusing on the thrill of elimination and strategy. Failure here can carry penalties that affect the next day, ensuring every choice feels consequential.

A Concise Campaign with Varied Endings

Devils offers a linear narrative campaign that unfolds over approximately five hours of gameplay. With multiple endings based on your choices and performance across daily challenges, players are encouraged to explore different strategies. Your journey through Barcelona's shadowy corners will reveal the nuanced narratives that change with each playthrough.
