The Devil in Me (affiliate link) is the 4th game in The Dark Pictures Anthology, and also season 1 finale of the series. The game was released in 2022, and I was surprised to find out that the next installment hasn't come out yet. Season two opener, Directive 8020, will be released in 2025.
What I don't like about The Devil in Me is the fact that the game makes us believe - multiple times - that some character has died, when in reality they have not.
After playing the incinerator scene I thought I had made the wrong choice. That because of my stupidity I had killed Charlie. That if I had any brain cells left I would have remembered something from earlier gameplay, and used that "knowledge" to save Charlie from death. But I was so wrong. This game fools you.
The Devil in Me: Door or grate?
How to survive the furnace as Charlie in the fire room?
To keep Charlie alive you have to choose the option GRATE twice. If you choose the door twice Charlie will die.
Even if you choose GRATE twice the game will make you believe that Charlie didn't survive. Don't be fooled by this like I was. Later it will be revealed that Charlie is alive.
Conveyor belt: Turn back or hide?
If you choose to turn back Charlie will die. So hiding is the right choice.
But the most important thing in The Devil in Me is of course to save the dog.
And the best ending is the one where only the dog survives.
