I wanted to announce that my game with mammonmachinezeal and datenighto, WE KNOW THE DEVIL, has finally been released! 

WE KNOW THE DEVIL is a short horror visual novel about relationship dynamics, growing pains, queer isolation, summer camp, and The Devil. 

It’s something like an OTP simulator: instead of playing as one character, you pick which two you want to see pair off for different tasks and watch them bond while they try to get through their last week of bullshit delinquent kid summer camp. Maybe you want to see what happens when popular tomboy Jupiter deals with shy Venus’s bullies, or which one plays truth or dare with meangirl Neptune.  But this also comes at the cost of the third person, unless there’s somehow a way to keep everyone safe?

There are no routes to lock yourself out of, only endings determined by the sum of your choices. 

This game does not have jump scares or gore. It does feature themes of isolation and alienation of queer youth in a religious rural setting, abstract psychological horror, some body horror, and possibly alarming music. As in: it uses horror themes and is Not Unscary, but scaring or shocking the player is not the primary goal. 

I was the lead artist and creative director on this project and I could not be more proud of what we’ve made. I hope you enjoy it!

You can get it from Date Nighto for $6.66 here, and check out Alec Lambert’s killer 80′s horror synth soundtrack here
