I'd like to remind all of you that Devotion is a great game and you should buy it (https://shop.redcandlegames.com/app/devotion)
I was only made aware today that Red Candle Games has a website you can buy it off of, since every other game platform decided to capitulate to Xi's (and by extension, those citizens devoted to him and who are also gamers) bitching and moaning about getting made fun of.
Y’all know that game ‘Devotion’?? Cause holy hell it is terrifying. Like to whoever made it: do you need to talk??? I can refer you to my therapist or just listen if you need it
I'm playing a crazy horror game tomorrow in my next "If You are Scared Go to Church" stream at youtube.com/@gamergirlfriday. I wrote a song about it for my blog. Wanna hear it? Here it goes!We are going to hop in our Wayback Machine, and take a trip to a land that few game developers have ventured off to in a video game setting. We will be going to 1980’s Taiwan in Devotion. It is a first person psychological horror developed by Red Candle Games. It was banned by steam, and the game is no joke, honey. Devotion is set in the run down apartment of troubled screenwriter Du-Feng-Yu who hasn’t written anything decent since Jesus was still in a manger. Not only do you play as him, but also as the other members of his family. They include his wife who is a retired singer and a somewhat mediocre actress named Gong Li-fang, and their bedridden young daughter Mei-Shin who has missed a lot of school due to a mysterious illness. The family has fallen on hard financial times, which not only takes a toll on the family life, but on his marriage with his wife who gave up her life of fame and possible fortune to be married to a washed up writer with no cash coming in. Instead of doing what was recommended and taking his daughter to see a therapist for anxiety, Feng-Yu begins to follow the teachings of a cult leader who knows absolutely nothing about what she’s talking about. You probably guess that, though. The fun doesn’t stop there, because it seems like his practices have welcome in some unwanted visitation. The player explores the same apartment, only each one is labeled a different year, and is a different state. You must interact with random objects and collect some as you wander from apartment to apartment, trying to get a better understanding of this madness that’s going on. The game developers drew their inspiration from first person games such as P.T. and What Remains of Edith Finch(which is a personal favorite of mine). They wanted to introduce players to their Taiwanese culture which is rarely seen in video games. Despite getting banned from steam a week after it went for sale for it’s reference to the Chinese Communist Party’s General Secretary as Winnie the Pooh, the developers have stated that it’s intent was about religious fanaticism. They also cited difficulty translating certain Taiwanese concepts to an international audience of different languages. Even though they had difficulty with the translation, the game has received positive reviews for it’s story line which is definitely a wild. I hope to see everybody there. Don't get beat up!
Disturbed Father Faces Nightmare In Time | Devotion Playthrough & Review ep 1
Welcome, DEVOTED! 🕯️ Today we dive into the first-person atmospheric horror that is Devotion, by Red Candle Games! Explore a 1980s Taiwan apartment complex lost in time and gradually shift into a hellish nightmare.
Andrew’s all about respecting someone’s no until it’s one of the foxes telling his nieces and nephews no. Then he could give less of a fuck. They own him. He’ll give them anything and everything. One of them asks for money, he sends double. Presents every time he visits. Parents say no? Uncle Drew says abso-fucking-lutely. As long as they aren’t hurting themselves (or others depending on the severity) he’ll do just about anything for them. He’s the worst about it with Aaron’s girls but it extends to the rest of the baby foxes as well. He is the favorite and he worked hard to get it. He is their confident, their safest space, their biggest advocate. He will drop anything and everything to be there for them. He’s walked off the court just to answer a phone call about homework problems. And higher power help them if someone makes his babies cry. Andrew Minyard is the best fucking Uncle to ever Uncle and you will not change my mind.
