An Apartment Complex Corrodes into a Nightmare Realm in ‘Devotion’

Devotion, the next title from the developers of Detention, takes you to 1980’s Taiwan for an experience in East Asian folklore and unsettling horrors.

Devotion takes the main character to a familiar place, with their apartment bringing a sense of nostalgia, but also menace. This place used to be your home, but something is certainly off about it. What with all of the odd visions and the like.

It’s on you to push through the things you see and explore the memories that are tied into this reshaped place, exploring what a certain religious belief has done to those you’ve left behind.

Devotion aims to let the player soak in its twisting, terrifying story and atmosphere, creating an unsettling place inspired by East Asian mythology, music, and religion.

Devotion is available now on Steam.
