Maybe The Real Devil Was the Friends We Made Along the Way


man this game seems like it was made from depths of hell itself now i get what they meant with that title

genuinely feel like this is great yall dont think the score means i didnt like it at all but i guess maybe it didnt land for me as much as i wanted to

this is a visual novel that clocks in at like 1 hour and honestly its kind of a breeze to go through due to some mostly interesting writing and fast paced narrative with something happening behind every single corner and even if you WERE getting bored the fucking industrial electro soundtrack will remind you that the devil is watching and wants a piece of your ass

the artstyle and music genuinely take the cake for most interesting artsy neo tumblr ism dark academia wicca people-who-scavenge-animal-bones-core and the characters have this sketchy style that somehow really suit and/or contrast the real life pictures put as a background for this disgustingly terroristic narrative and i swear to fucking god the soundtrack is pretty much the highlight here theres some bomb tunes here and there that sometimes dont even suit the scene at hand but you will be gripping at your chair because the fuck do you mean by this masterpiece i SHAT my fucking pants when this came on the very first time the fuck

so the story is absolutely out of my knowledge but the basic premise is 3 girls are hiding from the devil and in the meantime they could also develop some lesbianism on the way which is always a good addition to a plot if you ask me now if you come to me and ask so falco what do you think the story is about i would try to change the subject matter so fucking fast like i have NO idea the rampant christianity here and there is for me kind of a metaphor but when you get to the endings you go umh so what was this actually all about also theres different endings and i kind of enjoy the venus ending the most out of every one due to me loving angels if you played it yknow what im talking about so anyway the lore is completely hidden to me BUT i can say that i enjoyed the surface level interactions and little characterisation for each one of the cute gals so thats alright

cool stuff it gave me some hello charlotte / milk bag outside a bag milk whatever the fuck vibes so yknow whats up unfortunately it wasnt long enough for me to actually care for these characters or really let the story sink in so we are left with a nice little niche visual novel about the hardships of being LGBT in a heterosexual camping group

should i check out heaven will be mine i saw some people willing to nail their testicles to a wood chair instead of playing that game so should i start saying goodbye to my junk /gen

i love this game so much i buy it for other people

The loneliness of being in this isolated cabin, the brutal world just outside, waiting for uncertain doom soundtracked by blaring sirens in the distance... the vibes are just unbeatable.

Super interesting, bite-sized story that felt good to play. I wish I was better with screenshots because some of the writing was clever and incisive and felt like truths I'd want to keep with me.

Makes my wife go honk shoo (sleepy tired).


A killer soundtrack and art direction means that vibes are off the charts here, and the themes are super great too, but I couldn't really get much into the minutiae of the writing sadly. The dialogue's not terribly compelling to me and these characters just aren't really given enough time to shine, even going through all the endings. I don't know how exactly to describe it but this feels less focused on telling a story and more about communicating a message? It's hard to explain.

Still definitely liked overall, just not as much as I had hoped.

music was rly good, art was rly good (also really liked the photo backgrounds), story is really good once you decipher it a little. very much enjoyed these 3 characters and can relate to each of them in a different way. glad i could finally play it after seeing it on tumblr so long ago

Interesting queer visual novel that reflects around themes of acceptance, freedom of personal expression, and social conventions that turn into judgmental actions and exclusion of those who appear to be different. The game structure requires you to make choices that subsequently result in the various endings and correspond to the exclusion of a scapegoat among the three main characters. However, it's only by managing not to exclude anyone that the true ending can be reached in which the true uniqueness of the game lies: only by refusing to play by the rules of the game and choosing, rejecting those who seem worse than we are we can all accept ourselves for who we really are, and be truly free from our own judgment and that of others.

2 hour game i will probably be thinking about for the rest of my life

I came out of this gayer and more emotionally loved than I was prior

got the 'true ending', which guides the story into something beautifully radical - visceral on a pillowy, deep-in-the-soul kind of way. a very very good game 🔱

vn games are far from my bread and butter but I enjoyed my first playthrough of this - the atmosphere is very potent, pairing stark polaroid backgrounds with a dark, pulsing synth soundtrack. the writing is good too, and the themes - while hard to fully grasp on first go - have a ghostly power to them that makes me want to come back again.

Very strange alternate universe. A story about queer kids at summer camp & Christianity or something. Freaky music and nice art. Starts a bit slow but the endings are interesting. Dialogue can be boring. I don't regret playing it, but I think maybe my hopes for this were too high.

I still hate the relationship mechanics in these visual novels. But I really like the art style and sound design here.

This game took me on a journey I wasn’t expecting. In fact I kind of had a bad time in my first play session… but after beating it and reflecting on it, I really appreciate everything they did. A very good piece of art and it gives you much to think about.

100% completion on Steam!
who knew the solution to religious trauma was a polyamorous sapphic romance all along

prolly at least partially responsible for helping me come to terms with my transgenderisms and lesbianisms yahoo

i enjoyed this game a lot, the ending CGs are gorgeous and i adore the soundtrack as well as the overall visual choices. the writing felt a little lacking at times..? but the game as a whole is incredibly charming.

I don't know how to talk about this game without revealing too much of myself.

What an incredible depiction of queerness, youth, friendship, and religious guilt, backed by those anxious, droning synths. The true ending was beautiful and these 3 characters deserve the world. Or at the very least each other.


Okay, having now achieved all the endings, I think I understand this much better.

I love these complicated gay weirdos

saddest and most emotional game of 7 minutes in heaven I've ever seen.

It is not often that games as short as this one can grab my attention as soon as I start playing. The oppressive atmosphere created by the game's haunting soundtrack and excellent writing quickly made me interested in what was about to happen. The number of themes such as faith, self-love, and depictions of the devil is done well and in a way, I haven't really seen a whole lot. These themes are also presented through an LGBTQ lens that adds even more subtext to the story that I am still unpacking for myself. Each of the four endings frightened me in a different way and gave me, even more, to think about as well as making me love the characters even more. It's hard to write a review for this game without spoiling the story so all I can really say is go play it. It's short, cheap, and will hopefully stick with you as much as it did me.
