Рhe developers of The Demons Told Me to Make This Game from the Ukrainian studio Haunted Dude presented the Steam page and the first trailer of their project. They told about it on Gamedev.DOU.ua.
The Demons Told Me to Make This Game is a narrative visual novel, detective, and role-playing game in which you control an otherworldly creature that can enter people's heads, talk to them, and influence their behavior. The game takes place in a small American town that is suffering from an invasion of demons and monsters from another dimension. A group of local novice demon hunters are trying to stop the monsters, but they keep losing and dying. Fortunately, your protégé exists outside of time, so he can go back and try another way.
According to the developers, they were inspired by the text-based role-playing game Disco Elysium, the horror adventure Slay the Princess, the concept of the time loop, and the works of black humor writer Jason Pargin, who works under the pseudonym David Wong.
Although the Ukrainian language is not listed on the Steam page, the authors plan to add it as soon as they test and polish the game in English. The release of The Demons Told Me to Make This Game is scheduled for 2025. The concept and trailer look interesting, so we're adding the game to our Wish List.
