What is The Demons Told Me to Make This Game?
A cosmic horror narrative adventure set in Red Hives on the world's last day. As Dark Wisp, a disembodied spirit, you possess people and use dialogue to influence their decisions rather than control them directly. Each time loop has slots where you guide one host while others act independently, rewinding and experimenting until you find a sequence that keeps them alive.
For you if...
- +you like branching dialogue and learning from failed choices
- +you enjoy dark humor alongside supernatural horror
Not for you if...
- −you prefer direct control over your character's actions
