The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me, also known simply as The Devil in Me, is an upcoming 2022 interactive drama and survival horror video game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is the fourth installment and season one finale in The Dark Pictures Anthology, after Man of Medan (2019), Little Hope (2020), and House of Ashes (2021). Like earlier games in the series, The Devil in Me features a cast of five playable protagonists and a multilinear narrative influenced by player choice. The game's decision-making scenes, of which there are several, can significantly alter the trajectory of the plot and change the relationships between the main characters. Due to these choices, any of the five protagonists can die permanently.

The title will introduce new features, such as character inventory, tool-based puzzles, and new movement capabilities such as running, jumping, and climbing.

The Devil in Me will be released for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on in Autumn 2022.

Premise

A group of documentary film makers receive a mysterious call inviting them to a modern-day replica of serial killer H.H. Holmes' 'Murder Castle’. It's an opportunity that's too good to pass up and could be just the thing they're looking for to win some much-needed public interest. The hotel is the perfect set for their new episode, but things aren't quite as they seem. The crew discover they're being watched and even manipulated, and suddenly there's much more at stake than just their ratings![1]

Gameplay

The Devil in Me introduces multiple new gameplay features that are a departure from the previous entries in The Dark Pictures Anthology. There will now be an inventory feature for the characters, tool-based puzzles, as well as new movement capabilities including running, jumping, and climbing.[1]

Playable characters

Sequel

In February 2022, Supermassive Games filed trademarks for six potential future entries. Five feature the standard The Dark Pictures branding, subtitled The Craven Man, Directive 8020, Intercession, Winterfold, and Switchback. The sixth potential title, subtitled O Death, is instead branded The Dark Pictures Presents.[3][4]
