We Know The Devil is a creepy little VN about three outcast kids; Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune, who are stuck in a lame Christian summer camp. On the last week before they go home, they need to spend the night in a creepy shack out in the woods and wait for the devil to appear.

It's very surreal and ominous and the music is really freaky and well made. Unlike most VNs, there's no player character, nor branching routes. It's easy to play through in one sitting, but there are four possible endings. There are no Game Over/You Lose style endings, each ending is an alternate completion of the story.

I think you should check this out then. It explores how freaky and cult-like Christianity can be in the US, and how young minds are made to feel guilty for just existing as a human being.

yeah that's pretty much how fundies work. indoctrinate young, make them feel like they need the church so they don't feel like trash. it works pretty well

well i got all four endings. each route is kind of important but there's only very minor changes in each one besides the end. the "true" ending is the only "good" one, though. even though you don't get a bad end screen in the other 3 it kind of feels like you screwed up. but once you figure out how to get a certain ending it's easy to get the one you want, too.

besides the occasional poorly written tumblr speak, i thought it was a decent story. the endings all felt a little forced and stunted to me, and with only 1 cg per route the impact was weakened. idk, i "get it", and it wasn't really what i was expecting, but i think it could have been a lot better.

not good, but not bad either. worth almost $7? maybe.. but i've played free visual novels that were better written and had more effort put in to the art.

i did, and im pretty sure i saw every scene as well. no way to tell for sure cuz i dont think it has a completion % [spoiler]changing the bible verse for each path was clever[/spoiler]

Wait.

How can it have multiple endings if it's a kinetic novel.

rtil

it's not kinetic, you do make choices. many of the same events occur anyways, but the choices you make do affect the outcome of the ending

Bamyasi

Okay I assumed no branching routes = no choices = kinetic novel.

I guess that would denote it as a "Linear VN."

rtil

it's fairly linear. imagine the path of the VN being the shape of a pitchfork with 4 prongs
