You can make a mental chart of the locations of medkits in the house so you're not scrambling when a teammate is down, leaving hay and gas tanks near the bonfire is a great way to catch and kill goats quickly, and unlocking all the doors in the house early on gives you more escape routes. Even so, we could've been much more prepared.
To our credit, it was our first playthrough together, and as I touched on earlier, Devour's "tutorial" is literally just a bunch of cryptic notes scattered around the map. Much of our struggles, I think, could've been remedied by proper planning and coordination. But when there's pretty much always at least one player in need of a medkit and another being chased by Anna, it's tough goings for a three-player team. Because of the weather, the bonfire where you sacrifice the goats was never blazing for long, which meant anyone with a goat would need someone nearby to pour gasoline in the pot and light the fire. At 7/10 goats sacrificed, I could hardly hear my comrades over the pounding rain and Anna's frenzied crying. Still, with Anna in a constant state of hysteria toward the backend of each session, the demons only add to the sheer intensity of playing Devour with friends.Įvery time you turn in a goat in Devour, Anna gets more aggressive, the storm shaking Anna's house grows more violent, and demons appear more frequently. The first few times one popped up in front of me were pretty startling, but the demons ended up being more irritating than scary, as they're slow and can be killed by shining a UV flashlight at them for a few seconds. Teamwork makes the nightmare workĪnna isn't the only threat you'll deal with in Devour there are also your classic demons-with-horns crawling around trying to stop you from killing goats. Things were generally pretty unpleasant, and we still had, like, six goats to sacrifice before we won the game. Unfortunately, by the time I healed my one friend, the other friend had been Anna'd and was crawling around in the basement surrounded by demons.Įveryone was yelling.
He was asking for us to bring him a medkit, and I deserve a best friend trophy for working up the courage to find one, sneak past Anna on my way up to the attic, and revive him when I could've just left him for demon food. Thankfully, my dear friend was still alive, albeit broken in body and spirit.
