SuperMassive Games has done a pretty strong job over the last two gaming generations of establishing itself as the go-to developer for horror-based interactive dramas that used to be known as “walking simulators”. After setting a high standard with the Playstation 4 exclusive “Until Dawn”, the developer followed up with the first of eventually four smaller offerings compared to “Until Dawn” under the umbrella of “The Dark Pictures Anthology”.
With a reduced budget, but wider release offerings in terms of hardware, the “Anthology” series progressed from a gameplay perspective with each iteration having something of a roller coaster experience in terms of each games’ most important aspect: the story. To cap off the first season of this apparent on-going series, SuperMassive focused on reality rather than the paranormal with this presentation. Tip your waiter, don’t steal the towels, and get these first impressions of “The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me”.
