DEVIL'S LIMINAL

Clara my Beloved <3 Straight out the gate this game has been awesome: No Gen AI {Thank God}; ACTUALLY DIVERSE YURI {Hell Yeah} AND the Dev has clear trigger warnings available for people to see and make educated decisions on their own mental health when playing which has been so helpful personally!! This game itself also has been just so lovely to play through so far! It's such a fun departure from some other classic jumpscare heavy titles in the horror genre, leaning into more eldritch horror & eerie things lurking in the dark that turn grotesque and vicious very fast before fading again & leaving you anxious for the next time they'll appear. The characters also feel way more nuanced than I expected, they all have like positive & negative sides to them that get revealed more as you play which keeps the interactions feeling dynamic & surprisingly fluid! I am SO excited to see where the story leads, especially with it being this entertaining and well done in Early Access already!

I absolutely love this game and recommend it very much!! This story has everything: love, sapphic romance, both the horror of the supernatural and ordinary things like ♥♥♥♥♥♥ parents, grappling with abuse and the way it shapes you, and absolutely incredible art. everything, from the art to writing to music creates such an encompassing, suffocating atmosphere that reminded me so much of my own teen years experiencing The Horrors. Beck, Clara are so fascinating, they are inside my brain. And I relate to Margo so much that I at times need to pause and take a breather. Incredible writing (I will say it 10000 times yes) I really don't think I can put into words how much I love this game. I think about it so much. Thank you!!

Great game!! Love the art style. The characters feel like actual people and the story is enticing and leaves you wanting for more. 10/10.

This game really surprised me and there was a lot of characters that hits very close to home for me and some characters I do care about. The horror and mystery is fascinating and I am quite looking forward to what comes next with the story!

I was looking for a horror VN demo around Halloween when the unique art style of DEVIL'S LIMINAL caught my attention. This game is something special. The art is fresh and interesting, a welcome change from the typical anime style, and it definitely sets an unsettling mood. I played the free demo on my Steam Deck, and it’s the perfect platform for visual novels. The great OLED screen and easy sleep/wake function are ideal, and the game looks sharp on it. What truly kept me locked in were the characters. They are so interesting and feel so real; their dynamics make the entire story incredibly engaging. The writing for the main trio is truly solid. I’ve always been skeptical about Early Access and never really understood the point of buying in early. But I was so impressed with the story, the characters, and the unique style of this demo that I immediately purchased the full Early Access version to support the developer. This game changed my view on Early Access. I have no regrets and cannot wait to see how the rest of this brilliant story unfolds.

Pros: - Art - Story/writing - LGBTQIA+ characters - Heavy topics are handled quite well - Unique concepts - No typos that I'm aware of yet! Cons: - Pacing - Not a lot of horror elements, wanted more - Overuse of similar/same voice line, primarily "yes" instead of also using "okay", "sure", "yeah", "uh-huh", etc. - Very little voice acting, wished there was more! - Wish there was more pops of red in specific scenes around objects of importance maybe? Only saw it a handful of times.
