✦ AI summary
Players praise Devious Path as an exceptionally well-executed anomaly horror game with effective jump scares, creepy atmosphere, and strong visual and sound design that keeps players on edge throughout. The game draws frequent comparisons to the movie Insidious for its unsettling vibe, offers good variety across different floors, and delivers a satisfying experience despite its short length and familiar puzzle formula. While some note the core anomaly-finding mechanic is straightforward and not revolutionary, the overall atmosphere and scares are polished enough that even players typically ske
VERY enjoyable anomaly game! I don't usually play anomaly games, but this one was on par with the vibes of "10 Bells." The jump scares were perfect, the creepy factor was off the charts and the anomalies were on point and not crazy hard, but also not super easy. I missed a lot, but didn't have that "burnt out" feeling when I was done. Highly recommended! PS. Needs jiggle physics. WHO'S WITH ME GUYS?!4 found this helpful
Devious Path is a neat little anomaly game, plenty of variety and jump-scares to keep game play interesting. I was reminded of the end sequence of the movie Insidious the whole time I was playing. People who have seen the movie will know what I am talking about if you decide to play this game. All in all a fun game to play. It's short, it's dark and it also has a cat called Daisy in it. That purrs, so that's kinda neat. Cats rule. Developer agrees. :)3 found this helpful
I never leave reviews but this game was so good it shocked me, mostly due to its price. if you find insidious scary this will terrify you. Due to it taking heavy influence from the astral plane in those movies. Without giving too much away i have to say buy it you wont regret it if your into the horror genre.2 found this helpful
Game was so good, got lots of Insidious aspects. I wish to see a new game from the developers make Insidious movie in a game. I can see that working2 found this helpful
Not a big fan of the "find an anomaly" game but this one was done very well. The story and the different experiences on each floor really kept my interest and the scares caught me off guard. Graphics and art style are also very well done. 10/10 would recommend if you like anomaly games and 9/10 for horror.1 found this helpful
If you’ve ever wanted to play an anomaly horror game where you take on the role of a half-naked, tattooed girl trapped inside a house with ghosts, demons, and other unpleasant things, then Devious Path might be the game for you. Don’t expect anything revolutionary. The formula is familiar — two rooms and a corridor. If you spot an anomaly, you go back. If you don’t, you move forward. That said, the combination of visuals, sound design, and overall atmosphere is genuinely unsettling, and the game does a good job of keeping you on edge the entire time. And yes, a few of the jump scares actually made me scream. Video: https://youtu.be/OXL6zhDGfG4
