Upon finding ourselves within a devil’s game where a single mistake means death, we deal with demons, traps, and tricks to survive the first couple of trials in HideWorks’ The Devil is in the Details.
The Devil is in the Details is a tense, first-person horror / puzzle hybrid from HideWorks, blending anomaly detection, escape-room mechanics, and survival elements. Trapped in a shifting, hellish mansion, you must spot subtle anomalies in your surroundings—then mark them with talismans—while demons, traps, and random “pranks” threaten to derail every step. Each playthrough feels unique thanks to randomized cursed objects and unpredictable challenges across four distinct mansion campaigns.
Every moment bears weight: time is your lifeline (it doubles as health), and resources like potions and keys are scarce. You’ll alternate between Observation (spotting and marking anomalies) and Ritual phases, all while demons may chase you or throw curveballs—like reversed controls or visual interference. Performance and survival depend on sharp observation, route planning, and quick reactions in this psychological, atmospheric horror experience.
