The Devil is in the Details – Gameplay

0

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.

The Devil is in the Details
Developer: HideWorks
Publisher: HideWorks
Platform: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S
Release Date: PC – September 30, 2024; PS5 & Xbox – September 12, 2025
Price: $9.99 USD

Available here – https://www.hideworksgames.com/

Summary:

Recommended – “The Devil is in the Details blends eerie design with anomaly spotting and hidden puzzles, offering freedom of play and tons of scares and variety for replay, though not every trick lands.”

Spooky Roguelite SHMUP “NeverAwake FLASHBACK” Haunts PC Dec. 10, Demo Launches Today

TOKYO, Japan — Oct 14, 2025 — NeverAwake FLASHBACK, the nightmarish roguelite twin-stick shooter and sequel to NeverAwake (and Metacritic’s 40th highest-rated PC game of 2022) developed by Neotro Inc. and published by Phoenixx Inc., battles never-ending night terrors on PC via Steam on Wednesday, Dec. 10th, 2025. The bad dreams begin with the debut demo launching today during Steam Next Fest.

When young Rem’s restful sleep patterns once again turn tumultuous, her recurring nightmares return with a vengeance. With her favorite stuffed animal Gabe-chan at her side, explore the unknown corners of the mind where demonic spirits…wait…are those vegetables?

Well…vegetables can be scary for a little kid! Blast asparagus apparitions, broccoli beasts, and wild wasabi — all of Rem’s least favorite foods. You know what else she hates? The dentist… that one rabid dog that almost bit her on the way home from school…and many other terrible memories across more than 80 randomly shuffled levels.

Begin each run by creating a custom combination of three weapons and three accessories, then float through procedurally generated horrors where enemies approach from all directions. Create hundreds of combat builds for every situation — pelt enemies from afar with traditional twin-stick directional fire, deal chunk damage with short-range shotgun-style blasts, or wreak havoc with wave-clearing 360° bursts.

In the demo, learn all the dreamy details through a gameplay tutorial followed by three stages of hell adolescent anxiety where unpleasant meals manifest as menacing monsters. Turn up the heat and topple two spicy wasabi demons that guard the path forward.

“The feedback we received after the launch of the original NeverAwake is the reason its sequel exists today,” said Hiroshi Sawatari, developer of NeverAwake FLASHBACK. “We are very grateful to have such a vocal community, and we look forward to hearing their input once more with today’s demo launch.”

NeverAwake FLASHBACK arrives on Steam for PC on Wednesday, Dec. 10th, 2025 with language support in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
