The Dark Pictures Anthology is no stranger to mystery and twists. Each new installment is full of enough intrigue and suspense to keep players scrounging for clues, even after the final credits roll. The Devil In Me is no exception, and it’s my favorite in the series by a mile.

The Devil In Me, like other Supermassive Games, follows a cast of interesting and deeply flawed individuals caught in life-threatening circumstances. This time, it’s a film crew desperate to save their show that has been lured to the replica murder hotel of H. H. Holmes.

For those blessedly unfamiliar, the “murder hotel” of H. H. Holmes is a real life hotel, constructed by one of the United States’ first serial killers. Holmes was a sadist who enjoyed manipulating others, luring them into his booby-trapped hotel.

But while our protagonist film crew begin to film, they quickly learn that it’s not just the hotel that’s been replicated. A killer stalks the twisting corridors of the reborn murder hotel, trapping the crew within.

Hector Munday was a brilliant criminal profiler who put prolific and elusive serial killers behind bars. But when Munday began interviewing murderer Manny Sherman, Sherman was able to tease out Munday’s hidden dark side. This encounter caused Munday to snap and start killing, all the while being tutored by Sherman.
