The SAW parallels are here somewhat, although they’re reserved for the latter half of the game. Compared to the dank and dull caves in House of Ashes, this entry is miles more immersive than it’s predecessor. “What’s that noise I’m hearing?” or “I swear there was a wall here last time!” are phrases I internally repeated throughout. Each twist and turn of it’s tight corridors can really throw you off, making you feel constantly on edge as the night progresses. Holmes’ Murder Castle is spectacular too, right down to the wallpaper and furnishings of the infamous hotel. This makes it markedly easier to become attached to the protagonists, as the tension escalates between the core group and the growing threat that rises within. However, the general dialogue and acting feels a lot more down to earth in The Devil in Me, with some standout performances from each of the cast members.

These new aspects may sound interesting on paper but they aren’t that engaging, because they’re not used often or come across as vapid at best. Erin, the film crew’s sound engineer needs an asthma pump to get by, while another character named Mark can take photos at any time the player is control.
