Our take on Devil Inside Us: Roots of Evil
The premise foregrounds the priest's exorcist role and the cursed-house mystery, but the playable character's age and limited movement are equally central to the experience. Exploration, clues, visions, and object exorcisms define the activity more than sustained combat or broad action mechanics.
What is Devil Inside Us: Roots of Evil?
Play as Aughust Heylel, a 74-year-old priest investigating paranormal activity in a family's cursed house.
The case began in 1984 and remains with him more than 30 years later. Explore the property to locate items, written clues, and possessed objects while following visions connected to Aughust's medium abilities. These visions lead to unusual locations and guide the investigation. Aughust's age and physical condition affect his limited movement. Use a crucifix to exorcize cursed objects and devils as the mystery surrounding the house unfolds. The game presents a story-focused horror investigation built around exploration, supernatural clues, and exorcism.
