Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking action-heavy gameplay may bounce off the reading and choice-based structure.
- Players wanting one continuous long campaign may find the 1–2 hour playthroughs too short.
- Players unwilling to replay routes may not experience all of the available content.
Our take on Tell a Demon
The bounce point comes after the first 1–2 hour route, when the game asks for replay rather than continuing with one extended campaign. Players who do not want to revisit choices may stop before uncovering the full 4–6 hours or more of content.
What is Tell a Demon?
Tell a Demon is a visual novel set in a 1920s-style fantasy world marked by the legacy of a fallen empress.
