Devotion is a first-person horror adventure developed by Red Candle Games and released in 2019 for PC. Set in 1980s Taiwan, the game takes place almost entirely within a single apartment complex, where a family of three once lived an ordinary domestic life shaped by religious faith. As the familiar home shifts into something nightmarish, players navigate its confined, haunted spaces, uncovering the dark mysteries embedded in the family's past. The atmosphere draws heavily on the nostalgia and cultural texture of the era, using religion as a central thematic thread. Puzzle-solving drives the narrative forward, with each solution peeling back another layer of the story. The result is a tightly focused, claustrophobic horror experience more concerned with psychological unease and narrative discovery than action.

As you push through each memory, uncovering the layers of each mystery, you may find buried in this home, the unsettling truth of those who lived here. “Remember what you prayed for…”
