Red Candle Games’ ‘Devotion’ Finally Available to Purchase Again
Finally, the whole circus around Red Candle Games’ Devotion appears to be at an end (sort of). The developers announced last night that the game is now available digitally, direct from their website, DRM-free. You can also spring for a combo pack that includes the game’s soundtrack, or get the Complete Edition which includes Devotion, along with the first game, Detention, and their respective soundtracks.
In case you missed it all, this whole thing started two years ago when the game was pulled from Steam after it was discovered that the Taiwanese devs had put in an Easter Egg that made light of the Chinese government. From there, the developer was blacklisted and faced several fines.
Harvard University began hosting the game’s code for preservation as a result of the crackdown. Devotion was almost released again last year on GOG, but due to “many messages from gamers”, that was nixed.
Before the game went down from Steam, we had a chance to review it ourselves, and we loved it. So if this game sounds like it’s up your alley, go and support these guys.

Horror Action-Adventure Title ‘EONA’ Appearing at Gamescom 2026; New Gameplay Trailer Released [Watch]
With gamescom 2026 right around the corner, developer/publisher SUPER AC has revealed that their upcoming horror adventure game EONA will be making an appearance at the show, which takes place from August 26-30. In addition, the team has revealed a new gameplay trailer, as well as announcing that the game will launch “just a few weeks” after gamescom.
Those attending gamescom will be able to play the final version of EONA at the SUPER AC booth, located in Hall 10.1, Booth A043. If you’re not able to attend, you can always check out the demo for the game on Steam.
EONA centres around the eponymous girl, who after a failed spell, has her soul split into two, with one half residing in a mysterious puppet. Eona must enter the castle of the evil fairy Mélusine and recover an artifact that is the only hope of saving her mother. But the path through the castle comes at a cost. To achieve her goal, Eona must uncover the castle’s secrets… and ultimately confront Mélusine herself.
Eona wields the Puppeteer’s Cross, a stolen artifact that allows her to manipulate the souls of the castle’s servants. By altering their behavior, redirecting their patrol routes, and disrupting the castle’s order, she can turn its own inhabitants against it. She can also swap between her human body and her puppet form, with each form granting unique abilities that are essential for delving deeper into the castle, reaching inaccessible areas, and uncovering its hidden secrets.
Blending stealth, exploration, puzzle-solving and soul manipulation, you’ll use Eona’s supernatural abilities to overcome obstacles—but never lose sight of your own body, which is completely vulnerable when using her puppet form.
In addition to Steam, EONA will also be launching on the Epic Games Store.
