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.
