The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me is a 2022 interactive drama and survival horror video game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is the fourth game of The Dark Pictures Anthology. The Devil in Me is set in a modern-day replica of H. H. Holmes's "Murder Castle" on an island in Lake Michigan. The narrative follows a documentary film crew who must survive a labyrinth of deadly traps set by a copycat serial killer. Reappearing in The Devil in Me are staple mechanics of the anthology, such as quick time events, two single-player and two multiplayer modes, and collectables that allow the player to see visions of possible future events. The game deviates from the stricter linearity of previous entries by introducing expanded exploration capabilities, including running, jumping, and climbing, alongside tool-based puzzles and a character inventory system. It features a multilinear plot in which decisions can alter the trajectory of the story and change the relationships between the five playable protagonists; some choices lead to their permanent deaths.
