Devotion Download PC

Devotion (Chinese: 還願; literally: 'Fulfill a vow') is a first-person psychological horror video game created and developed by Taiwanese game developer Red Candle Games for Steam. It is set in Taiwan in the 1980s, with a majority of the game happening in an apartment complex in Taipei. The game also incorporates elements based on Taiwanese culture and folk religion. The game was released on February 19, 2019, but was removed from Steam on February 26, 2019, currently pending an internal review in the face of a controversy involving unintended art assets.

Devotion's background music was composed by Taiwanese composer Vincent Yang. The soundtrack was released with the game on Steam as a DLC.

Synopsis

Players, for the most part, control the troubled screenwriter Du Feng Yu (杜豐于) through a Taipei apartment complex with rooms that represent various years in the lives of the Du family during the 1980s. The family consists of Feng Yu, his wife Gong Li Fang (鞏莉芳), a retired songstress, and their daughter Du Mei Shin (杜美心), an aspiring child singer. Feng Yu's screenwriting career has stagnated while Mei Shin begins to show signs of a mysterious illness. As the family's financial situation deteriorates, Li Fang has frequent arguments with Feng Yu about whether she should come out of her retirement to help support the family.

In the midst of the domestic disputes, Mei Shin enters a popular singing contest, seeking to please her parents by becoming a popular singer. However, Mei Shin's performance of her mother's signature song "Lady of the Pier" (碼頭姑娘) comes one point shy of advancing to the next round. Mei Shin's condition worsens after the setback, to the point she's unable to sing. Despite a doctor's suggestion that the family seek psychiatric care for Mei Shin's illness, Feng Yu instead begins to follow the teachings of cult leader Mentor Heuh (何老師) regarding the folk deity Cigu Guanyin (慈孤觀音), who could supposedly help cure his daughter and her singing career. When Feng Yu becomes increasingly obsessed with Mentor Heuh, Li Fang attempts to convince her husband to snap out of his obsession, but Feng Yu accuses her of being possessed by evil spirits. Realising her husband will not listen to her, Li Fang eventually leaves the family.
