Digimon Survive [Let's Play] - 03 - Old School Building

2 months ago (Edited)

In this session we meet with Minoru, Aoi and Ryo. As well as find the Old School Building which would become our base.

Digimon Survive is a Digimon Visual Novel with Turn-based strategy battles. The game follows a group of children who find themselves in another world, and their desperate attempts to find a way back home. The children find themselves involved with monsters, both as partners and enemies.

This is the darkest piece of Digimon media I ever consumed, and Cybersleuth had pretty dark stuff too. Digimon Survive fuses the concept of Digital Monsters with Japanese folklore. It's amazing how the idea of "child sacrifice" integrates seamlessly with Digimon lore. The specific Digimon they choose for this game enhance this theme.

Digimon Survive is the closest modern entry to the old school Digimon anime vibes. Though, more than the earlier Digimon anime series, the game reminds me more of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor series. In that series too, characters may die depending on your actions.

Below you can watch my playthrough of Digimon Survive, and the link to the whole playlist.

THIS PLAYTHROUGH IS MODDED: I installed the Improved Translation Mod and the Quirky Dialogue Font Mod. This playthrough should look a bit different from the official version.

03 - Old School Building

After Takuma and Agumon become partners, we try to find our friends. We find Minoru and his partner digimon battling some enemies, so we help...

After the battle, we're introduced to Falcomon, Minoru's partner.

Then we go to find Aoi, as Minoru ditched her in his panic. Aoi finds us along with her partner Labramon. Our way leads us to the school building, but this one is very old...

Labramon collapses as we enter, and we realize she was hurt from the previous battle. We look for first aid kit for her.

While investigating the the school building, we meet Ryo.

But we find the whole building wrapped in invisible spider web that we had to use our phone cameras to see. While trying to find a way to escape, Aoi disappears. Now, we must look for her.

P.S: I did some free battles and got my first "Free" recruitable Digimon.
