Digimon Survive [Let's Play] - 24 - Waterway Trap

8 days ago

Shuuji, still unstable leads the way into the waterway that supposedly leads into the enemy's base. Of course, the enemy knew we were going there. What are the odds?

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.

24 - Waterway Trap

In this session, we go to the enemy base. There's a waterway under the Dam that supposedly leads there... Shuuji was unstable so Takuma suggested he and Aoi stay behind, but he snaps and goes in first...

The way Shuuji has been treating Lopmon was finally getting to Lopmon, and even the other Digimon partners feel "something dark" building up within him...

And of course... Arukenimon was overhearing all of that...

Once we got in the waterway, we faced Arukenimon, but she only talked as if buying time... Suddenly a weird gas enevolped everyone, and Takuma found himself alone... He met Agumon later but this Agumon was different and nasty, Takuma knew he wasn't the real one... What we do from here?
