Digimon Survive [Let's Play] - 28 - Infighting

2 days ago

I love this part of the game, all kids are now scared of their partner Digimon, and that's a very realistic reaction after seeing a fellow friend getting eaten by his partner.

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.

28 - Infighting

This session starts with a backstory for Garurumon. He was the partner Gabumon for Haru before, but for some reason, they got separated... Since then, he became bitter about Digimon bonds with humans...

As the kids get out of the waterway into the other side, they are all depressed. Especially Saki who is now scared even of Flowermon, and Minoru who had a fight we Falcomon!
