Digimon Survive [Let's Play] - 55 - Path of Wrathfulness

8 days ago

Truthful Route: Session 02! I go through most of the first day in this part, and I unlock my first Virus (Wrathfulness) evolution: Tuskmon!

Digimon Survive is a Digimon Visual Novel with Turn-based strategy battles. It follows a group of children stranded in another world. They form bonds with the creators there called Digimon as they desperate attempts to find a way back home. I already finished one route of the game, and now I'm publishing my playthrough of the Truthful Route!

Digimon Survive is the darkest piece of Digimon media I ever consumed while still being PG13. What I love the most about Digimon Survive, is how it uniquely blends 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.

Truthful Route - 02: ssss

Most of this session I spent through sprinting the first chapter of the game... The only notable changes are me being nicer to Ryo this time, and choosing "Wrathfulness" options whenever I had the chance. I just noticed that the options are always ordered the same way:

Left: Moral
Top Right: Wrathfulness
Bottom Right: Harmonious

My different choices made Agumon digivolve into something new: Tuskmon!
