Digimon Survive [Let's Play] - 15 - Death's Aftermath

[[Death Count Update: 1 ...So Far]] After losing a friend, we go back, defeated, and discuss what we'll do from now on...

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.

15 - Death's Aftermath

That wasn't the luckiest day... We learned that we were transported to an island in another world, that we're been targeted to become a sacrifice, and even lost Ryo to the fog...

In this session, Takuma talks with all the friends about the events from the previous day. Everyone is understandably defeated...

On the enemies side, even Arukenimon is being called out for toying with the children instead of capturing them. Next time she'll be more ruthless, oh well...
