#of the devil

Getting into Of The Devil is crazy because people will sell it to you on the premise of “It’s toxic yuri Death Note!” And the you check it out and it’s some of the most dense and engaging cyberpunk fiction to be written in the last decade and also it’s like if Death Note was written by someone who doesn’t hate women.

one of my fave parts of Of the Devil are the little optional in-world articles you can find which give you bonus life if you successfully answer a question about it. because on one hand it's a nice way of keeping stuff optional while still rewarding players for fully engaging with the lore. on the other hand you have tricked a bunch of gamers into doing SAT/ACT "read a short passage and then answer a multiple-choice quiz proving you understood it" reading comprehension questions by making the short passages about cyberpunk crime
