Fallen Devotion (DEMO) Review 🔔🏍️

TL;DR: "We're gonna be best friends forever, right?" "Mmm, I dunno. You get kind've annoying sometimes." "That was a trick question. You will literally never be rid of me. Even if I die, I'll haunt you." "All right, all right; yes, we'll be best friends forever. I was just joking lol." "Lol yeah...but I wasn't." "What? o_o" "What? :)"

Game Link: https://billetdoux.itch.io/fallen-devotion

Notable Features: Self-Insert, Yandere LI, Supernatural LI, Selectable skin tone, Selectable Pronouns, Multiple Endings Spiciness: 0/5 -- No spiciness here! unfortunately But! He does give us a little hug, which was really nice :) LI Red Flags: 1.75 / 5 -- History of stalking and kidnapping. He's not much of a threat, right now...at least towards us.

Wanna know more? Nah. Not if you aren't at least 18, you don't. Frankly, you shouldn't even be on my page, because I am no where near child friendly. Oh, you're over 18? Well shit! Let's get into it!

I was so excited about this game demo dropping. I was so excited about this game demo dropping. I was so excited about this game demo dropping. I was so excited about this game. demo. dropping. You hear me?

Like, the moment I saw the LI I was just-- those of you who have been rocking with me for a while know that I have a massive thing for alt style men, and baby, when I saw him, it was wraps. I had been crushin' on that man since I saw the initial screenshot on Tumblr.

Anyways, thirstin' aside, I'm super excited to tell you about this one, because so much went down in the demo. Now, am I gonna tell everything that went down? No. But, what I am gonna do is tell you as much as possible without ruining the game itself. Trust me; you're gonna wanna give this a try for yourself after I give you a snippet of what's going down, and bro, shit is going down.

So boom.

Our bestie -- well, ex-bestie -- is dead.

That's already a lot going on in that one sentence, right? Nah, it goes farther than this.

Basically, it started -- at least today -- from us waking up from having a dream. Actually, scratch that, because it more like a nightmare at this point, and it's happened multiple times this week alone. What makes it a nightmare, though, is that it's always about our best friend, but no longer best friend, but not because he's dead, ex-best friend.

Like always, we try to brush it off as best as we can and head into work for some much needed sense of normalcy and, frankly, some grounding. It should really be noted that these frequent nightmares are really starting to wear down on us, though. Now, why is that?

Because, now, we're starting to hallucinate -- ...lmao -- random text messages and attributing random scribbled notes to his hand writing and ish because of it. Like, we seriously thought we saw the man's bike outside of our workplace. The sleep deprivation is real, ya feel me?

"Lol, nah, that's not why. It's because you're trying to act as if the guy never even existed. Did you ever think that maybe the universe or whatever is tryna tell you something? Because, if I was him, I'd be haunting your ass. ...You look a mess by the way lmao. You own a mirror or nah?"

ಠ_ಠ

Leave it to our co-worker to be brutally honest with us. It's almost as if the comment about us clearly trying to forget our best friend, but no longer best friend, let alone non-living ex-best friend wasn't enough. Despite that though, we know that the comment is from a place of care, because we really have been trying our absolute damnedest to drown out all memories and feelings associated with our ex-bestie. It was so bad to the point where we hadn't even gone to the guy's funeral. You noticed how I haven't even told you his name? Yeah, it's that real of an issue.

Now, this whole thing escalates when these first-year college kids come in talking about something called "soul ties". We don't have anything better to do so we unintentionally but intentionally eavesdrop for plot purposes. So, uh, that whole "soul tie" thing that they were talking about? It's basically how, if someone dies and they still have some unresolved stuff from their living days, they can just kinda bunk with someone who they were close to, because, apparently, it's way easy to communicate through their dreams.

(⊙_⊙;)

Well...talk about awkward, because if that's not exactly related to what we're going through right now. Did we hallucinate that ish, too?

Just on the off chance that it wasn't a hallucination this time -- "this time" lmao -- and is one of those signs from the universe that our coworker was going on about, guess what we did when we got home? Hit up the Goo-gley. Nah, I'm kidding...well, only slightly. We actually did search it up on Google, but our laptop kind've crapped out on us, so we didn't get super far.

Actually, I lowkey lied again. See, our laptop crapping out wasn't a coincidence. As soon as our laptop went "😵", a message came up like "Always looking for answers, but never asking the source. That's crazy...". So, now, we're lowkey gaslighting ourselves because ain't no way that's real, right? But it's like...that's clearly 1000% real.

"Will you let me in...?"

(⊙⁄ ⁄ ⁄﹏ ⁄ ⁄ ⁄⊙)

...I mean, shiiiiiiit, when you look like that, I just might, ya feel me?

But should we is the question.

Friends...Squad...the demo came out so good, y'all.

Holy hell, this demo came out so. friggin'. good. I felt things. I felt emotion. I felt anticipation. I felt delulu. Like, damn, why'd our (ex) best friend have to die?! But it's like, the how? Like, ah, the drama!

But no, this really was damn good. Those of you that have been rocking with me know that I get slutty for art style and CGs -- I frickin' loved the art style. Like, it was just so visually pleasing to look at. Shit, Clive -- that was his name by the way lmao -- was visually pleasing to look at, you know what I'm saying? Like, y'all see this?

Like, disrespectfully, speak for yourself MC, because he sure as hell is my type 𖹭 ...visuals wise, at least.

Speaking of things being visually pleasing to look at, can we please talk about our coworker Dariel? Look at him!

The way that the dev drew this healthy (I think) Black man! Actual tears. I love when people draw Black people with Black hair styles. Like, that man's hair is thiquxe. That man has a dedicated wash day. That man uses gyah damn shea butter and coconut oil daily. Like, dude, fucking pop off. I always appreciate diversity in a game, especially when it's done so right.

But anyways, the pacing was phenomenal. Like, the way that it gives you just enough information and just enough "Oh, he ain't wrapped too tight" and just enough trauma and just enough drama and just enough backstory--!! The way that the dev put all of that together was so--!! Bro, I'm in love. Like, I am so excited for the rest of this game to drop. Like, yo, how far is he about to go? Because y'all don't know yet, because I didn't tell you, but like...bro, anybody would be pissed in that scenario, but it's like...Clive is a yandere LI, so that's a different type of pissed for him. What I'm basically getting at is: What is Clive Donovan -- fun fact that's his last name. I didn't know until I was tagging it lol -- capable of?

This is honestly another Perfect Love -- y'all remember that review? --scenario. I could honestly drone on and on and do an unplanned 60+ minute powerpoint presentation on this game and how much I love it, but I will spare you that. What I won't spare you is the pressure I'm applying for you to play this game for yourself. I really hope I'm not overhyping it, but I thought it was really, really, really good, and I am excited for you to experience that for yourself; I need you to experience that for yourself. I mean, the link is right here. Just give it a little clicky click. Hell, while you're there, tell the dev "Hey. There was some chick on the internet foaming at the mouth over this game. I now understand. You're really good at doing the thing, so...keep doing the thing!". Monetary support is always appreciated as well, so if you're in the place to do so, give them that extra "Thank you".

That's not really all from me, because, like I said, I could keep going, but I'm going to stop it there. Highly suggested to give this game a try, but remember, it's just a demo. Don't get invested to the point where you wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night and start obsessively checking the dev page every 2 hours for an update...I'm totally not speaking from experience, by the way. That'd be...silly. ...ANYWAYS!

Here's the link to the game once again, here's a link to the dev's tumblr page, and, dude, biggest preesh for getting this far, because I do tend to yap a lot. I'm glad you stuck it out with me, and we could hang out for a bit.

Please, remember to drink water, don't be dumb, and hope to see you around~!

Bro, Clive really does look good, like I want him to wife me up so bad...

LIs compared from Luca vs Noah's universes

(♥️ = Main LI hehe)

[moeblob]

Haha, it's so funny how I am so indecisive that I go "I wanna draw my son" and then have too many ideas as to how. So here!

Take Ferdinands (and a Felix, I suppose, bc they are boyfrinds in my heart and soul).

[miku-meeku]

can't help but imagine opposite sydney being the type to act slutty while actually being a blushing virgin (or corrupt --> pure rather than pure --> corrupt)

i think i read the concept wrong

but too late, i already drew this so-

[tsuutarr]

⚠️these two are yandere OCs (please dni if you don't like yanderes!)⚠️

I finally made refs for them lol here are the posts where they first appear: angel boy, demon boy (both are 18+, so be warned!)

More info below cut:

Finley is your guardian angel and you're his first ever human, so he's very, very, very attached to you. He'd do anything for you if you asked!

His yandere type is the very possessive, clingy, devoted, worshipping type. He's usually pretty docile, but can get violent when he snaps.

If you say you want to eat something, it'll 100% be the breakfast/lunch/dinner of that day.

He also likes taking care of plants!

Tynan, on the other hand, takes a little longer to get super attached to you. He lingers at first because you and your dreams taste the best, but he slowly becomes more and more obsessed when he spends more time with you.

He usually doesn't form attachments to most things, so he's very surprised with how attached he is to you. I can't really fully classify his yandere-type, but he's definitely possessive and has no qualms hurting others to get what he wants.

He actually has a more human form that he uses to work in the human world, so if you say you want something, he'll 100% buy it for you. He's also very artsy, so he can make you stuff as well.

In short, Finley is the breadmaker and Tynan is the breadwinner for you lmao

They're kinda in a standstill where they have a somewhat mutual agreement that as long as you spend time with both of them, they're okay(ish) with sharing, but anyone else, they'll get rid of together <3

If you have any questions about them, please feel to send them my way!!

To treat myself, a devotional moodboard.

[sentientsky]

once again in my "thinking about twelve and clara" hours (aka all the hours)

[unknowingtraitor]

unsure if this is angelic yearning or my various mental ailments but i need to worship someone, something, anything right now. asks are open. let me know if you’d like a devoted angel in your asks or DMs. i’m unsure why and i’ll likely delete this later but i would very much like this.

[ship-garbage-pile]

[in-the-wrong-universe]

fallen angel trope but it was a choice, like yes i fell from grace, it was my decision, i chose to love you, i chose to do this, to love you so hard that the heavens and gods above couldn’t stand it, i would make the same decision every time, i would fall every time for you, i will always love you so hard that they’ll consider it a sin to make it easier on them for never getting that level of devotion, you are the reason i fell and i will never regret it

It just- that level of devotion does something to me, I can’t explain ngjdkasngjk

the dualitiy that exploded in the beginning

Fun fact! Teo used to be my DnD character for a campaign that ended up not working out! She was a fallen aasimar, cleric to the sun god that made her fall in the first place <3

more ramblings about her backstory under the cut vvv (cw suicide mention)

So in my DM's world, aasimar are usually children gifted directly from the gods themselves. There are other ways to become aasimar later in life, but they rely heavily on being in a god's favor. Teo's mother was a very accomplished paladin of the sun god, so when she settled down with her wife the sun god blessed them with a child: Teo! She grew up aspiring to become a great paladin just like her mother, knowing the sun god was already smiling down on her.

Side note. It is nearly impossible to piss off the sun god. The only thing she truly cares about are dragons. Don't fuck with her dragons.

Anyways in her 20-30's she adventures a lot, makes a lot of friends and connections across the land, spreads the good word as is her duty. Even falls in love with a party member along the way. And then her party gets trapped in a fight they can't possibly win. And then Teo makes the split second decision to try to save the rest of the party rather than her wounded lover. And then they die defeating the creature anyways. So Teo is left alone, sole survivor, and her lover is lying there. She goes to heal her, and her magic isn't working. Her lover turned out to be a dragon who took humanoid form, and by letting her die, Teo had betrayed the trust of her god.

Her wings burned off her back until all that remained was smoldering bone, fragile feathers, and pain. Lots of it. A burn that will never truly heal.

A truth about this world is fallen aasimar don't live that long after falling. There's the societal stigma: an unspoken agreement that if you've done something horrible enough to be marked by your god as disgraceful, you will have to work hard to earn any kind of trust. Most fallen aren't given work, are exiled, are sent into the woods to disappear. In all recorded instances of fallen aasimar, most fallen aasimar kill themselves within the first three months.

It's been six years since she fell, and Teo's not dead yet. She's been travelling solo during most of that time, never staying too long in one town in case she gets discovered as fallen. She couldn't go home, because the idea of telling her mothers she failed them was worse than her wings burning. Along her way she managed to pick up a horse she named Penney, who quickly became her only friend. At first she was resentful of falling, hated her creator and herself and the world. Then she was just angry at herself. But she didn't want to die. She just kept moving forward. And after six years, she continued to move.

One night, in a moment of weakness and being drunk as shiittt, Teo tried to pray to her god again knowing damn well she wouldn't get a response. Two days later, the sun god reaches out to her instead, pretty much saying "Hey hi what?? Why are you still alive???". They talk, and Teo asks if there's anything she could do to earn the god's favor again. The god, in an act of pity, allows Teo to become her low level cleric. If she does more good than the harm she's already committed, she will earn her wings back.

Sooooooooooo yeah. Thats where she started in the campaign. My depressed as fuck cleric to a god of sunlight and happiness and dragons. And she's best friends with a horse. Thanks for reading this far lmao.

no but, stellan said he was jealous. he was wary of the closeness, the intimacy, of elzar and avar’s relationship—not bc he was trying to stick to the rules, but because he was JEALOUS. and he was looking at elzar in a way he hadn’t for a long time when he said that!! do u understand!! he said that in their constellation of three, elzar and avar always shone brighter, were always closer together! and even though elzar assured him that he is their polestar—their guide—stellan believes he will always be separate. a part of the whole, but always apart from them. he wants what he can’t have and he’s in love with elzar!! like you understand yes?? he said he was jealous and he’s in love he’s in love he’s in love—
