DEVOUR News

The team at DEVOUR are really excited to bring you details of our upcoming new map, The Inn. In this terrifying addition to the game, Zara will be the one chasing you down – in ways that will be brand new to our current fans.

We are implementing some exciting new mechanics and objectives to reinvent the gameplay you've all enjoyed in our first two maps, and we can't wait to see what you think!



The Inn is set in Zara's native Japan, where she has been hiding out in the caves beside her family owned guest-house. Using rituals remembered from her time with satanic cult The Watchers, Zara has been trying to summon the goat demon Azazel. But Azazel has possessed Zara's body and mind in the cruellest of ways: now, she will be switching between her human form and that of a terrifying, giant spider, commanding hordes of venomous demon spiderlings.

We're aiming to release The Inn by the start of October 2021 for free.







We're also excited to announce that we are currently working on other features to improve the game experience, such as a rank/leveling system, player perks and new outfits. Stick with us for more information in the future.

Calling all digital artists!

We're running a competition to have a piece of fan art included in DEVOUR's new, upcoming map.
We're looking for something that will be used as a large wall poster (will not be framed). The style should be modern, Japanese, and without any English text. Use of Japanese characters is okay.

Something along the lines of a movie, music or food poster would be ideal. We're especially interested in comical ideas that link to DEVOUR thematically.

Art should be submitted via the #art-contest channel of our Discord server. High resolution image files only (PNG/JPG), please. Final date for submissions is August 5th, 2021. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions in the comment section below.

We're working hard on the upcoming map. Keep an eye out for a news post with more details in the near future.

We're releasing a small patch today to address some security issues. Please let us know if you encounter any issues.

• Improvements to help prevent hackers bypassing security checks
  
• Lobby UI is now always visible so that you can reliably select the Kick button
  

Please note that we are actively working very hard on the next map and will share details with you about it as soon as we can. Thanks for all the support!

Welcome to Update 1.5! We're excited to bring you a full audio redesign for The Farmhouse map as well as a new paid-for custom outfit.

[h2]The Farmhouse Audio Redesign[/h2]

With Update 1.5, you can enjoy a more immersive, chillingly atmospheric horror experience with the introduction of our fully revamped audio for The Farmhouse map. This is thanks to Steve Brooks, our very own audio engineer, who we welcomed to the team whilst working on The Asylum. We've been wanting to bring this to players for a while, and we'd love to know what you think (and how many goosebumps you got!)



[h2]New Outfit: Slice and Dice[/h2]

Introducing Nathan as everyone's favourite head chef! He's a dab hand with a cleaver. We're not sure where those blood splatters came from, though..



We're listening to the community and we know you've been keen to get your hands on more content for DEVOUR. Our paid-for custom outfits give you a way to personalise your favourite playable characters, as well as support the future development of the game. Keep an eye out as we release more outfits for our other characters in the future.
