Overview

The Demons Told Me to Make This Game plunges players into a cosmic horror narrative adventure where the world's final day is a recurring nightmare. Set on October 26, 2016, a day marked by a concluded bloody ritual, a man's lost memory, and the birth of a creature named Dark Wisp, this title explores themes of demons, monsters, cults, and Elder Gods.

It's a time loop game where players embody Dark Wisp, a disembodied spirit with the unique ability to possess individuals and subtly influence their actions through whispered suggestions.
