About DEVOUR
DEVOUR is an indie co‑op horror survival game for 1‑4 players that pits a team against possessed cultists and the goat demon Azazel. Players must locate ritual items, use a UV flashlight for defense, and complete a banishment before time runs out.
A single‑player mode lets a lone player face the same challenge, while Nightmare mode offers an “ultimate challenge.” The game features randomized map elements, full VR support, and a progression system that awards experience and Ritual Tokens for unlocking Perks.
01 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Play
Up to four players can join an online session, each controlling a cult member tasked with stopping possessed cultists. The team must coordinate to locate key ritual items and defend with the UV flashlight, using the built‑in positional voice chat for communication.
A server browser lets you find other players, and the same mechanics are available in a single‑player mode for solo attempts. Each session can last up to an hour as the difficulty escalates.
- Use positional voice chat to call out enemy locations and item spots.
- Assign one player to focus on gathering ritual items while others guard with the UV flashlight.
02 / THE GUIDE
Map Randomization
Each themed map introduces a new environment, new items, and new fiends. Locked doors, ritual objects, and item spawns are randomized, ensuring that no two playthroughs are identical.
The unpredictable AI and varied layouts increase replayability, requiring players to adapt their strategy for each session.
- Explore quickly to locate locked doors and potential item spawns.
- Observe early enemy patterns to anticipate AI behavior.
03 / THE GUIDE
Progression System
After each playthrough, players earn experience that raises their Cult Rank and grants Ritual Tokens. These tokens can be spent to unlock Perks, providing advantages in future runs.
The system encourages repeated play, as higher ranks and unlocked Perks improve the chances of successfully banishing the demon.
- Focus on completing rituals to maximize experience gain.
- Spend Ritual Tokens on Perks that suit your preferred playstyle.
04 / THE GUIDE
Nightmare Mode
Nightmare mode is presented as the “ultimate challenge” for players who find the standard difficulty easy. Selecting this mode changes the overall difficulty level of the session.
Choosing Nightmare tests a team’s coordination and execution, offering a benchmark for skill improvement without altering core mechanics.
- Practice on standard difficulty before attempting Nightmare.
- Maintain clear communication, as the challenge level is higher.
05 / THE GUIDE
VR Support
DEVOUR includes full VR support at no extra cost, allowing players to experience the horror in virtual reality while retaining all core gameplay elements such as the UV flashlight and ritual mechanics.
VR mode uses the same maps, enemies, and progression systems as the non‑VR version, providing an immersive alternative without additional purchases.
- Clear your play area before starting VR to avoid collisions.
- Adjust headset comfort settings if jump scares feel overwhelming.
