Digimon Survive [Let's Play] - 19

We try to persuade Miu to escape with us, but as soon as we start running two strong Digimon appear: Monzaemon and Garurumon. Miu's partner Digivolves!

Digimon Survive is a Digimon Visual Novel with Turn-based strategy battles. The game follows a group of children who find themselves in another world, and their desperate attempts to find a way back home. The children find themselves involved with monsters, both as partners and enemies.

This is the darkest piece of Digimon media I ever consumed, and Cybersleuth had pretty dark stuff too. Digimon Survive fuses the concept of Digital Monsters with Japanese folklore. It's amazing how the idea of "child sacrifice" integrates seamlessly with Digimon lore. The specific Digimon they choose for this game enhance this theme.

Digimon Survive is the closest modern entry to the old school Digimon anime vibes. Though, more than the earlier Digimon anime series, the game reminds me more of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor series. In that series too, characters may die depending on your actions.

Below you can watch my playthrough of Digimon Survive, and the link to the whole playlist.

THIS PLAYTHROUGH IS MODDED: I installed the Improved Translation Mod and the Quirky Dialogue Font Mod. This playthrough should look a bit different from the official version.

VS Garurumon

In this session, we track Miu and find her hiding inside a treasure chest. We tell her about the danger and that powerful monsters are targeting her, but she thinks we were lying.

When Miu said every Digimon around her is nice, treating her as their queen, Saki tells her that these Digimon are being hurt as we speak trying to protect her. That's when Miu realizes the danger of the situation...
