Digimon Survive [Let's Play] - 29

The fight between Minoru and Falcomon escalates. Saki and Floramon are reaching a middle-ground, though.

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.

29 - Falcomon

In this session, the schism between Minoru and Falcomon escalates... The other kids found a middle-ground with their Digimon partner, but Minoru and Falcomon kept arguing...

The fight gets heated and Falcomon leaves... We later meet with the professor again and he explains more about the Kemonogami and their relationship with humans.

He explains the the Kemonogami (Digimon) reflect their partner's emotional state, and Minoru finally gets that this means if Falcomon evolves into something bad, it'll be his fault...
