Digimon Survive [Let's Play] - 30

Minoru's quest of getting his apology heard!

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.

Bonds Tested

This session continues the kids questioning their bonds with their Digimon. Minoru finally feels bad about how he treated Falcomon, but Falcomon decided to not get back even after Minoru apologized...

Minoru isn't the only one, Saki isn't sure about how to treat Floramon. Takuma trusts agumon, though. Aoi decided to trust Labramon, and Kaito doesn't care too much...

...Add to all this a weird subplot between Garurumon and the professor. Garurumon seems to hate him specifically for some reason...
