Digimon Survive [Let's Play] - 33

Witness the cliche of a villain being killed by a comrade... Also, Renamon is HIM!!

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.

33 - Miyuki's Protector

In this session, we try to find Miyuki who was kidnapped by the enemies... Arukenimon's evilness shines through again.

We finally see Renamon and discover how strong s/he is. Speaking of, the translarion Mod I'm using gives him the masculine gender as the original translation uses inconsistent pronouns with Renamon. Anyway,

Interestingly, Piedmon who's Arukenimon's superior kills her because she failed again and again... Our Digimon partners are frozen in fear, for the first time Agumon says "We can't win!"
