Digimon Survive [Let's Play] - 39

If you managed to get out of a hellish situation, but your friends weren't so lucky. Will you go back to save them?

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.

39 - Fateful Decision

This time I retry the battle against Piedmon, (I lost last session,) and after the battle Miyuki uses her Song powers to send Piedmon back to the Digimon world...

But that's not all what happened, with the Shrine being destroyed, Miyuki suspects the fog will cover all the island over there... Our friends are in danger.

So Takuma had to make a choice, to stay or go back, to save his friends one last time. I chose to "Save the World" and so I locked into the Harmonious Route of the story.
