Superb horror game Devotion is back on sale digitally two years after it was delisted.
Taiwanese developer Red Candle Games tweeted to say Devotion and its predecessor Detention were now available DRM-free from its own online store. All the studio’s future projects will be sold there, too, the studio added.
“We hope to provide a direct and simple purchasing channel for players who’re interested in our games,” Red Candle said.

Devotion is considered one of the finest horror games of the past decade, but it has proved a controversial one. Following its release in the spring of 2019, Devotion was found to contain an unflattering reference to China’s president, Xi Jinping. The discovery sparked an outcry among Chinese players, leading to the withdrawal of Chinese distributors, the closure of Red Candle’s account on Weibo, one of China’s largest social media platforms, and the removal of the game from Steam in China.
