About This Demo

The Demons Told Me to Make This Game is a dark narrative adventure about demons, monsters, evil cults, bloody rituals, and Elder Gods.

You play as Dark Wisp, a disembodied spirit tasked to protect a crew of amateur exorcists from demons invading the Earth. Unable to interact with the physical world directly, you’ll rely on your powers instead:

• Possession — take over one exorcist at a time and whisper thoughts into his or her ear.

• Time Manipulation — Rewind time to change the outcome of events.

As you make your hosts relive the same events again and again, they will resist and rebel. You will have to experiment — and make them do unspeakable things — to find out what is really happening in Red Hives and how to stop the imminent End of the World. 

To complete TDTMTMTG, you will have to solve a series of time loops.

Loops are broken down into Time Slots to help you experiment with their interconnected events. In each Time Slot, you will possess one host, leaving the rest to their own devices, free to make their impressively bad decisions.

Keeping your hosts alive won't be easy. To weave a timeline of their survival, you will need to see the events from different perspectives and rely on numerous, often cruel experiments. You will make your hosts do despicable things, and you will watch them die, over and over again, gaining knowledge and wisdom with each instance. 

Once you have crafted the perfect sequence of events, the loop is completed, and the story moves forward.

Flawed as they are, your hosts are thinking people. You don't have direct control pver what they do or say. 

Each host has a unique, somewhat strong personality. Gum is bad at socializing, perpetually tense, and doesn't trust anyone other than herself; Tape is a super chill people pleaser with zero trust issues. Making them do what needs to be done will require finesse and patience, as well as complete disregard for their well-being.

Be their best friend. Be their worst bully. Cheer for them. Mock them. Take advantage of their deepest fears and anxieties. The hosts may not always listen, but they will always hear you. And even if reasoning with them fails, you can always play a mini-game to hijack their brains.

To solve the time loop, you will have to make your hosts do terrible things that go against their very nature.

Come on, kick that annoying old lady. You know you want it. It’s okay. Just do it.

Red Hives may look like a small, dying town where nothing ever happens, but don't let the looks deceive you. The history of this place is riddled with terrible tragedies and things way worse than demons lurk in its shadows.

The only ones standing against the darkness are a ragged crew of exorcists. Brave but hopelessly unprepared for what they face. Fortunately, they have you. As you guide them, bending wills and shaping fates, one question lingers: whose side are you really on?
