Our first playable partner, Agumon, comes to the stage!!
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.

02 - Agumon
In this session, the party gets attacked by monsters and they lose consciousness. I love how Minoru notices his phone's camera showing some weird stuff. As Takuma, the camera system of this game is fun, it allows you to look for hints and items. Hopefully, it won't become tedious as the game goes on.
After the attack, Takuma wakes up and finds himself alone. He meets up with a small cute monster called Koromon and they become friends. Well, friends after the initial freak out period.
When Takuma gets attacked, Koromon evolves into Agumon, and saves him.
This start really reminds me of the beginning of Digimon Adventure anime. I think even the choice of Agumon as the first playable partner is intentional. The story has a more "mature" feel compared to Digimon Adventure, though.
