Digimon Survive [Let's Play] - 11 - Free Time (@ahmadmanga)

Continuing from the last session, Takuma speaks with the rest of his companions. Shuuji and Minoru are still against each other. The other characters take sides...

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.

Not much happened in this session, it's mostly reiteration of the characters viewpoints from the session before... Though I had this cute scene with Haru and Miyuki.~

Saki seems to talk with Shuuji about what to do next. Her view is that even the school building isn't 100% safe, so it's better to explore than waste time. Shuuji's position it's his responsibility to keep everyone safe, so he'll always chooses the safer route for everyone!
