The mind is a crime scene."
You are Special Agent Alex Mercer — profiler for the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. Tasked with hunting a ritualistic killer in the American Rust Belt, you’re plunged into a labyrinth of decaying towns, lost memories, and occult riddles.
As the investigation deepens, so does the darkness — and the only thing more twisted than the murders... is your mind.
The Devil’s Format is a third-person, cinematic horror experience blending:
Brutal melee combat inspired by Condemned: Criminal Origins
Interactive environments à la Silent Hill: Downpour
Forensic investigation and profiling from Mindhunter and Crimes & Punishments
A narrative spiral where your own sanity is the final mystery
Explore desolate, surreal locations shaped by trauma and guilt
Collect forensic evidence, decode symbolic patterns, and reconstruct crimes
Fight desperate, close-quarters battles using improvised weapons
Face dream logic, interrogation twists, and unreliable memory
Uncover the truth — or become the final piece of The Devil’s Format
