Before they can leave the summer scouts, they’ve got to spend twelve hours in the loneliest cabin in the woods and wait for the devil to come and live through the night--or not. You know.
A Surreal Summer Camp Dystopia
WE KNOW THE DEVIL is a Group Relationship Horror Visual novel created by weirdo games critic and indefensible twitter account haver Aevee Bee (Mammon Machine:ZEAL) and illustrator and comics artist Mia Schwartz, with a chilling 80s horror synth soundtrack by Alec Lambert (Antibody Productions), live photo backgrounds taken with disposable cameras in the terrifying woods where we live, and aesthetic touches and UI by Lulu Blue.WE KNOW THE DEVIL is a story about everyone who made you cry at summer camp. It’s about missing your Sailor Moon VHS tapes. It’s about how being irresponsible is contagious. It’s about knowing that in a group of three, two of you will be closer than the other.
And it’s about being weird and queer and wrong and hoping against hope no one will find out when the actual, literal devil comes for you.
Pick Your One True Pairing
WE KNOW THE DEVIL truly has no one protagonist; but someone will always be left out. It’s up to you to decide who that is. Instead of choosing a partner, you follow pairs of characters as they learn about themselves and wait for the devil to appear.Will Venus and Neptune stop hating themselves long enough to be friends? Will Jupiter finally tell Neptune what’s been on her mind? Will Venus and Jupiter make it to morning as the only good kids left alive?
Hopefully it turns out the way you want it to. Don’t forget: the price the two pay will be the third.

I enjoyed the story and the writing very much! The art direction and lack of bugs are both excellent. My only qualm is that the devil music "noises" are insanely loud. I get that they're supposed to be off putting but I turned down the volume completely after a second playthrough. Speaking of which- replayability! I appreciate the effort your team put in.
We are bad kids, aren’t we T^T
I wasn't sold at first, but I enjoyed it more with each ending, each new set of dialogue I went through. It's a rather short game, I didn't follow any guide except for the last true ending and I still went through all of it in under 2 hours.
It's difficult to describe why I ended up liking it so much, but I just did. It's interesting seeing all of their repeated quirks, digging into what is really bothering them in their lives.
In this world god is real, the devil is real, and we know the devil.
This game is absolutely fantastic. Only takes a few hours, it's deeply upsetting and disgustingly personal.
Played the whole game at an airport while my flight was delayed. The true ending had me teary-eyed at the gate... and I immediately bought it for two other friends.
unnerving ost but i cant help but be inexplicably drawn to it
much like the game itself actually
What a game! This game really impacted me, and I will definitely be thinking about it for the next few days. Although, I did notice quite a few missing words and grammar mistakes that made some sentences difficult to follow. Still a very good game though!
Oh, man. I wish it was about half an hour longer, but there are multiple endings, so maybe that will satiate me.
After doing one playthrough, it was totally worth the money I spent on it.
holy fucking peak
A short visual novel that makes you face the devil.
It's not for everyone, but I found this story comforting. I grew up with a lot of religious guilt, so a lot of the symbolism really hit home.
I do recommend! I mean you have to face the devil at one point.. right?
The devil gave me a new body and i accepted
Extremely weird. Even more so than the devs other game, Heaven will be mine. But equally queer, so the game definitly has a target demographics and if you are not LGBTQ+, chances are you will either be confused or bored.
I definitly liked HWBM more, perhaps because i really can't connect to the religious guilt part that oozes through this game. But it's a cheep game, so it was still definitly worth it.
Those bitches gay! good for them... good for them
I love this game so much (yuri !!!)
good god. please try this one. if it resonates with you, it'll hit you like a truck.
Maybe the Devil was the best friends we made out with along the way.
I'm gay
Good Game.
It's very artsy if that makes sense, but in a good way that doesn't feel pretentious. The central mechanic is super creative but not hard to figure out at all. Art is really nice looking, it fits the atmosphere well, and the ending CGs are really cool. There are a few grammar/punctuation things that stood out to me, but it definitely didn't ruin the experience or anything. Definitely worth the price.
one of the best written visual novels i've ever played, it made me even gayer, please play it.
they used the wrong they're/their/there once 0/10
joke
very good little game with themes
This game captures a really specific experience that will probably hit you right in the heart if you share that experience but (as someone who didn't feel that way about it at all) it'll still be really enjoyable even if you don't. Also Venus is great and I love her.
i really liked We Know The Devil sure the game is DEFINITELY from 2016 but wow has it aged like…. something that stays relatively similar in quality over like 9 years ir something idk good vn i rate it a 10/10 on the yuri scale
you don't have to worry about the devil if you are him.
Impecable. No puede haber algo tan bien escrito, no puede ser legal. Hay secuencias que hubiera querido que se extendieran infinitamente
Gains a lot upon completionist repeat playthroughs and the final (true?) ending is a joy to behold. Be advised that the story and characters deal critical damage if you're a lesbian with religious guilt, have lost friends or been the lost friend, existed anywhere online in the 2010s or if you've ever felt alone in a room full of people you love. The devil is everywhere but god sees it all, every movie you weren't allowed to see, every nervous change of tabs upon hearing the door creak, all the touch you couldn't have and the bullies you swore you'd kill.
Amazing soundtrack that isnt afraid to hurt when it has to. Greater than the sum of its parts even if they already kicked ass.
a beautiful story with some horrific backstory behind it. the art is gorgeous, even at the times where its terrifying. emotionally devastating, wonderful symbolism and overall a 10/10 game, if i could forget the game so i could play it again i would.
Fantastic horror yuri VN about religious trauma and the (queer) struggles of not being "good", of not being "enough", of not "fitting", of not being able to do it "right" and of ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD
have not stopped thinking about it since i finished it a few months ago. i like venus i like neptune i like jupiter i love the devil
Short but very very good. A playthrough takes about an hour and there's 4 endings to see, all of them worth seeing. The true ending is especially excellent, and was a really nice sendoff to the game after getting the other 3.
*We Know the Devil* is a deeply atmospheric visual novel that masterfully captures the awkwardness, tension, and fragility of self-discovery. It all takes place against the backdrop of a supernatural summer camp. The game is full of eeriness, with its minimalist art style and really fitting soundtrack, however it does offer sincere introspective moments.
Compared to *Heaven Will Be Mine*, I find We Know the Devil to be more more intimate and grounded, focusing on the raw, unspoken dynamics between the three protagonists. While it lacks the philosophical depth of its spiritual successor, it shines in its ability to make every moment feel intensely personal and impactful.
The writing is good, weaving themes of identity, queerness, and belonging into the narrative, and the setting/world is fitting for the story told (with all it's magical realism).
The gameplay centers around choosing which pair of characters spends time together, with the "odd one out" becoming a key part of the story’s emotional core.
Overall, I find We Know the Devil to be a beautiful experience, perfect for those who appreciate thoughtful storytelling and a touch of supernatural dread. If you enjoyed Heaven Will Be Mine, this is probably a must-play – different, yes, yet equally powerful in its own way.
A very short experience that I am nonetheless still thinking about several days later. Best completed in one sitting.
really resonated with me
Bought this game with a handful of others in 2019
Came out in 2022
Actually got to playing this in 2024
This game spoke to feelings Ive had for nearly a decade. Dont be like me, play this game as soon as you can.
Okay look. this game may seem utterly incomprhensible at first. you may not get it at a first, or even second playthrough. but theres something so uniquely personal and tender about this game that when it gets ONE chance to slip through the crack in your armour it hits in a way that will make you feel uncofmortably, horribly seen. I remember playing through Venus and neptunes endings and while i respected the intent i never seemed to got it but then i got to jupiters. and. Oh my god. I swear if you give this game the chance it will rewire your brain chemistry im not joking. Something about being queer and isolated and struggling with your own place in a world that made you believe you deserved to be hated. god. this game GETS it.
incredibly formative visual novel for me. you will find a character or two or three to relate to to some degree. the art and music rock.
very much ironic to be playing this during Christmas Eve xP
went in completely blind and didn't understand the underlying story for a bit, but otherwise the atmosphere was really well done despite some of the odd dialogue and the story is very interesting, and resonating !!
Beautiful story
Good
this game has stuck in my brainwaves and rattled my psyche every time i play it. fundamentally changed what i look for in media since the age of like 15. 10/10 game would recommend
There's something good in every ending. If I'd played this game when I was in highschool I think it would've irrevocably Changed Me in a different way than it is now.
left me emotionally shaken afterwards in a way most games can't. highly recommend, go in as blind as you can
i feel like i SHOULD really like this game? i mean, everything about it screams it'd be perfect for me. spooky vibes, themes of religious trauma, LGBT identity, really fucking strange worldbuilding, extremely good and at times jarring music, really cool use of photos with uncomfortable vibes. And I loved heaven will be mine.
but i just. don't?
none of it resonates with me. all the writing feels like a big bunch of pointless drivel and is saying absolutely nothing? it felt like i was reading something translated from another language or something because it made sense but it. didn't? only one bit of dialogue really did make sense to me, and I DID like that, but that's... one thing in the entire game. The characters just. Felt so strange and weird and inhuman (and not even when they LITERALLY become inhuman, either. i just. didn't get them at all, i guess, and yet everyone acts like theyre insanely well written? I guess it just missed the mark for me.
there wasn't really much of the LGBT theme either, imo, despite that being a selling point and the way they handled the trans character felt really shitty and weird im ngl, lmao but that's MY opinion and I'm probably in the minority, there.
I got this for 2 bucks, so I don't regret it solely for the vibes and music. But... man. This was a huge let down. I was gonna do the true ending, but it seems to be bugged or something for me, and I don't even really care.
Also, the harry potter shit is just... tasteless and weird and gross especially in a fuckin' game so apparently based around LGBT shit, no wonder the trans character was handled so shittily lmao. .
I usually like, weird-ass VNs, I *like* themes of LGBT shit, and spookiness, and religious trauma, etc etc etc as I can personally very deeply relate to it. This hit absolutely none of those except for the vibes, which I admit, were excellent. But that isn't anywhere near enough to carry the whole game, when it's the background, y;know?
I guess I'm just let down. I wanted to feel a bunch of emotions like I did when beating Heaven will be mine, and yet, I felt absolutely nothing.
A wonderful beautiful terrifying horror at summer camp story of three queers, religious trauma, and finding out how to save themselves and each other.
Such a good lilttle visual novel, from my perspective as a queer person that was in a catholic school. Relatable and also quite full of heart and love. It's quite an enjoyable read that has some really hard hitting moments.
"It's like... I didn't realize how much my body was, bothering me, all the time, before? And when they're peeled off it finally feels like I don't have to think about them so much. Like normal."
good game.
There's always a way out together, all of us... To shine and grow and let them all know. It's not just you...it's us. It's hard, but we can become new again.
This game is amazing. I wish I'd played it years ago.
