The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of stand-alone, cinematic horror games, designed to present a new terrifying experience on a regular basis.

Each game is unconnected and will feature a brand new story, setting and new cast of characters.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me opens its doors to a whole new cast and terrifying story.

The Lonnit Entertainment TV crew receive a pressing and mysterious phone call from a man called Granthem Du’Met, with a promise of a tour around a faithful recreation of the H. H. Holmes murder castle, an idea that Lonnit Entertainment founder Charlie Lonnit believes might just save his show. 

Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley stars as a member of this ill-fated crew that visits this strange hotel location, a place that quickly turns into a deadly trap made by their disturbed host Granthem Du’Met. Observed, isolated, and manipulated like rats in a maze, it soon becomes clear that the crew’s checkout is compromised, and they will have to make some impossible choices that they might live to regret or just not live at all!

Ready to book a room of your own and face the killer?


Your death is his design and as Halloween comes closer, so does the threat of a terrifying night inside the Murder Hotel.

The trap is set and about to close on the Lonnit Entertainment crew. After luring them in with the promise of an incredible setting for their failing documentary on H.H. Holmes, their host Granthem Du’Met now watches their every move, plotting and planning their most exquisite deaths! A crack in a wall, a mirror or a simple detail on a painting can easily hide cameras to stalk them as the killer searches for the perfect moment to strike, and when he does, a terrible fate awaits you!

Ever get that feeling you are being watched? You most certainly are!

In The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me, a documentary film crew must escape a nightmarish experience in a place called “the murder hotel”, a grim setting where they encounter gruesome discoveries and murderous traps set for them by their mysterious host.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me introduces to the series new gameplay features designed to enhance player immersion and reward exploration. Players can now interact with the world around them by manipulating objects, and running, jumping or climbing to get to hard-to-reach areas. Also new is the inventory system which provides each character with useful tools such as a microphone, camera, and camera flash, along with other objects that can be used to save a life… or take a life. 

The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me delivers over seven hours of gameplay with a mix of action and puzzle solving, where players can explore, escape, untangle mysteries, or find themselves tangled where failure may prove to be costly. The game also sees the return of co-op multiplayer. Players can try to escape this nightmare alone or seek safety in numbers with friends, whether playing online or locally in couch co-op mode.

Each of The Dark Pictures features two multiplayer modes: “Shared Story” – share  your story and play with a friend online and “Movie Night” where you can play with up to 5 players in an offline pass-the-pad mode.

Players will be challenged to explore the world and uncover each story with the knowledge that all their choices have consequences, characters can live or die – will you make it to the end with all of them!

The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me is coming to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (Steam) on November 18, 2022.
