“The more responsibility you give the player the better.”
Kate Wilder, played by Jessie Buckley, stars as the show’s presenter.
Heaton later told me that Wilder was “quite damaged” when I asked more about the character.
The crew’s cameraman is Mark Nestor, who also happens to be Kate’s ex-boyfriend.
This situation can cause tensions between two, or players can try and rekindle their relationship.
(The name Granthem Du’Met is even an anagram of Holmes' birth name, Herman Mudgett.)
Less information is known about the hotel’s interior, however.
Heaton called it “not very believable”, as it was hand-drawn from memory by a journalist.
The first of these is a simple inventory, allowing characters to carry around items found in the world.
Items are primarily used to solve puzzles, but can get lost or break during the game.
Each character starts off with their own unique tool related to their position within Lonnit Entertainment.
Charlie, for example, has a business card he can use to pry open drawers.
Kate has a pencil and is shown shading over a notepad to reveal a hidden code.
“They’re not things you’re going to get stuck on for an hour.”
The other big new feature in The Devil In Me are its overall gameplay and movement improvements.
In gameplay footage we saw, Jamie (as the playable character) performed all of these actions.
Indeed, The Devil In Me has the features any Supermassive fan has come to expect from its games.
As with previous instalments in The Dark Pictures Anthology, all characters can live or die.
Relationship dynamics and character traits will change depending on choices the player makes.
Heaton couldn’t tell me much, but promised this wasn’t the end of the Curator’s story.
“We’re aware of those theories, we enjoy reading them.”
The Devil In Me is set for release on 18th November for PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
