We are incredibly excited to announce that DEVOUR's brand new map The Manor is now available to play for free for players who own the game! Check out the trailer here:
So, it's been a while, and you've been patient. The Manor is a departure from previous DEVOUR maps in more ways than one, and this has taken time to get right. With The Manor, we wanted to (finally) do a classic haunted house map. Incorporating the chilling, ghostly feel of this genre with DEVOUR's essential foundation of intense, visceral co-op gameplay was a challenge.
Half way through the map's development, we went back to the drawing board. We re-made most of the mechanics for the map, as well as some assets, because things just didn't feel right. It wasn't scary enough. And before anything else, we believe DEVOUR should be scary!
The Manor Gameplay
The Manor introduces April North as the possessed cult member. After her fiance is killed on the day of their wedding, she uses wedding guests as sacrifices to summon the demon Azazel. April begs him to open Portals to the Realm of the Dead so that she can search for her lover's soul.
Players can move between Realms by using these Portals (mirrors). Both Realms are the same environment, but with some different properties and possibilities. In order to reverse the ritual and banish Azazel from April's possessed body, you'll be working to reunite the bodies of the sacrificed dead to their severed heads. We'll leave it to you to figure out exactly what you'll need to do. As GLaDOS said, just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake.
Check out what else is included in The Manor update in the full changelog at the end of this post - we've also fixed a ton of issues across the game in general.
