    SPEAK OF THE DEVIL — DEVIL CONNECTION GOES GLOBAL WITH ENGLISH & CHINESE SUPPORT PLUS 1ST ANNIVERSARY SALE!

    PLAYISM & ChaoGames unlock the adventure for worldwide players — and there’s a brand-new scenario to celebrate

    Something delightful has been brewing in the shadows. Publisher PLAYISM and Japanese indie team ChaoGames, led by creator Bayachao, have officially unveiled a major milestone update for their charming, cheeky adventure Devil Connection: English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese language support are now live, opening the gates for players around the globe to join the fun. And to mark the game’s first anniversary on Steam, a celebratory sale is underway.

    What Is Devil Connection?

    Described as a “devilishly cheeky adventure game,” Devil Connection casts you as a summoner who forges pacts with a colourful cast of over 30 distinct, fully animated characters — each with their own lively expressions, unique personalities, and… playful reactions when you interact with them. It’s a whimsical journey through a fantastical, sometimes darkly gothic world, set to an enchanting original soundtrack that perfectly matches its magical atmosphere.

    Originally launching in Japanese on Steam back in October 2025, the game has already won over more than 30,000 players worldwide with its distinctive art style, endearing cast, and the kind of unapologetic, playful charm that only an indie passion project can deliver.

    What’s In the Update?

    This isn’t just a translation pass — it’s a full anniversary package:

    • English, Simplified Chinese & Traditional Chinese — all interface, subtitles, and text now localised
    • Brand-new anniversary scenario — extra story content added to mark the occasion, free for all owners
    • 10% off on Steam — first-anniversary sale running now through 6 November 2026
    • Note when switching languages — playthrough counts and ending collection status carry over, but text display quirks may occur when loading cross-language saves; starting a fresh playthrough is recommended for the smoothest experience

    Coming Soon to Even More Platforms

    The adventure doesn’t stop there. Devil Connection is set to spread further — Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android versions are scheduled to launch 21 January 2027, bringing the game to handheld and mobile players everywhere.

    Why It’s Worth Your Time

    Devil Connection stands out in a crowded field:

    • Hand-drawn art that bursts with personality and expressiveness
    • A lighthearted yet heartfelt story with depth beneath its mischievous exterior
    • 30+ summonable allies, each with their own quirks and interactions
    • A gorgeous original soundtrack that complements every scene
    • Pure, unfiltered indie creativity — the vision of Bayachao and ChaoGames, shaped directly by player feedback over its first year

    Ready to Make a Pact?

    The wait is over — summoners from London to Los Angeles, Beijing to beyond can now step into the world of Devil Connection. Grab it on Steam while the anniversary discount lasts, and keep an eye out for those early 2027 platform releases.

    Just remember: when you make a deal with a devil… they might just be the most delightful friend you ever make.
