Devotion was in the news recently as it was eventually made available after being struck off for over two years following the controversy that arose when users found a Winnie the Pooh meme in the game mocking Chinese President Xi Jinping.

In 2020, Devotion was due to return via CD Projekt’s GOG distribution platform, but GOG posted a message later that day saying, “After receiving numerous messages from players, we have decided not to release the game for sale in our store.”

Have you played Devotion?

YESNO

Red Candle Games took matters into their own hands and created their own Red Candle online store to sell their games in the hopes of “providing a direct and easy purchasing channel for players interested in our games.”

For more, check out our Devotion review, where we said, “From start to finish, Devotion is a great psychological horror game full of surreal imagery, scary dolls, and wonderful environmental stories.”
