Released in February 2019 to universal praise, Taiwanese horror Devotion only spent a matter of days on Steam before it was removed due to a controversial depiction of Chinese president Xi Jinping.

The good news is that the game is now available digitally, direct from studio Red Candle Games. Devotion is available for $17 for both Windows and Mac, or you can add the soundtrack for a total of $20.68. The studio's previous horror Detention is also available on the site, and it's all DRM-free.
