“There has been a rise in a certain type of puzzle genre that many may have missed if they generally only play on consoles since the genre itself has thrived on PC and has only recently started to appear on other platforms. This happens to be the anomaly-spotting genre where players tend to be tasked with keeping an eye out for changes within an environment or people and then picking out whats wrong. There are a number of extremely popular types that have risen to great heights but Hideworks The Devil is in the Details is looking to try to put its own spin on things, by dialing the horror notch up to maximum and putting players through as much of a wringer as they want to in this complex and interesting take on the genre.”
