Digimon Survive [Let's Play] - 37 -A Fresh Start

4 days ago

Takuma finds himself, Agumon and Miyuki transported to the human world.

Digimon Survive is a Digimon Visual Novel with Turn-based strategy battles. The game follows a group of children who find themselves in another world, and their desperate attempts to find a way back home. The children find themselves involved with monsters, both as partners and enemies.

This is the darkest piece of Digimon media I ever consumed, and Cybersleuth had pretty dark stuff too. Digimon Survive fuses the concept of Digital Monsters with Japanese folklore. It's amazing how the idea of "child sacrifice" integrates seamlessly with Digimon lore. The specific Digimon they choose for this game enhance this theme.

Digimon Survive is the closest modern entry to the old school Digimon anime vibes. Though, more than the earlier Digimon anime series, the game reminds me more of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor series. In that series too, characters may die depending on your actions.

Below you can watch my playthrough of Digimon Survive, and the link to the whole playlist.

THIS PLAYTHROUGH IS MODDED: I installed the Improved Translation Mod and the Quirky Dialogue Font Mod. This playthrough should look a bit different from the official version.

37 - A Fresh Start

The session starts with a flashback with Takuma and his Mom... He wakes up to Agumon and discusses the last thing they remember...

They find Miyuki nearby who tells them about how the Master took away half of her soul, and now she finally got it back... She also thanks Takuma for being nice to her when she couldn't communicate with them earlier... Interestingly, she knows she's been out of it for a long time, so "When is it right now?"
