↪ 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑫𝑬𝑽𝑰𝑳 𝑰𝑵 𝑴𝑬 . ( a series of sentence starters from the 2022 supermassive game “ the devil in me ” . adjust phrasing as necessary . spoilers & mature themes are present . )
i bet you can see a hundred miles from the top .
you mean you’re not weary of me after an entire day of marriage ?
are we the only ones here ?
that’s no way to run a business .
that’s my [ name ] , always finding that silver lining .
my attention was needed elsewhere .
i promise from here on out , it will be nothing but silver linings .
today is a very special day for us .
i’m starting to think i’ve gone & married a thrill seeker .
are we looking for excitement ?
see what happens when you chase a thrill ?
if you’ll excuse me , i have work to return to .
i’m sure we’ll see each other again soon .
this feels like some sort of treacherous plot .
close your eyes , & face the mirror .
aren’t you clever & romantic ?
don’t fight it … it’ll only hurt more if you do .
you’re only prolonging the inevitable .
you’re wasting your last chance to tell him that you love him .
it’s so good to have company . for a long time , i was on my own .
i can barely recall a time when i was not here .
what good are stories without someone to experience them ?
art can elicit all sorts of reactions .
you’re responsible for what happens . you’re culpable .
i can’t interfere , that’s very much against the rules .
it’s tough being honest when it means everyone just thinks you’re a bitch .
i’m sick of being on my own .
it’s a fucking mess , to be honest with you .
i think we’ve heard quite enough .
i was born with the devil in me .
i could not help the fact that i was a murderer any more than a poet can help the inspiration to sing .
just being dead ain’t enough to stop me from killing again .
actually , it’s what i can do for you .
do you know where we’re going , exactly ?
it was 100% your fault . you fly by the seat of your ass .
was this part of the plan ? did you know about this ?
i figured we needed all the help we could get .
downtime ? why would you want to do that ?
i’ve got a lot going on at the moment , [ name ] .
you got any family you can go bother ?
‘ married to the job ’ … how’s that marriage working out ?
we agreed to let that drop for the weekend .
sorry for giving you a hard time .
christ , what the hell is that ?
it’s gonna be okay , it’s all gonna be okay .
i’ll explain everything later .
are you sure ? ‘cos you don’t seem sure .
i’m charming , & you can hotwire your way past security .
hey , can i ask you something & get a straight answer ?
this is ridiculous , there’s nothing out here .
i heard you were looking for a new place .
if i wanted to go on nature hikes , i wouldn’t have moved to the city .
you can do it . eyes forward , don’t look down .
you always knew how to get me through the shit , didn’t you ?
maybe this won’t be a waste of a weekend .
i told you this was a good plan , didn’t i ?
you’ve been out & about all day , & i have to sit here worrying . gone all day , & not a word from you !
i don’t think we’re the only ones here .
this is my don’t be scared song , sing it & i won’t be scared long !
scream if you need me for anything .
something about this place makes me wanna use the buddy system .
you talk in your sleep … not sure if i ever told you that .
you’re cute when you’re worked up .
cute ? … you think i’m cute ?
i try to pretend like it isn’t a thing , you know .
if my cheeks are red , it’s from this wine .
sorry . didn’t mean to make you feel weird .
i’m fucking with you , i’ve been wanting to kiss you for months .
sorry , did i interrupt something ?
i can’t find my room & i need a fucking cigarette .
i’m not stressed , okay ? do i look fucking stressed ?
this place is massive , surely there’s a pack of cigarettes here .
stick with me , [ name ] , i’m going places .
[ name ] , there’s something important you have to understand .
no , come on , you piece of shit … don’t do this to me !
i’m supposed to buy “ nothing ” is eating up at you ?
what about taking a huge risk & just DO something ?
are you trying to butter me up ?
we don’t need to rehash stuff , let’s just work .
you’re only asking me ‘cos your arms are too short for a good selfie angle .
maybe we should just add this topic to our “ discussion no - fly zone ” list .
shit , that scared the fuck out of me .
at some point , you have to give up the ghost .
you’ve been doing your research , haven’t you ?
are you taking a survey or trying to learn something ?
would it kill you to be direct ?
you want to know what inspired me ? as if i wasn’t the original ?
you look amazing , as usual .
i heard enough , thank you , i know what betrayal sounds like .
i’m not blind , i know what i saw .
this could work to our advantage .
am i the only one that’s getting really freaked out by this place ?
can you stop trying to make this worse ?
don’t come crying to me if you end up dead .
choices , [ name ] , make better choices .
this is your own damn fault .
it’s all about the honey trap .
you bring me some smokes ? like i asked ?
that’s what i remember most . those screams .
you’ll never really know how it feels to watch the fire burn out of somebody .
thanks for that stuff you said at dinner . it was nice to hear .
we’re all on the same side , sometimes we forget .
get me out of here ! i can’t see a thing !
count your breaths . one, two, three, in …
how very rude , not to stay for dinner .
i can only observe , & it can be … frustrating to watch .
in some ways , i envy you .
something is very not right here .
i’ve been waiting on you for ages to actually make a decision about something , anything , & now this is when you suddenly choose to take a stand ?
your delusions make for such great plans .
would it kill you to think positively just once ?
it’s not even the worst idea i’ve had this evening .
don’t go patting yourself on the back , i still think your priorities are fucked .
i can care about more than one thing at a time .
working this job has made me really understand what a sociopath is .
you always assume the worst .
help me ! please – please , i’ll do anything !
maybe you’re right , but you don’t need to be an asshole about it .
i guess i was holding out for things to change with us .
i have never once shied away from telling you where my priorities were .
i have to live with it every day & now someone knows .
someone WANTED me to find this .
you have to get the fuck out ANY way you can . just get the FUCK OUT !
are you losing your shit ? ‘cos i don’t need that right now .
maybe we just focus on one thing at a time .
[ name ] … i found a way out , maybe .
i don’t know what i was expecting .
[ name ] , what are you doing ? just stay back .
no way this is happening .
it’s gotta be fake … a prop , or from … an animal or something .
it can be difficult working with someone you’ve been involved with .
i think we can bust through this thing .
i’ve had enough of this shit , what the hell is going on ?
the walls are moving again .
i’m not a fuckin’ lab rat here for your amusement !
don’t look at me like that . you know i’m right . you get it .
you got to do something that matters .
think of the most profound thing you’ve ever done .
i see the gleam in your eye , [ name ] . you can’t fool me .
there … there you are . i see you now .
bare hands can feel good , huh ? but the blade makes for such a prettier picture .
how far down does it go ?
there’s blood everywhere , & … & a body .
one of us is going to have to be bait .
you could use that as a weapon if need be .
what an excruciating way to go .
people can surprise you sometimes .
as always , i’ll be watching very closely .
it’s a forest , it could be anything .
can you not freak me out even more than i already am ?
you’re a selfish monster … always have been .
predictable little shit , i know you .
[ name ] ! i thought i lost you .
all good things must come to an end .
can you find your own way out ?
i have no doubt we’ll meet again in the future .
