Devotion is a singleplayer first-person adventure and puzzle game.
It was released as Huan Yuan Devotion (Simplified Chinese: 还愿 Devotion, Traditional Chinese: 還願 Devotion, Japanese: 還願 Devotion) in Asia on February 19, 2019. Shortly after release, a placeholder asset with unintended political connotations left in the release version of the game led to a controversy where Chinese audiences lambasted the game before its de-listing from Steam China on February 23, 2019. Red Candle Games issued an official apology for their "awfully unprofessional mistake,"[2] and removed the from Steam internationally on February 25, 2019 citing crashes and other technical issues.[3]
Red Candle Games offered a Taiwan-exclusive Limited Edition of Devotion in June 2020.[4]
On December 16, 2020, GOG.com officially announced that Devotion would receive a DRM-free release on their platform; however, GOG.com cancelled the listing hours later citing a high volume of concerned user outreach.[5][6] Devotion finally re-released internationally on the debut of Red Candle Games' official digital store on March 15, 2021 alongside a port to Mac OS X.[1]
While Devotion is currently available via the official website, no plans for a Steam or GOG re-release have been announced.
