Devotion (Chinese: 還願; pinyin: Huányuàn; lit. 'Fulfilling a vow') is a first-person psychological horror video game developed by Red Candle Games. It is set in Taiwan in the 1980s, with a majority of the game happening in an apartment complex in Taipei. The game also incorporates elements based on Taiwanese culture and folk religion. The game was released on February 19, 2019, but was removed from Steam shortly afterwards on February 26, after a controversial Easter egg referencing Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, was found in the game.[1][2][3] The game was re-released on March 15, 2021, on Red Candle Games' own digital store.[4]
