* BloodierAndGorier: ''The Devil In Me'' is being advertised as such. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQqe7OjFSaE This interview]] outright confirms it.



* DeadlyGas: One scene in the trailer shows a woman trapped in a room, gagging and grasping her throat as a pressure gauge is shown with its needle in the red.



* SequelEscalation: As the SeasonFinale of the Dark Pictures Anthology, trailers, gameplay footage and interviews demonstrate that ''The Devil In Me'' has several features and expansions not seen in previous games, such as an inventory system, tool-based puzzles, and the ability to run, jump, climb, hide, and squeeze through narrow passages and balance across beams. It's also been mentioned that the game will take at least seven hours to complete (compared to four or five hours for previous games in the anthology), and it will be BloodierAndGorier than anything seen previously.



* ShoutOut: The title of the game is a reference to the quote from the real H.H.Holmes (the guy the SerialKiller is based on); "I was born with '''the devil in me'''".

** The teaser trailer shows death traps that would make [[Franchise/{{Saw}} Jigsaw]] proud, along with accompanying gruesome visuals, such as a splatter of blood on the wall, a bloodied hand holding some kind of surgical tool, a woman choking on DeadlyGas, and an exposed heart with what appears to have pipes coming out of it.

The July 7 trailer features a trap where a man is bound to a chair with a bag over his head as a SinisterScythe is positioned to eviscerate him when the trap activates.

''The Devil In Me'', is an upcoming game developed by ''Creator/SupermassiveGames'', and the season one finale of ''VideoGame/TheDarkPicturesAnthology''. It is currently scheduled to be released in 2022.

A documentary film crew receives an invitation to a replica of the "Murder Castle", hotel of the infamous SerialKiller H.H.Holmes. Desperate for ratings, the crew heads off to the hotel, only to discover that they are being watched, and that ratings are far from the only thing at stake.

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c99FpQYxQnc The first trailer]] dropped on October 29, 2021, only a week after ''VideoGame/HouseOfAshes'' came out. [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1567020/The_Dark_Pictures_Anthology_The_Devil_in_Me/ The Steam page]] went live on June 29, 2022 (although the release date is listed as "coming soon", rather than 2022).

!!Tropes:

* MadArtist: According to the teaser trailer, the unnamed killer (based on H. H. Holmes, America's first SerialKiller) is shown to be this. His idea of "true art" is to watch the life bleed out of someone as they plead and beg for the sweet release of death, and he believes that this is "the mark he's left on the world".
* SeasonFinale: ''The Devil In Me'' is referred to as the "season one finale" of the anthology.
* SerialKiller: The main antagonist will be a serial killer based on H.H.Holmes and his infamous "Murder Castle".
* ShoutOut: The title of the game is a reference to the quote from the real H.H.Holmes (the guy the SerialKiller is based on); "I was born with '''the devil in me'''".
