It's time for our favourite kind of development update - a sneaky look at our upcoming new map! This time, it's The Carnival, due for release mid October. As before, our annual Halloween event will launch at the same time, so it'll be a busy time for DEVOUR players. Development is moving at a good pace - we don't have a precise release date yet, but we'll get it to you as soon as we can. Read on for a closer look at what's in store for our next big update.
Story
At the age of 32, Kai Rewiti moved from New Zealand, where he experienced an unhappy childhood, to Los Angeles, USA. After spending much of his life drifting from place to place, Kai finally felt he'd found a sense of purpose when he was befriended by members of the satanic cult The Watchers of Azazel. He soon became the group's newest recruit.
While working part-time as a circus clown in LA, Kai began to experience a creeping mania, greatly exaggerated by witnessing the happy children and families he encountered - a stark contrast to his own upbringing. After luring a group of victims to an underground lair, murdering them and gouging out each of their eyes, Kai performed a ritual learned during his time with the cult, with the intention of taking revenge on a world that had let him down. However, the ritual summoned the demon Azazel, and Kai became possessed by him. It will be your goal to undo the ritual and banish the evil.

Concept Art
Please note: the following images are not fully representitive of in-game models.
Doll We can't decide if these little guys are cute, downright creepy, or both. One thing's for sure, nobody's pulling their strings anymore.
Demon Kai
The man himself - or should we say, the clown. He's got a few nasty tricks up his sleeve, some bad jokes to tell, and he just can't stop smiling at how much fun you're going to have together at The Carnival...
The Carnival marries our commitment to body horror and classic, heart-thumping scares with a sense of fun and absurdity. We are a small, diverse development team, but we share a love for dark humour, and it shines through in this map. We are so excited to share it with you.
A huge thank you, as always, to all our amazing players and supporters. We wouldn't be here without you.
