Players ofThe Devil In Meneed to control protagonists led by investigative reporter Kate Wilder and director Charlie Lonnit as they try to outwit a killer whose murders are heavily inspired by Holmes. Taking cues from otherDark Picturesgames, players rely on logic and quick-time events to outpace this Holmes copycat. However, for more sadistic players, is there a way to let the killer win?
This guide contains significant spoilers, so players should proceed with caution.
How to Kill Erin
Among the cast members ofThe Devil In Me, Erin has the most number of opportunities to die throughout the game. Players get a sample opportunity to have Erin killed as soon as they enter the replica Murder Castle, but other opportunities could arise where Erin may die. Here are these circumstances:
How to Kill Charlie
Charlie is the second character amongThe Devil In Mecast that can get an early death, although it happens a bit later than much of Erin’s circumstances. Here are the points in the game where players can get Charlie killed.

How to Kill Mark
While Kate is arguably the character with the most playability, Mark is more difficult to kill. In cases where he’s caught by Du’Met, Mark somehow manages to find ways of getting out. This is eventually explained with his relevance to the rest of the game’s plot. However, there are ways of killing Mark to get the worst ending:
How to Kill Kate
Kate ofThe Devil In Meis perhaps the character with one of the fewest death chances throughout the game. Alongsideher ex-boyfriend Mark, Kate is the only other character whose opportunities for death come at rather unique moments. In order to kill Kate, players need to do the following in their playthrough of this interactive drama:
How to Kill Connie
Throughout the course of the player’s journey inThe Devil In Me, they will eventually discover that the Morello family previously owned a dog named Connie. When Kate and Jamie become stuck in the barn, players have the option to save both Jamie and Connie, with the dog even accompanying them as they attempt to escape via the speedboat. However, there’s a way to kill Connie in the game:
How to Kill Everyone
Should only Kate and Mark survive (yes,even the dog isn’t spared) the ordeal, the entire “Lake” chapter doesn’t happen. Rather, they get sent straight toUltimatum. In here, Mark and Kate wake up to a rather unpleasant situation. At this point, Mark has to make a difficult choice.
How to Kill Everyone At Once
One of the more satisfying ways to complete this achievement is to have everyone survive, therefore bringing players to the climactic finish involving a boat escape inthe Lake chapter. As players expect, Du’Met resurfaces for a final showdown like in horror films, forcing gamers to undergo yet another string of quick-time events to ensure Du’Met is eliminated for good. Failing all the QTEs will result in all the characters dying, earning the achievement.
While this does take a long time to happen throughout the playthrough, this approach is exactly like a horror film that subverts a hopeful ending. Not only that, players can also reboot their save and do the QTEs correctly, saving everyone in the boat and earning theHappy EndingAchievement.
