Horror Visual Novel Devil's Liminal to Launch in Q3

A chilling story weaving Azorean folklore with demonic influence and real-world horror escalates gradually over one summer in a small Arizona town

Amsterdam—February 12, 2026—Studio Interlude announced today that the upcoming supernatural horror game DEVIL'S LIMINAL will launch in late summer 2026. Currently in Early Access on Steam, the yuri visual novel blends elements of Azorean folklore and Faustian legend with contemporary themes of domestic violence and mental health.

DEVIL'S LIMINAL takes place over one blistering summer in the 2000's. Margo Silva has done everything she can to leave behind the trailer park in Arizona where she grew up. Now all she has to do is focus on her job until she can leave for college. Her illusion of a quiet summer is shattered when a hungry ghost enters her dreams, and two mysterious girls show up in town, each claiming they can help her. Margo must contend with a demon's claim on her soul, and how to stop ghosts from this life and the past that want to take her future.

Play as Margo, influencing future events and other character's actions as the story builds in tension and dread to its horrific conclusion where Margo determines her own fate. Disturbing dreams that open windows to a mysterious past, rituals to consume souls, and grave robberies in the desert feed Margo's growing sense of unease as she weighs pursuing relationships with Bec and Clara. As Margo tries to focus on a promising future, she's dragged back into a legacy of violence, poverty, and blood pacts.

The Early Access version of DEVIL'S LIMINAL features approximately 13 hours of gameplay, taking Margo through each day from June 7th to August 16th. Two sapphic romance routes are available, depending on player choices, along with 12 unlockable gallery images, original retro inspired 2-bit dithered art, an original soundtrack inspired by 90's alternative music, and partial voice acting.

*Multi-layered story explores abusive relationships interwoven with themes of cultural heritage and generational demonic influence that builds slowly over one summer in modern day small-town Arizona.
*The story confronts difficult topics and violent incidents directly but with empathy for the characters.
