Read the heart. Stir it. Harvest the magic.
A choice-driven adventure where you contract a powerless little devil and summon kemono characters across the world of Majirisia. You wield the devil's Evil Eye search to peer into each target's heart, read what moves them, then pick one of two dialogue choices to raise their emotion and harvest the magic that pours out. An affection-style emotion meter, multiple endings, a dark-fantasy, dark-humor tone. A solo-feeling work by the Japanese creator Bayachao as ChaoGames, in the lineage of the affection-parameter raising adventure Tokimeki Memorial. An English version does not exist yet, so the West has barely found it.

01First, the one feeling
- The Evil Eye opens and a target's heart lies bare in front of you, so you stop guessing and start reading: this is what moves them, this is the soft spot, and the next thing you say is no longer a gamble but an aimed shot.
- Two lines appear, and you weigh them not for romance but for leverage, picking the one that will spike their emotion highest, because the higher you lift it the more magic pours out when it breaks.
- And when the read is right and the choice lands, the meter surges and the harvest hits, a dark little thrill of having seen straight through someone and turned their feeling into power. Then the next target waits, and you want to read them too.
02Who this is for (and who it is not)
For you
- You love the read-the-heart, raise-the-meter core of Tokimeki Memorial, but want it twisted into a devil's contract that harvests emotion as magic
- You want a choice-driven ADV with a dark-fantasy, dark-humor tone, an affection-style emotion meter, multiple endings, and kemono characters to collect
- You want a gem the West has not found yet, Overwhelmingly Positive in Japan at 99 percent yet only 79 English reviews out of 1,842
Not for you
- You need to play in English right now (an English version does not exist yet; the store is Japanese-only, and English localization first arrives with the 2026 Switch version)
- You want a straight romance dating sim rather than a dark-humor comedy where you harvest emotion as a devil's magic

DevilConnection Buried gem
A choice-driven adventure about contracting a powerless little devil and summoning kemono characters across the world of Majirisia. You wield the devil's power, an Evil Eye search, to peer into each target's heart and read what stirs them, then pick one of two dialogue choices to raise their emotions and harvest the magical power that pours out. An affection-style emotion meter, multiple endings, and photo and collection elements wrap a dark-fantasy, dark-humor comedy tone. Made by the Japanese solo creator Bayachao under the name ChaoGames, self-published on Steam (a Switch port via PLAYISM is planned for 2026). In the lineage of the affection-parameter raising adventure that Tokimeki Memorial established, only it swaps romance for a devil's contract that harvests emotion as magic. Overwhelmingly Positive in Japan at 1,842 reviews and 99 percent, yet the West has barely found it: just 79 English reviews out of 1,842, and an English version does not exist yet (the store is Japanese-only). Note: English localization first arrives with the 2026 Switch version; on PC it is Japanese-only for now.
Give it your first passTokimeki Memorial The origin
The origin of the affection-parameter raising adventure: in 1994, Konami built a dating sim where you read each girl's interests, then raise an affection parameter through dialogue choices and daily actions over a three-year calendar toward a confession. No official Steam release. This gem is a direct heir to that core, reading a target's heart and choosing how to speak to lift their emotions, only it makes the harvest a devil's magic rather than romance.
