3rd place: Demons' Crest 3: Demon Awakening

A deadly game of suspicion and intrigue unfolds in the third act of a survival game among elementary school students!

The 6th-grade class of Yukihana Elementary is trapped in Althea, a world transformed into a prison known as "Composite Reality." Yuma and his classmates attempt to work together to escape, but unexpected betrayals lead to some members being petrified one by one. "Why, Futatsuki...?" Mysterious attacks with unclear motives, the betrayal of trusted friends, and the newly discovered existence of "Demonize Ratio"—a measure of demonic transformation—unveil themselves. Even young Sawa and Aria experience demonic transformations. As they struggle to survive, the young ones deepen their reliance—unknowingly—on coexisting with demons, unaware of its true meaning and the cost they will have to pay.
