Unavowed (2018)
Unavowed is a 2018 point-and-click video game made by Wadjet Eye Games.
A demon rode you through New York for a year, and you were awake for some of it. The Unavowed, a secret society of monster-hunters, exorcise it and offer you a place in their ranks. What's left of your old life depends on which version of yourself you choose to play: a cop, a bartender, or an actor, each with different connections across the city's five boroughs. Unavowed is a choice-driven point-and-click adventure where your past career reshapes how the stories open, and the team you bring into each case changes what you can solve.

A few thoughts on Unavowed
The party dynamics and urban-supernatural setting pull toward the Diablo tie-in fiction: Diablo: The Sin War - The Veiled Prophet covers the same moral weight of demonic influence and the cost of survival. Within games, the Blackwell series by the same studio, set in the same New York, is the closest companion.
Concept albums that make a familiar world feel subtly wrong
Unavowed's demon-touched New York never looks like the city you thought you knew, and these albums build that same unease through sound. Vangelis' Blade Runner score turns Los Angeles into rain-soaked dread, Repo! The Genetic Opera imagines organ repossession as routine corporate business, Deltron 3030 narrates a satirical future gone wrong, King Crimson's debut opens with an apocalypse, and Muse's Simulation Theory asks whether any of it was ever real.
Ensemble teams that pool different skills against one big threat
Every case in Unavowed depends on who you bring along: an ex-cop, a mage, an actor turned reluctant exorcist, each contributing something different. Sailor Moon's scouts, My Hero Academia's hero classes, Saint Seiya's armored warriors, the four mutant turtles, and Ghost in the Shell's Section 9 all run on the same logic: no single member wins alone, and the story is built around what each one adds to the fight.
