Dark Deception may look like a horror game, but it’s actually Pac-Man, the creepiest, freakiest Pac-Man game you’re likely to play.
You’re tasked with roaming the corridors of the maps, collecting all the shards (Pac-Mans dots) to complete the level. This is easier said than done though as it’s much harder to do from a first person perspective than a top-down view. Not knowing where the enemies are means there are some real jump scares as enemies pop out from behind corners just in-front of you.
ABG first covered Dark Deception almost a year ago and found it to be “the creepiest, freakiest Pac-Man game you’re likely to play”. A lot has changed since then, and the game has had a significant graphical and audio overhaul, but those sinister Murder Monkeys are still there, lurking behind every corner, ready to scare the living daylights out of you.
Ahmad Khan writes: "Kickstarter is like a magnet for horror games, it seems there's a new one popping up every day. Given the constant flow of options, it takes quite a bit for new horror projects to stand out from the pack. That's something that Dark Deception has done; just ask Markiplier and PewDiePie, both of whom have favorably covered the game in the past. To learn more about the disturbing nightmare that is Dark Deception I sent some questions off to man in charge, Vince Livings, for some additional details."
Remember cancelled Kickstarter Dark Deception? The game is back on the platform, coming on strong having passed Steam Greenlight, with a lower goal, more platforms, and even a playable demo.
