Honestly not a bad game. The gameplay can get a bit Repetitive, especially later on; Besides that though I love the character designs and I feel that chapter 5 has alot of potential. I'm ready for it. #MurderMonkeyNation

It's decent, but not really scary. Plus it didn't keep track of where I was which kind of pissed me off.

*Disclaimer: The game is not finished yet, Chapters 1-4 have been released but the general audience is still waiting for Chapter 5 so do not take this review as advice for buying the full game on Steam or Epic Games. Instead, I will only be talking about the chapters that have been released. Viewer discretion is advised. Dark Deception is one of the weirdest games I've ever played but remains a game that I speak quite fondly of regardless of the issues the game may have. I remember it popping up in my Steam about section one day as I was browsing through games that I should buy and found it randomly. I was interested but I wasn't sold. It was when the game randomly started appearing on my recommended page on YouTube that I started to take notice. Eventually I downloaded the game about a few days later and began playing. And the first thing that stood out to me were the game's visuals being really good and not lacking in detail when I eventually had to turn down the graphics. I have a pretty bad PC so it can't really handle that many modern games at their full artistic detail, however the game is planned to release on consoles once Chapter 5 releases so eventually I will be able to but I still think they look okay after being turned down. In terms of the actual game, the summary my friends gave me was more or less the same as the actual game itself, "Pac-Man but with horror elements". However I still think it's fine for what it does. What I have an issue with is the game's heavy need on sound to detect when an enemy is near you. The 1st level relies on this so much that I died at least 5 times before I started to understand the enemy mechanics. It does get better later on as you need to rely more on visuals than sound but still is something that didn't exactly give me the best 1st taste. The game has been getting better with more updates and patches to make the game easier and more accessible to other players so that's good. They even have included mini bosses in Chapters 1 & 2 due to how much players loved the boss battles in Chapter 3. The 1st chapter is completely free however all the other chapters do cost money and am a bit annoyed but their pricing, each chapter (aside from Chapter 1) costs 6.99 on Steam with the Complete Edition with Chapters 2, 3 and 4 (with Chapter 5 coming later) costing $19.99. I am certain the complete edition price will become the game's price when the game is fully complete but for those who choose to buy one chapter at a time, this is annoying. The game does get better with each chapter is still something that I just can not ignore. Overall, play the 1st chapter and if you like it enough, consider buying the complete edition (if you can't, just buy the game chapter by chapter). Anyways, thanks for reading. Peace out.
