Dark Deception (Video Game) | comment |
Dark Deception is a Pac-Man inspired horror game developed by Glowstick Entertainment.You play as a faceless protagonist who apparently has met their end. Rather than go to the great beyond, you find yourself face to face with a woman named Bierce who offers you a chance to live again in exchange for a few small... tasks. Namely, heading into a few portals and collecting a few gems. Seems simple enough, save for the fact that the places she sends you to are nightmare realms patrolled by some very ghastly beings who aren't afraid to rip you apart on sight. Bierce offers a little aid, but for the most part, you're on your own with nothing but your wits to survive. Plus there might be the tiny little fact that Bierce might not be on the up and up...A demo for the game featuring the first level was released in 2014, while the finished Chapter 1 (containing said level from the demo) was released in September 2018. Chapter 2 was released in January 2019, and Chapter 3 was released in June that same year. Chapter 4 was released in September 2021, with Chapter 5 releasing at an unknown date. Alongside Chapter 4's release was a massive Enhanced update that came with a variety of visual improvements and updated level design, including a set of secrets describing a mysterious person only known as "E" and their travels through this purgatory.A multiplayer-based spinoff known as Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals was released in November 2020. It is a four-player game where players compete in mazes to collect the most shards while avoiding being killed by one another. It also received various crossover DLCs based on different IPs, consisting of at least one playable mortal and monster and a new level.No relation to Tecmo's Deception series. | |

Source Music: This happens consistently at the start of all Chapter 4 levels, with two tracks being played in an area while one is played by the characters. An implied example. Zone 3 of "Bearly Buried" reveals that thousands of souls make up the outer walls of the cave, and it's possible that they are voicing their agony through the level's tracks. | |

Ironic Name: The ring that we are trying to forge has a name and origin that contradicts each other. Bierce describes the situation best herself. Malak's name actually means angel in Arabic. And yet again, he is very much a demon. Agatha's name means to be both good and honorable. She is neither good nor is she honorable. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In lieu of the more common handle of "Pyramid Head", the Silent Hill DLC refers to the famous demon from 2 as "Red Pyramid Thing", which is how James referenced it. One of the dead-ends in "Monkey Business" has graffiti that reads "Evans was here". This is referencing Detective Evans, who was the original protagonist of the 2014 demo of the game and also appears as one of the mortals in Monsters & Mortals. Interacting with the graffiti replaces the music with that of the 2014 demo. The Chef Monkeys appearing in the kitchen after the player collects all the shards can be seen as a callback to a much earlier version of the "Monkey Business" level. Back then they could be seen in the kitchen but they never chased the player like they do in the enhanced version. | |

Lured into a Trap: After following the Clown Car, Doug finds a strength tester and scores perfectly on it. However, the audience starts to boo him. He then realizes he was tricked as the game poofs into thin air and a cage drops on him. Then the same Clown Car he was been following drifts around the cage only to stop and release a squad of Clown Gremlins who try to break inside. Luckily, Doug is able to Curb Stomp them by poofing them with Primal Fear. | |

Nightmare Fuel Coloring Book: In "Elementary Evil", there is a secret room containing a whiteboard with a disturbing drawing on it. The child who drew it is in the back of a car that is on fire and sinking into a body of water. Mommy is in the front of the car, presumably dead. Daddy is watching this happen from a distance and smiling. Considering the writing on the walls, it makes for some disturbing implications about the protagonist. | |

Body Horror | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: A lot of the monsters you will encounter can have a chance of having pretty disturbing anatomy. Agatha has Creepy Long Arms with Creepy Long Fingers that are clawed and burned. Her face on the other hand is not any better as she has both Black Eyes of Evil and a Glasgow Grin. What's worse, blood marks will begin to appear near the edges of her scars once she goes into a frenzy. Both versions of the Watchers are capable of moving their faces, but doing so causes their faces to crack and distort. The Dread Duckies have misshapen empty eyeholes, a cracked forehead, have smaller heads in their mouths, and their legs are not only human-like but shriveled too. And just like the Dread Duckies, the Doom Ducky also has grey and shriveled limbs. Except they aren't legs, they're arms. Dozens of them. All of these emerge from the many holes on it's hunched back, with one of them acting as its neck to support its nail-cracked head. Underneath their bear masks, the Trigger Teddies actually have doll heads that resemble a mummified baby skull with a missing eye. And somehow despite us never seeing her true face, Mama Bear is even worse than her babies when it comes to monstrous body features. For starters, she has a large unstitched tear in her stomach which is filled with pink stuffing that gives the illusion of entrails, and her babies will actually emerge from this fluffy horror. But don't worry, it gets worse. Once she mutates by diving into a pool of chemicals, her stuffing is completely replaced with a cluster of Trigger Teddies, her arms become elongated and bulbous to the point that they resemble the segments of a centipede, and one of her hands has been replaced with an organic toothy maw with ears. | |

Affably Evil | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: While most of the monsters you will meet are Ax-Crazy and Evilly Affable, some of them are actually genuinely nice when under the right circumstances. The Reaper Nurses are this, but it only applies to women. According to E's secret note, they genuinely welcomed her into their hospital and had no intention of harming her, even after she refused their offer to make her a Reaper Nurse. E was free to stay and explore the hospital as much as she wanted as long as she didn’t disrupt their activities or enter the restricted areas. Sure enough, they only became hostile toward E when she entered a restricted area. The Joy Joy Gang obviously qualify, as they all believe Happiness Is Mandatory. However, don't let this fool you as they will squee in excitement at the first opportunity of making you suffer. While Mama Bear is an amalgam of the souls of various abusive mothers, she always talks in a calm, motherly tone and it has been shown that she is quite endearing to her babies, Malak, and even Doug in her own twisted and creepy way. Justifed as each soul that comprises Mama Bear's current personality is very likely different in personality and viewpoint. | |

The Underworld: This exists as a zone in "Bearly Buried". It turns out that the very depths of Mama Bear's realm consist of thousands of souls from the people she killed. The only way around is through a maze that looks like its floating in the sky. | |

Some secret documents in "Bearly Buried" indicate that Doug's mother was also this to her son, as she admits she sees the young Doug as nothing but a burden and reminder of her horrible husband, while admitting she took delight in hearing him "beg" when she locked him up in the dark on one occasion. Doug's wife also notes that Doug does not want to visit her again when the question is brought up. | |

False Reassurance | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_5a963d1c | comment |
And somehow despite us never seeing her true face, Mama Bear is even worse than her babies when it comes to monstrous body features. For starters, she has a large unstitched tear in her stomach which is filled with pink stuffing that gives the illusion of entrails, and her babies will actually emerge from this fluffy horror. But don't worry, it gets worse. Once she mutates by diving into a pool of chemicals, her stuffing is completely replaced with a cluster of Trigger Teddies, her arms become elongated and bulbous to the point that they resemble the segments of a centipede, and one of her hands has been replaced with an organic toothy maw with ears. | |

Room Full of Crazy | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_6941e30b | comment |
Room Full of Crazy: Used on several levels. "Elementary Evil" has a secret room featuring the phrases "They trusted you" and "No Forgiveness". "Deadly Decadence" has a secret room with numerous phrases, including "THEY HELD YOU BACK", "YOU DESERVE BETTER", and "DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING". The fun house in "Crazy Carnevil" is full of these, with messages like "Who's Laughing Now?" and "Times Up!" In "Torment Therapy", the Therapy Unit is filled with graffiti that seems to be written by the Reapers to vent their rage. This varies from simple taunts like "LIAR, LIAR", to vulgar threats like "MEN ARE PIGS". In "Mascot Mayhem", some of the walls in the outside section of Joy Joy Land have the word "JOY" written over and over again. | |

Nope, it is actually most of the time underground in a vast cave system. There is a reason why it is called, "Bearly Buried". | |

Let’s just see here, on one hand you have a demon that collects people's souls and is trying to kill the protagonist, Ax-Crazy monsters, more affable but just as bad monsters, and on the other hand you have the main protagonist who thinks he deserves to go to hell for what he’s done to his family according to his admission, and A Lighter Shade of Black who is implied to be using the protagonist for her own motives and murdered a child in the past. | |

Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_9a3285c | comment |
Invisibility: The Reaper Nurses have the unique ability to turn themselves completely invisible. They will use this trick to sneak up on the player and catch them off guard. Likewise, after beating them, the player is granted their final power, vanish. This power will allow the player to completely cloak themselves and make them unnoticeable to most enemies. You will know if the power is activated by a purple aura that fades around the screen. | |

Eldritch Location | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_9bee1a7f | comment |
Eldritch Location: The game so far has two types of this trope: Bierce's Ballroom, which is the main room, is pretty much a piece of ballroom floating in the middle of nowhere, surrounded on two sides by nightmare portals. The top of the stairway also leads to Malak, who is in door form and guards an as of yet unknown location. The nightmares are pocket dimensions vaguely reminiscent of real-world locations and filled with dead spirits. These locations range from as simple as buildings with repetitive rooms to a network of smaller dimensions connected to one another. As it turns out, both of the aforementioned locations are found in some sort of "dark dimension." Not much is really known about it, but according to Malak it's a place where all evil souls gather, slowly fighting one another to become the "ultimate evil." | |

Foreshadowing: Lucky claims that he never loses. Joy Kill also claims that it isn't over after his apparent defeat. Unfortunately, that's exactly how it goes, as Lucky and his gang manage to incapacitate Doug and leave him at Malak's mercy. In the hospital, a poster depicting the stages of lung cancer is on display in the examination area. Later on, when Malak invades Doug's thoughts, it is revealed he is dying of cancer, possibly lung cancer as he's seen hooked up to a respirator. | |

Purple Is Powerful: Besides red, one of the most recurring colors in Dark Deception is purple. The soul shards just so happen to be purple in color themselves and are the remains of the fallen souls who have perished in the Nightmares. The same also goes for the ring pieces, which can grant those who wield their immense power. | |

This Way to Certain Death: After collecting all the soul shards, the player then proceeds to head to the final passageway that has a giant hole in the center. Once at the bottom, we soon quickly discover that the floor and walls are littered with the bones of Mama Bear's victims. If this doesn't look like a bad sign, then Malak will definitely paint it as one. | |

Orcus on His Throne | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_add14bc2 | comment |
Orcus on His Throne: Downplayed. Malak makes his first appearance in "Elementary Evil". From then onward, he only shows up after you have stolen the ring piece from that level. Somewhat justified; at the start of "Bearly Buried", he reveals that there is a war going on to become "the ultimate evil", and by the sounds of it, Malak is a contender for that title. With a war to deal with, he simply doesn't have time to drop everything every time some wayward soul winds up in one of his realms. Further justification: the soul shards. The shards are the remains of souls that met their ends in that respective realm. Considering that each realm contains 100+ shards, it's safe to assume that the mooks have been taking care of intruders just fine up until now. | |

Abusive Parents | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Doug wasn't a very loving father to his daughter Tammy, calling her "a defective child" for being autistic and inheriting her mother's bipolar disorder. Some secret documents in "Bearly Buried" indicate that Doug's mother was also this to her son, as she admits she sees the young Doug as nothing but a burden and reminder of her horrible husband, while admitting she took delight in hearing him "beg" when she locked him up in the dark on one occasion. Doug's wife also notes that Doug does not want to visit her again when the question is brought up. Mama Bear is one to her Trigger Teddies, which makes sense considering she is an amalgamation of the souls of abusive mothers. While she does care for them to some extent, a lot of the time, she orders them around instead. More often than not, she will outright have them do her dirty work, despite knowing full well that they will die doing so. She's quite willing to just replace said babies once that happens. It's also implied in her Makeship description that she only loves them because they're incapable of either rebelling or failing her, viewing children who do either as disappointments. | |

I Shall Taunt You: Many of the monsters love to do this to you. While being chased by Agatha, you can actually hide from her inside the bathrooms. While she won't be able to get inside, she will then out of nowhere whisper in your ear, "Do you feel safe in there?" Give it enough time, and she will eventually teleport to you and trap you inside the stall. The Dread Duckies take great pleasure in taunting their victims, especially when they are at their mercy. And in one of their kill animations, they even mock Doug by dancing and chuckling at him before curb stomping on his face. The Reaper Nurses will constantly mock and insult Doug while they are trying to kill him. | |

While being chased by Agatha, you can actually hide from her inside the bathrooms. While she won't be able to get inside, she will then out of nowhere whisper in your ear, "Do you feel safe in there?" Give it enough time, and she will eventually teleport to you and trap you inside the stall. | |

Cutscene Incompetence | |

Cutscene Incompetence: A bizarre case considering it comes shortly after a case of Cutscene Power to the Max: At the end of "Mascot Mayhem", Joy Kill suddenly drops between Doug and the exit portal. However, unlike when Doug got cornered at the end of "Torment Therapy", Doug makes no attempt to use his abilities to get past the monster, and ends up getting subdued. | |

Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_c6c5ce4 | comment |
Bedlam House: While the hospital of "Torment Therapy" is quite clean and nice looking at first, it later shows that deep within it lies a gruesome underbelly. The intensive therapy unit is by every means an asylum. But not the one where patients recover from a psychological disorder, oh no, this place is a torture facility. A place where suffering is the only form of medicine with mercy never truly being an option. The place is filled with all types of traps that will give you a painful demise. | |

Shout-Out | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: As Dark Deception is meant to be a celebration of the horror genre, all sorts of shout-outs to other horror media (among other things) can be seen in the levels: Some of the paintings seen in "Monkey Business" are clearly nods to famous paintings, such as Three Wise Monkeys. There's a secret location in "Elementary Evil" that reveals Agatha's hiding place, a dirty well. The achievement for finding it even shows her coming out of it. The whole theme of the Gold Watchers being statues that only move if you don't look at them is a clear nod to the Weeping Angels (although Word of God confirmed that they're also based on the mechanics of Boo the Ghost. One of the Dread Duckies' jumpscares is launching its second head at Doug, not much different from another creature with a nested mouth. One of the secrets seen in "Stranger Sewers" has graffiti depicting a red balloon saying, "Float On." No points for guessing this one. One of Bierce's death quotes adds to this as well: In Zone 2 of "Crazy Carnevil", at least one of the wall graffiti bears a resemblance to the clowns from Killer Klowns from Outer Space. The Therapy Center (a.k.a Zone 2 of "Torment Therapy") is a dirty prison walled up with bricks and has messages scribbled all over the walls. This brings to mind certain parts of the asylum from Outlast. Assuming that the Joy Joy Gang's frenzy forms didn't make it obvious, one of the achievements for defeating their respective boss, Joy Kill, is called, "Terminated." Lucky the Rabbit's last line in "Mascot Mayhem" is, "Goodnight, sweet prince," after Malak orders the Joy Joy Gang to send Doug to the portal, a small nod to Shakespeare's Hamlet. The large runes seen in Zone 3 of "Bearly Buried" resemble the markers from Dead Space. The masses of faces making up the walls looks oddly familiar to the walls of faces that appear during the Eclipse in Berserk. That or Giygas from Mother. | |

Nightmare Face | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_cf48c17 | comment |
Nightmare Face: Putting aside their already nightmarish faces, most of the enemies' frenzy forms tend to have these in the form of Red and Black and Evil All Over. In addition, several enemies are able to naturally make them: Both the Gold Watchers and the Titan Watchers have the ability to twist their faces into gaping, cracked, angry faces, the former doing so when they catch you. The Joy Joy Gang's frenzy forms basically expose some of the endoskeletons underneath them, making them look like animal versions of the Terminator. The Trigger Teddies have withered doll heads underneath their normal bear heads, making them look like undead babies. | |

Schmuck Bait: In "Crazy Carnevil", a clown car leads Doug to a strength tester in a circus tent. It's obviously some sort of trap, but Doug hits it anyways out of Bierce's "request"... only to get trapped in a cage and is forced to escape it alongside several Clown Gremlins that ambush him. Certain Trigger Teddies in the cabin will stand idle rather than chase Doug, instead making hug gestures while saying "Mama". Cue explosion upon touch. | |

However, her idea of acupuncture isn't just a few needles in the skin, but rather a Death Trap in which the ceiling is covered in several large needles that begin to slowly get lower and lower to the ground. Needless to say, this is a very fatal procedure. | |

Crossover | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: Monsters & Mortals has received several DLC chapters based on other IPs, bringing at least one playable mortal and monster and a new level to the game. The Monstrum chapter brought the Brute and Fiend from the first game as playable monsters and a level based off the cargo ship from the first game. The chapter's only playable survivor, Prisoner Borisov, is a character unique to the DLC and not the game it is based off. The Silent Hill chapter has Heather Mason and Cybil Bennet as playable mortals while having the Nurse and Robbie the Rabbit as playable monsters. The level accompanying the chapter is based off the area of Silent Hill seen in the first game. The Yandere Simulator chapter has Senpai, Info Chan and Hanako appear as mortals while Ayano appears as the sole monster of the DLC. The level is the school from the game. Because of the allegations against YandereDev, the DLC isn't available to purchase anymore, though people who bought the DLC before can still access its content. "Poppy Playtime Panic" brings in Kissy Missy as a mortal. It's set inside the Playtime Co. toy factory, where Huggy Wuggy can spawn as the boss. | |

Big Damn Heroes: In "Elementary Evil", Bierce unlocks the gym doors when Agatha traps Doug within them, allowing him to escape at the last moment, much to Agatha's chagrin. In "Bearly Buried", Tammy appears out of nowhere in soul form to rescue Doug from Mama Bear's clutches, doing so by electrocuting the Trigger Teddies escorting him. She saves him two more times after that, one from Malak's marking using the ring pieces, and at the very end from Mama Bear by opening the portal. | |

Early-Bird Cameo | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_f0089082 | comment |
Early-Bird Cameo: This happens quite a bit, usually with some of the enemies: Malak could potentially count since we do see him in door form in the ballroom, albeit inactively. Other than that, his humanoid form makes a cameo twice in two levels before it becomes prominent. In "Monkey Business", we see a cardboard cutout of a Murder Monkey with chef clothing in the kitchen. The Chef Monkeys would appear in that location later on. In "Deadly Decadence", a larger stone version of the Gold Watchers appears inactive at the beginning. At the end, said watcher reappears behind the portal as a Titan Watcher. In "Stranger Sewers", the Doom Ducky appears several times prior to their boss fight, such as attacking the player in a hole at the start, roaring before you enter zone 2, and staring at the player through sewer grates. In "Crazy Carnevil", all four of the Goliath Clowns appear in a cloudy red room, laughing at us while we ride the roller coaster. All four of the end chapter screens show an enemy related to the preceding chapter. This includes Agatha (Chapter 2), the Dread Duckies (Chapter 3), the Matron (Chapter 4), and the Mannequins (Chapter 5). | |

Video-Game Lives: You start out with 3 lives to collect every shard, and you can unlock more starting lives and restore lost lives by doing well in the mazes. | |

Killing Intent | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_fbfba1bb | comment |
Killing Intent: Primal Fear is a special power that can create a red shockwave that can stun all enemies in the direct vicinity, making it ideal to deal with large groups of them. It can also destroy certain enemies instantly such as the Clown Gremlins and Trigger Teddies. | |

Was Once a Man | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_fdad625e | comment |
Was Once a Man: Nearly every monster (that we know of) were once humans who, after their death, had their souls twisted into new forms based on the sins they committed while they were alive. For example, the Dread Duckies were deceitful, the Gold Watchers were greedy, and the Murder Monkeys were murderers. | |

Cutscene Power to the Max | |
Dark Deception (Video Game) / int_fe262584 | comment |
Cutscene Power to the Max: Downplayed, but pops up with the cutscene at the end of "Torment Therapy". Doug's usage of "Teleport" and "Primal Fear" is consistent with their normal uses, but attempting to use "Speed Boost" to push a Nurse across the hallway would not end well in normal gameplay, and that's assuming it was actually "Speed Boost" and not Doug pulling a new ability out of nowhere. | |

Yellow Lightning, Blue Lightning: The Defibrillator Paddles which will only activate if the player gets too close to them will release a discharge of red electricity in an attempt to fry the player. | |

Dark and Troubled Past: Secret rooms within the nightmares indicate, and the game later confirms, that the protagonist has one, and it involves letting his family perish. | |

Pet the Dog: Implied. Malak seems to genuinely care about Agatha, who he seems to have adopted. | |
