31 May, 2015 -BoomstickKingHey everyone! Want to take a moment to apologize for the lengthy delay in updates:/! I know it sucks when developers go silent. It's been crazy busy for us the past few months.
Advertisement (Log in to hide). Dark Deception 2018. Full-game Leaderboard Level Leaderboard. View all Monkey Business Elementary Evil Deadly Decadance Stranger Sewers Crazy Carnevil. Dark Deception debunks the widespread myth that sunlight is harmful to your health and demonstrates how sunlight exposure can improve your quality of life. For decades sunbathing has been considered evidence of poor health judgment, an activity comparable to smoking cigarettes. This depiction is a gross distortion of the truth.
We've basically been running around to game shows overseas (like the Taipei Game Show), bombing horribly on Kickstarter (twice! Wahoo), and working on the game non-stop. Happy to say that it's all been worthwhile though, because we've secured a partner and I think they are a good fit for Dark Deception and will allow us to add some really cool things!
We can't announce who the partner is yet, but I'm sure that will come out before E3. We will be showing a new build of the game at E3. I'm dying to share some images and new levels with you all, but that will come soon enough! Jake Kaufman has been a machine on music and I'm now convinced that we might have wound up with what could be his most unique soundtrack to date:D. Either way, thanks to everyone who has been following us and showing their support so far!

Much more to come post-E3. We love horror games and we love Pac Man! So we decided that we'd like to see a horror version of Pac Man - for Oculus Rift! The only difference being that it has an actual story arc and world to explore. This is how the game works - there is a hub world that the player starts in. They can access portals that take them to mazes where they need to collect soul shard and a puzzle piece. Soul shards are the currency of the game and unlock new abilities and future levels.
The puzzle pieces are story items and the player needs to collect the piece from each level to create the Heaven's Riddle (puzzle ring) that will allow him to escape the hell he is trapped in. The player got there in the first place by making deal with a demon named Helen Bierce.This is an arcade game, so the pace is fast and intense. It is not a slow tension build horror game like Slender Man. The style is more Haunting Ground/Castlevania/CarnEvil than anything else.Carolyn Seymour (Myrrah from Gears of War and Dr.
Chakwas from Mass Effect) lends her awesome voice to the game. The story is written by Mike Lee, the writer for Ghost Recon, HAWX, End War Online, Warhammer's Malus Darkblade Chronicles, and Hunter: Avengers.You play as a cop on the run, fleeing from deeds you thought long buried. In desperation, you turn to the urban legend of Helen Bierce, a famous actress who vanished in 1930. Dark and disturbing rumors surrounded her disappearance at the time.
Out of options and backed into a corner, your only chance is to dive headfirst into evil and hope to survive.The gameplay for Dark Deception is pretty simple: collect all the soul shards (the purple triangles) before the monsters kill you.
