Super Dark Deception

About

Super Dark Deception is a throwback action game with horror themes and pixelated visuals. You navigate levels filled with traps and enemies using a mix of platforming and puzzle solving. Combat is fast and frenetic with a variety of weapons and power-ups. The story is light but serves as a gateway to a larger series. Each level ends with a boss fight that requires memorizing patterns and timing attacks. The game ships with the first four levels but includes all future paid expansions at no extra cost. This upfront value has sparked discussion among players with some calling it a smart move by the developers. Available on nearly every major platform including mobile devices it reaches a wide audience. Glowstick Entertainment released it in late 2022 and the approach has drawn comparisons to classic bite-sized arcade titles with modern convenience.
