4. Can you trust your friends in Deceit?
Genre: Survival Horror | Developer: Baseline | Platform: PC | Release Date: March 3, 2017 | Model: Free2Play | Steam Rating: 88% | Steam Hub: Deceit on Steam
This is Deceit: Deceit is an asymmetrical survival horror game that combines the gameplay mechanics of Dead by Daylight and the “Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT)” game mode of Garry’s Mod.
With up to 6 players, you are trapped in an unknown, creepy place and must try to escape. A third of your group has become infected. So with 6 players, 2 are hostile, but no one knows who they are.
As a normal player, you explore the map, collect weapons and items, and find clues. These clues provide you information about the players so that you can figure out during the game who belongs to the infected and whom you can trust.
As an infected player, it is your task to manipulate the clues and drink blood packs. Once your blood bar is full and the lights go out, you can transform into a hideous creature and hunt the other players.
This is what Deceit offers:
- Exciting cooperative gameplay
- Nerve-wracking and eerie atmosphere
- You do not know who is friend or foe
- Every round is different
This is what players say: The community highlights the interactions with players. The gameplay principle of deceiving your friends is the most fun for most, and Deceit offers a good challenge. Especially with friends, the game is very beginner-friendly.
However, without friends, it becomes difficult. Random players can be found quickly, but most are non-native speakers, making communication vital challenging. Most encounters are also said to be toxic, and solo players are not recommended.
Who is Deceit for?
If you are looking for excitement in horror and want to deceive your friends, then Deceit is for you. Fans of Trouble in Terrorist Town or Dead by Daylight will also enjoy this survival horror experience.
If you do not like horror or the idea of betraying your friends seems awful, you will not be happy with Deceit. Solo players will also not find this enjoyable.
