Hey everyone!
The past few days Vince and I have been working on fixing the most important bugs still left from the launch of Chapter 3.
Thank you all for the feedback and bug hunting!
Here are the most important fixes/changes:
Teleport Exploits
There has been many people using the teleport power to try and get out of bounds in both the Sewer and Circus. I have tried fixing the most important and game-breaking teleport exploits, but because of the unpredictable nature of DD players as well as the teleport ability, you never know!
Crazy Carnevil Zone 2 Fixes, Changes and Improvements
The Zone 2 skip bug was pretty hard to track, but I believe I found the main cause of it, it should be fixed!
Zone 2 received some visual improvements.
Zone 2 now has a new rollercoaster hazard!
Other Changes/Improvements
Difficulty for Deadly Decadence has been drastically decreased on Easy Mode.
The Nurse in the preview screen doesn't quack anymore!
The Title Screen has a new music track.
General bug fixes.
As always, we really appreciate the feedback you give us. Let us know if any of these issues still persist down in the reactions below!
The wait is finally over! Chapter 3 will be out on June 24th at 8PM PST (midnight EST). Get ready to run for your life from dread duckies & clown gremlins! As usual, we will continue to improve the chapter even after release based on feedback we receive from our community. In
The wait is finally over! Chapter 3 will be out on June 24th at 8PM PST (midnight EST). Get ready to run for your life from dread duckies & clown gremlins! As usual, we will continue to improve the chapter even after release based on feedback we receive from our community. In addition, we will also be expanding our available languages after launch - adding simplified & traditional Chinese. Japanese & Korean are next after that. Once again, thanks for supporting our spoopy little horror game and I hope you enjoy the new chapter!
Chapter 3 is nearing completion and I plan to announce a release date over the next 2 weeks as well as launch the coming soon page for Chapter 3. It won't be much longer now! We also have some other DD related big news that we may or may not announce with the Chapter 3 release da

Hey everybody,
There's been many reports of the game crashing on startup after the 1.4 update.
We've tracked down the issue to the launcher that starts up before the game, it has now been removed.
I'd appreciate to hear if this issue has been resolved (for the people who had the game crash)
Other than that, update also has a few minor bug-fixes.

Hey everyone,
We've been hard at work on Dark Deception the past few days.
This is a pretty big update, full of bug fixes and quality of life changes and features!
The additions:
Tablet Map Zoom
You can now zoom out the map by pressing M to make finding shards or escape points easier.
Launcher
We have brought back the launcher from Chapter 1, here you can change your keybinds and stuff like resolution as well as which screen you want to run the game on (for you multiple monitor guys).
Ring Altar Overhaul
We have made two big changes to the Ring Altar:
Details on every power upgrade are now way clearer and easier to read
We added a resume button, you can now get all your skill points back to reallocate them to other powers whenever you want. Play around and find the combination you like the most!
Visual Feedback for Powers
When you use your powers you will now be able to tell how long they will last as well as when you will be able to use them again.
Death Tips
Every level will now include useful death tips to hopefully make you die less!
Bug fixes/adjustments:
Due to many complaints about Agatha being too easy, school has now received a big buff, can you still beat it? ;)
The Clear Screen in the School now properly recognizes whether you've collected both Special Shards.
Your maximum Streak will now be saved when you transition through both zones in the Manor.
Time spent in the first Zone of the Manor will carry over to Zone 2, no more easy S rank there now :)
Replay Mode will now successfully launch Manor when selected.
Teleport collision issues in the Ballroom are now fixed.
The cursor in the Ring Altar won't disappear anymore after you pause.
Hey everyone! We've been working very hard to find and fix as many bugs as we can. Fixes Opening the ring altar after beating the Hotel erases save file. Secrets not unlocking in the Extras Menu. Watchers moving while being in camera view. Replay mode not unlocking properly. Othe

We've been working very hard to find and fix as many bugs as we can.
Fixes
Opening the ring altar after beating the Hotel erases save file.
Secrets not unlocking in the Extras Menu.
Watchers moving while being in camera view.
Replay mode not unlocking properly.
Other minor fixes.
Some of the bugs that are harder to catch are the ones we can't reproduce ourselves, so we're very thankful to all of you who report them and let us know by showing footage. Keep em coming! :)
Thank you all for the support and apologies for the inconveniences caused.

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to address the black screen issue after school, as well as the resume button disappearing after beating school and hotel not showing up in the replayable levels list.
I pushed a patch that tries to fix all of these.
Apologies once again for the inconvenience, and thank you for your support!
EDIT:
Patch 1.3.3 is now out, this should fully fix the black screen after school. I tested it with the Steam build myself.

Hey everyone,
We would like to apologize for any inconveniences caused by the bugs that came with the new Chapter 2 release.
Save Corruption
I have tracked down the save corruption bug, it was present in the Hotel level and is now patched. I advise everyone to start a new game to make sure that your save won't get corrupted.
School End Cutscene
A bug was also present at the end of the school level where a cutscene didn't play right, this has also been fixed now.
Level Up Bug
The player received incorrect amounts of XP after clearing the school level, this has now been fixed.
Ring Altar
The ring altar sometimes would not close correctly. This bug should also be fixed, however, if it still persists I'd really appreciate it if you could notify us in the replies below, this also applies to any other bugs you find.
We want to deliver a polished and bug-free experience, so we're trying to track down as many bugs and issues as we can. Your help is very much appreciated!
Thank you for supporting Dark Deception!

Hey Everyone! Dark Deception Chapter 2 is only a few days away. The Chapter 2 release was delayed from Jan 4th to make some fixes. We have not announced an official launch date yet, but barring a last minute catastrophe, it should be on Steam by the 21st or sooner. In the meantime, to help tide you over Devlog #4 is now up on Youtube! Enjoy and thanks for your patience as we prepare to launch Chapter 2!
*UPDATE* - Confirmed with Steamworks that release on the 18th may not be possible. If that is the case, the 21st is the next available date for launch.

Hey everyone, we've released an update for Chapter 1 that adds Achievements and a custom mouse cursor.
If you already got S rank for Hotel before this update, the achievement should unlock as soon as you get to the title screen.
Please let us know if the achievements unlock correctly, we've briefly tested them, but it's my first time implementing achievements for Steam :)

Hello everyone! Many have asked about Chapter 2's release date and I've delayed on a response until I had a more accurate answer. However, I can now say that Dark Deception Chapter 2 will release on January 4th, 2019. About 3 months for each Chapter will likely be the normal amount of required development time. If we finish earlier, we might release a bit sooner than that date. However, first week of January works out better for us since December is not a great month to release in for indie devs. There are a lot of big title releases from AAA studios like EA. Also, a lot of people are on vacation and busy enjoying the Holidays with their families. We are also attempting to line up the Chapter 2 release date with the launch of Dark Deception merch in stores like Hot Topic. So forgive the 3 weeks delay. I promise that Nikson and I will make it worth the wait!

There's a a lot of excitement building up for Chapter 2, which is great :). Nikson and I are hard at work on wrapping it up and making improvements based on feedback from Chapter 1.
That said, we are targeting a late November/early December release for Chapter 2 and it will retail for $6.25 USD. You will also have the option to buy the full game in advance at the discounted price of $19.99. If you buy the chapters individually, you can still get them at that price if they are on sale, but the normal price will be $24.99. I will update with a more solid release date as we get closer to that time window. Either way, it won't be much longer and the success of Chapter 2 will be crucial to getting the rest of the game out quickly. Thanks for your support so far and keep sharing the game with others that enjoy all forms of horror gaming!
