When i tried a virtual reality headset for the very first time back in the mid 90s. I just knew that VR would become a big thing in the world of Gaming. But there was one particular genre that i had in mind.

And that was the horror genre. Because a horror game would be even more scary if it felt like you were in the actual game.

And now that we got Oculus Rift, OSVR, Project Morpheus and Gear VR knocking on our door.

There´s plenty of opportunities for devs to make awesome virtual reality horror games.

Such as Glowstick Games “Dark Deception” (for PC, PS4, PSV and Wii U) for example (a game which Youtube stars such as Pewdiepie has played).

Sadly enough though, Dark Deception struggles a lot to reach it´s Kickstarter goal of $15,000 (only $1,800 has been collected so far).

However, there´s still 19 days left on the Kickstarter campaign for Dark Deception. So it´s not game over just yet, and the game got Greenlit on Steam Greenlight just recently as well.

That´s also why you should support Dark Deception if you like the Kickstarter video, and believe in the game.

BEFORE the time run´s out.

About Dark Deception:
Ever dreamed of playing a horror version of Pac-Man? A game where instead of fleeing from cartoon ghosts in neon mazes, you are chased by horrifying monsters through realistic looking environments? So have we and that is exactly what we set out to create!

The big difference being that we wanted to create a game that has a story arc, RPG elements, different enemies, and a larger world that contains various different horror environments.

Features:
– Engaging & suspenseful story arc.
– Different enemies with different attack/movement patterns in each level.
– Huge procedural levels
– Fun gameplay mechanics.
– RPG elements
– Compatible with Oculus Rift (not needed to play the game though).
– Extras (art gallery from super talented concept artists around the industry, story archives, and more!).
– Amazing soundtrack by Jake Kaufman
– USB controller support for PC users
