Enemies can be stunned and avoided, but not killed. Fast-paced Arcade Horror: No hiding in lockers here.The question is - what are you afraid of? There are monsters in there and they are looking for you. This is the first chapter in the Dark Deception story. Trapped in a dark world full of nightmarish mazes and ridiculous monsters, the only way out is to face the darkness and find a way to survive. It’s recommended to play the sequel in tandem to get the best experience.Dark Deception is a story driven first-person horror action maze game that mixes the fast-paced style of classic arcade games with fun horror game design. While the short length and lack of other gameplay mechanics make it boring, the pacing and atmosphere of the blurry pixel art graphics still make for amazing storytelling-especially for the found footage subgenre of horror. Far too shortĪll in all, Harmful is a nice little PSX-style horror game but it’s mostly meant to introduce you to its next installment. It would’ve been nice to package the two together as just one game instead. The bulk of the story and gameplay of this series is found in the sequel. It’s mostly just an interactive fiction game with you as an audience and not the person who can change events-which fits the premise since you’re just watching the weird tape you found. However, that’s all this game has to offer. While the scenes are short and set in different hours of the dreary day, their chronological order is easy enough the follow. There are no prompts to interact with objects in order to progress as the game automatically proceeds to the next scene as soon as you reach the intended location. Gameplay-wise, the controls are pretty simple as you’ll just be walking around. The scenes keep jumping around whenever the tape plays the next recording and there’s no context at all-leaving you to freely explore as much as the game allows you to. The game starts immediately with you watching it unfold and then it transitions into you being able to control whoever is recording the scene. The story of Harmful revolves around a mysterious VHS tape found abandoned deep in the woods.
