If you’re a fan of the “Murder” mod on Garry’s Mod, you’ll (without doubt) love Deceit.
For those who are unfamiliar with both, Deceit is an online multiplayer game that pitches a group of survivors together to work out a way of escaping the first map installment- an abandoned insane asylum. The game has a simple objective, however one third of the group is infected with a virus that turns them into monsters in the darkness. The monsters’ job is simple; stop those who are not infected from leaving the building.
Thanks to the map randomisation, the environment helps to “cause conflict amongst the group” which in-turn brings each of the players against each other. The game brings in real tests of trust to the players which leaves them unable to trust each other.
Due to its success, the game has already been Greenlit on Steam and will enter early access within two months time.
