About Dark Deception
Dark Deception is a first-person horror maze game where every shard increases the pressure. You must read the route, control your panic, and reach the portal before a monster catches you.
How to Play

- Use corners and open space to create distance before committing to a route.
- Reach the portal after collecting the required shards to finish the stage.
Tips

- Save your escape ability for a chase rather than using it on a small detour.
- Listen for danger because audio cues can warn you before the monster appears.
