You wake up in an asylum to the sound of an unfamiliar voice, surrounded by five others. A third of your group have been infected with a virus, but who will escape?

Deceit tests your instincts at trust and deception in this new FPS. The brain-child of game studio Automaton, the multiplayer horror is the first game ever to be created with the new Crytek CryEngine 5. This Halloween, take to Steam and enjoy limited edition features that are even more chilling. But hurry – they’ll be gone by November 6^th.

The environment in Decit has been specifically setup to cause conflict amongst the group, creating doubt about the true intentions of players. The infected will be trying to cover up their group sabotage attempts, whilst the rest will be keeping an eye out for this suspicious behavior and attempt to join forces with people they think they can trust.

As you progress through the map you’ll come across objectives that will help you survive and progress towards the exit. However, you will need to decide which is most important to you, and whether to collaborate or fight with other players over them. With each decision gives players more information and an indication to what team you’re likely to be on. However, the perception of each action won’t necessarily be seen as a fair representation to others about your intentions as the truth can be easily skewed.

There are blackout periods across the map which allow for the infected to transform into what’s known as their terror form. In this form they are much faster, stronger, and have night vision, with only one weakness: light. In this form the infected are truly terrifying, and with an array of intense killing animations players will be able to create some scary but also funny moments.

Engage in frenzied fast paced combat, test your behavioral psychology to determine who is infected and deploy strategic map positioning, as darkness allows the infected to manifest into their terror form. Stronger, faster and with night vision, their only weakness is light. Do you have what it takes to make it out alive, or will you be a victim of deception?
