Portals are mechanics featured in Dark Deception. They come in different variations, serving their own unique purposes in-game.

Variants[]

Level portal[]

Empty Portal Vortex

The Level portals are ten circular, levitating entrances situated in rows throughout Bierce's Ballroom. Each one serves as a nexus to its respective nightmare, and are unlocked consecutively by beating the previous nightmare.

Each portal leads to a hallway, which in turn leads to the doorway to the respective level. From Chapter 2 on, these hallways will be filled with obstacles, which require a power from the ring altar to bypass.

The portals also serve as the entrance to each nightmare, and appear in their inactive state until the ring piece is retrieved.

Level Portals are decorated with indiscernible runes spinning both clockwise and counterclockwise. Active portals glow red and display a visage of its enemy in its center, while inactive portals are shaded gray and display a locked symbol in its center.

Green portal[]

Green Portal

The green portals first appeared in "Crazy Carnevil", present in both zones. They allow the player to teleport between floors. In each zone, these are necessary to collect all the shards, as each floor contains shards.

In zone 1, the shards are equally distributed among each floor, and the player must search each one to collect them all. If in pursuit, the portals can serve as escape routes, as suggested by a death hint. the portals are spread among each floor, and one is required to exit the area after completing it.

In zone 2, portals only appear in specific rooms, which are striped with various colors and have an overhead rainbow bridge. There are various alcoves within these rooms, some of which contain portals. Upon entering them, the player will end up above the hallways, on top of the bridge. These bridges each contain shards, making them essential to explore.

If the player is spotted entering a portal, the Clown Gremlins will follow the player below-ground, forcing them to lure the gremlins away from the portal to escape. The player may also drop down onto the ground through a hole on one end of the bridge.
