About[]

Trivia[]
- Super Dark Deception was created after Vince Livings saw 2Deception, a Dark Deception fanmade demake. Vince had extremely close interest in the fangame as he is a big fan of SNES-styled games, and even expressed his wish to publish it. However after some time of no news and playable demos of 2Deception, Vince decided to move on and make his own demake of Dark Deception from scratch.
- Unlike the original game, Super Dark Deception has only three chapters, adding more levels to each one.
- Although Super Dark Deception is an exact 2D demake of the original game, it does have a few differences from Dark Deception.
- In this game, the main menu is a mini-location where the player can move left and right, and the buttons and tabs are designed as Portals.
- In this game, the extras menu is presented as a full-fledged Archive Room with many separate features, while in the original game it is just a regular standard menu with buttons.
- This room can be customized by purchasing various decorations from the vending machine using soul shards and placing them on the stands in the middle of the room. You can also buy FX particles that will fly around the room.
- Completing levels and S-ranking them unlocks characters from those levels (their normal/nightmare forms), and you can play as them.
- Elise's notes, which in the original game are just pieces of paper that can be read, in this game are implemented as full-fledged visual flashbacks/cutscenes, which adds more immersion to the story.
- New Achievements. While Dark Deception has a system of 5 achievements per level, Super Dark Deception has a set number of achievements (currently 16) per chapter.
- Minor differences in gameplay.
- The map is built a little differently in some places (removal of some turns, etc.)
- Some levels have a different total amount of shards ("Elementary Evil" - 291 instead of 283, "Deadly Decadence" - 353 instead of 354).
- In the 2nd zone of "Deadly Decadence", shards are present in two secret areas, making collecting the secrets a mandatory part of the level. It's unknown if this was done intentionally or if the programmers simply made a mistake.
- Some characters have new voicelines that are not present in the original game (namely a few new lines for Bierce in "Deadly Decadence", in the hallway before "Stranger Sewers" and in "Stranger Sewers" itself, and a couple new laugh sounds for Agatha and Gold Watchers).
- The sewer water in "Stranger Sewers" works differently, slowing down Doug's movement speed instead of his acceleration.
