Social Horror Game “Deceit” Kicks Of Spooktacular Halloween Event

The devious and macabre world of Deceit is now even creepier with today’s free Halloween update. First released in early 2017 and downloaded by over 13 million players, Deceit continues to receive a steady flow of content updates and improvements from developer World Makers, including the recent introduction of an entirely new progression system.

Inspired by the party game Werewolf and a variety of classic horror films, the CRYENGINE-powered Deceit drops up to six players into a mysterious contest for survival wherein a third of the party is secretly infected. Using in-game voice chat, items and clues, the innocents must work together to escape alive while the infected work to sabotage the team, either by force or by seeding doubt and paranoia to turn players against each other. When the lights go out, the infected can transform into vicious terrors and hunt the survivors down.

The Halloween event runs from October 14 to November 8 and includes:

  • 32 new cosmetics, including the Legendary Vampire Lord terror skin, Witch Lisa outfit, and other Halloween-themed items including accessories, weapons, poses, and more.
  • Halloween 2020 cosmetics added to the Vault, allowing players another chance to get event-limited cosmetics such as the Legendary Medusa Nina and Zombie Bride Lisa outfits.
  • 25 Halloween-specific Challenges added to the Labyrinth.
  • Halloween Tokens are temporarily replacing Normal Tokens in purchasable packs. Tokens can be redeemed at the Booth for random cosmetic rewards.
  • Candy Collection: Collect candy around each map during a match. Collecting enough will award Halloween cosmetics or tokens
  •  The Halloween Mega Bundle contains the following content:

    • Event-exclusive Beelzebub Experiment terror skin
    • 10x Halloween Tokens
    • 1x of each Halloween Item Upgrade
      • Pumpkin Head (Tracker)
      • Sugar Rush (Antidote)
      • Ghostly (Armour)
      • Explosive (Lethal Injection)
      • Jack-in-the-box (Trap)
