About the Game

Deceived Of Joy

When playing our game you undertake a very normal life living in a Hotel, you do tasks, listen to the radio and prepare for work. Slowly over time you might notice a few changes, cracks in the walls, sounds you've never heard before and a sense that maybe something unsettling is happening behind the scenes.

You take what's called "The Miracle Pill" a new pill that has gone global, a pill that erases doubt and depression. But after loosing your pills, the world around you starts to change. Almost like the pills have made you see things you weren't meant to.

You'll encounter creatures, you'll run for your life, experience world breaking illusions. Slowly loosing your mind not knowing what you'll see next. Using tools to progress, small puzzles to stump you and story telling to keep you hooked. Your goal after all is to survive and beat the nightmare you've lost your self in.

This game includes extensive audio, atmospheric noises, characters, unique creatures, story telling, language and option setting support. Gameplay will vary between 1 - 2 hours, and the game includes save mechanics and subtitles.
