Devil's Deception - PS1 - Prologue (Blind)
2The prologue to Devil's Deception, showing how the protagonist starts a deal with the Devil. This first person RPG / strategy game came out in 1996. It was developed by Tecmo and is exclusive to the original PlayStation. It's a very early first person title for the system and also one of PlayStation's first ever RPGs.
It's not an RPG in the traditional sense but still includes lots of classic RPG elements. You play the master of an evil castle, which is constantly being invaded by heroes and villains alike. To stop them you set traps, defeating the intruders makes you stronger. You are aligned with the forces of evil but there are different outcomes and endings, so your ultimate fate isn't set in stone.
There are rumours this might be cursed, some channels that played or even mentioned this game had bad things happen to them and stopped doing videos. Others just can't bring themselves to finish it.
Not sure what I think of that, the game isn't that scary but it has an unsettling atmosphere and I did feel uneasy at certain points. I know a few of the channels that were affected, but I don't want to mention names so as not to distress those involved. It could all just be a coincidence, but who knows what evil lurks? buried deep in the code of this old game.
Interestingly it does have sequels, but from a third person perspective with made up characters, in this it's YOU that's doing the dastardly deeds. Perhaps this is one that should be viewed with caution... and if my uploads ever stop suddenly out of the blue, then maybe it's that curse taking hold again.
I'm playing the original disc on a PS3.
