About this 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.

Deceived Of Joy Update
(Chase Time Changed) Due to popular demand, we’ve shortened the chase sequence by removing Phase 2. Previously, the chase had three phases: Phase 1 the Introduction, Phase 2, and the Final Chase. Now, the sequence goes directly from the Introduction to the Final Chase, making the experience faster and more intense. (Fixed?) We’ve addressed a rare issue where defeating the Hand could leave the player frozen and prevent the transition to the final level. Now, a safety command automatically forces the level change after the 32-second cutscene. Note: If the issue still occurs, you can access a debug command to skip directly to the last level: 1.From the Menu, go to Extras. 2.In the top-right corner, click multiple times until a list of commands appears. 3.Click (AllLvls) to access the final level directly—no need to replay earlier sections.Read full article on Community Announcements (levelboundstudios)Patch NotesOfficial
