RATING

Overview

In Dark Deception: Hunted, players enter a cursed maze filled with relentless nightmares. Their mission is to collect all the soul shards scattered across the map while avoiding monsters at every turn. Each match is a tense race against time, combining fast-paced movement with strategic evasion. Designed for multiplayer, the game allows players to face these horrors together or alone, adapting the iconic Dark Deception style to Roblox’s social and creative environment. It’s both a test of skill and a thrilling extension of the original series.

“With Dark Deception: Hunted, we wanted to honor the franchise’s intensity while reimagining it for Roblox’s unique community. What started as a fan-driven passion project has grown into the first official Dark Deception adaptation on the platform, bringing its suspenseful, heart-pounding gameplay to a new generation of players in a way that’s fresh, collaborative, and true to the original spirit.”

Gameplay

Hunted captures the core tension of Dark Deception with gameplay designed for short, intense sessions. Players can choose to compete solo or cooperate in multiplayer lobbies, adapting their strategy to the number of hunters in the maze. AI monsters are unpredictable, forcing players to think fast and adapt. The shard-collecting objective drives exploration, while power-ups and environmental hazards add variety to each run. Whether surviving to the end or falling to the nightmares, every match offers a mix of suspense, surprise, and adrenaline.

Built to feel like The Original Dark Deception

The game’s visuals stay true to Dark Deception’s eerie aesthetic, blending moody lighting, atmospheric fog, and detailed maze environments. Shadows stretch across corridors, guiding or deceiving players as they search for shards. Each map combines gothic and surreal elements, creating a sense of unease while remaining optimized for smooth performance on Roblox. Character models are faithfully adapted from the original series, with animations and effects that heighten tension. The result is a visual style that feels both authentic to the franchise and tailored for Roblox players.

Rooted in the community

Hunted’s success is rooted in its community. What began as a fan-made project quickly gained traction within the Dark Deception fandom, growing organically as players shared gameplay across social platforms.

This enthusiasm caught the attention of the IP owners, leading to an official collaboration. Roblox proved to be the perfect platform for expansion, its social nature, creative tools, and massive player base allowed the franchise to connect with younger audiences while keeping its core fans engaged.

“Dark Deception: Hunted will be purely gameplay. Very little of the Dark Deception story will be included. So, no, this is not a replacement for the full game. It's just a fun way to experience the core of Dark Deception in multiplayer on  Roblox. Also, the levels will match more closely with the design of OG DD/Super Dark Deception than the enhanced final version of Dark Deception.”
