Dark Deception Speedruns are SUPER UNFORGIVING 

I love this game and it's very unfortunate that each new chapter takes half a decade to be released but the moment it's even announced, the game takes over RU-vid haha

Dark Deception goes from sexy nurse from silent hill to evil animatronics from fnaf that can talk

Fun fact: the boss fights in the first few levels were not in the game when those chapters were released, hence how weird and buggy they feel compared to the newer chapter boss fights. Originally, all the levels just ended with the dark boss just chasing you back to the start.

i’ve realized the logic of spiff’s channel is as follows: 1) find game to speed run. do pretty well 2) learn what makes the game tick and how to pare out anything not completely necessary to the run 3) speed run with a better time with this knowledge 4) use said knowledge to show off what of the game you can cut entirely (fnaf sprintless, jumpless, and freddyless; poppy out of bounds/skips) 5 optional) find what breaks when the game isn’t played right and make even more challenges out of that (gigamonty -> monty mod) 6 very optional) get familiar enough with a game to play it blindfolded (little nightmares, poppy 1&2) it’s not always this formula, but i’m excited for what spiff’s gonna break next if i’m right

Dark Deception is one of those games that made me realize there is a lot of untapped gameplay in horror. It's a genre with low barrier to entry but often has walking and puzzles as the main gameplay. While DD is a more Arcade/Pac-Man horror. There are some really cool innovations in the scene though. There's things like LIDAR, Iron Lung, and tons of cool genre blends. Theres Horror dating sims, pet sims, management sims, and vehicle operation types. There's also plenty to be explored in horror genres like home invasion, mundane work horror, social horror, and multiplayer horror. Sadly most indie devs don't have the resources to both really explore alternatives while still keeping the horror good.

Of all the different death scenes in the game. Getting beat to death by the bunny holds a special place in my heart.

This was a pleasant surprise, this game needs some more recognition from youtubers honestly

“Aren’t we all a little crazy? After all, it’s a mad mad world out there,” is a quote I find more relatable every day

You can always trust Spigg to speedrun the crap out of any game he gets his hands on, and always have an insane experience speedrunning it. Dark Deception runs are awesome, absolutely love Slide% lmao edit: keep the spigg train going, comments section :kekW:

I just wish Spigg's Dark Deception journey never ends whether speedrunning or not

I've never actually seen levels with all unlocked abilities, and honestly, the first two levels are incredible! I love how it kinda changes the way you play these corridory maps

THIS GAME LOOKS LIKE AN INSANLY HARD GAME

as much as i adore this game, i agree that the nurses are the worst level. i legitimately forgot about it for months and, once i saw the new stages had released, i was so excited to see (what i thought would be) a run down and barren hospital only to be hit with fnaf security breach 2

'i secretly adore being stalked my scary invisible women' Me:Looks at Ordina from Elden Ring 'Yeah.... Me too...'

I just want to say that the programmer for this game is not at fault for how buggy it is. He basically has to program and test the entire game all on his own. Chapter 3 especially was announced _well_ before it was ready to even start being tested.

I was actually expecting him to start talking about eating erasers. After the Playdough and grass eating bullcrap.

NO WAY I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE A CROSSOVER OF A GOOD STREAMER AND DARK DECEPTION

Hey, I just found your channel a few days ago and I really love everything you post. I’m doing a massive binge of you content, and the speed run submissions are among my favourites so far

God i love Spiff's content. Not only is it great content, but it's also really good background noise. I can just put on some astral spiff while I draw and it's great. I struggle to muster the will to draw sometimes, but spiff just gets the creative juices flowing, ig :)

These spiff videos has taught me more about spiff's weird addiction to eating things you shouldn't eat as a kid, than the speedrun of the game itself.

As someone who loves Dark Deception, the nurse boss fight really makes you feel like you’re in hell.

You know, I learned a lot of very important strategies from this video. But the most important strategy has to be to "watch your step. You can't run if you have a gaping hole in your foot."

if you like the "pacman but scary" aspect you might enjoy It Steals; that game pulls off a way scarier vibe with it imo, and the mechanics are super interesting

"10 minutes of walking around chimera ant tunnels" I see Spiff is a connoisseur.

I love how he calls Bierce “Goth Miss Frizzle”😂

Love this game I’m so glad you’re covering it!

As a vodder, I am so glad you turned this into a video

Loved the DD streams! I have never heard of it before then I actally really enjoyed your streams playing the game. I hope you continue to do more with this game

Spiff saying “we’ve been here before believers” the immediately blowing up is the funniest thing from his videos 38:44

38:34 fun fact, the rest position for the Boss here is actually the pose they go to when switching actions.

This video launch just when I feel bored

Dark deception is like anything good in life, it comes out, and you love every second of it. Then you don't get anything new for 30 years and forget it exists, until something new does come out and it's like there was no gap and u just go right into it

dark deception has my heart, it keeps you on your toes the whole time, i love it

Dark Deception was a game I saw years ago and thought it was interesting, but then I didnt see it again until only recently. It looks like they did a good job though. It would have been easy to just do the first person pacman with reskinned enemies and level design.

i didn't draw "genitalia" on my erasers in school, but i did give them a six pack and turned the cardboard thing around it into a cape :3

I've binged all of Spiff's vods on this game and yet I'm still excited to see the video woo! Have really come to enjoy this game thanks to Spiff

Me: * casually dismantling my pen in class * My teacher: "alright class take out your pens" Me: * frantically reassembling my pen *

This video has become my go-to rewatch for whenever I need to do something but need something to listen to. The pacing of the video, the stories, the editing, the music... it's all so good. Perfect for background Spiff :)

I love pomegranate, it's great for so many reasons My 3 main reasons 1. Great taste 2. (If you're opening it yourself) It's a nice, calming activity and it's nice to do while you're watching something (like Spiff's videos) 3. It's a healthy snack

Honestly you're the GOAT. I've been really sick since the beginning of July and your videos have kept me in higher spirits when I almost met fate. Only wish is that you uploaded daily

i really enjoyed watching the vod of this run, glad to see you turned it into a video! love your content spiff, thanks for always brightening my day :)

I loved the part when he said "it's spiffin time"😱😀

I love Dark Deception and I've been waiting for this video, I hope you make more dark deception speedruns

Nice! Love to see some Dark Deception content! Love your stuff, Spiff. You’re so funny and I can’t wait to see more from you!

Issac and his mother lived in a small house on the hill...

Watching the vods was very fun! Very happy that you did a speedrun of this game :D

Had to look up what PB meant, but I thought it was 'peanut butter'. So every time NOT MY PB pops up on screen, all I can think of is NOT MY PEANUT BUTTER

I love this game and I love your content. Combining the two makes me super happy and this is something I needed while I ride out this hurricane. I hope there's a full version coming to your VOD channel if it isn't already out

I absolutely love the videos spigg! Even though I've already seen most of this live.

im gonna watch this entire thing to brighten up my long tuesday full of responsiblities and hard work :)

While I love watching people play this game since I cannot due to motion sickness, I cannot help but be invested in the fruit conversation. 1. Did you know that you can cook soup with watermelon rind? Just remember to cut out the hard exterior so that it's just the green flesh. Also, do not gorge on it too often or you will end up like my sister with unexpectedly painful cramps. 2. The best way to enjoy kiwi fruits with skin is to scrape off the fuzz with the edge of a spoon so that your mouth doesn't get carpet burns. Nice to hear that Spiff is as lazy as all of us when it comes to preventing potential injuries.

You make every game you run so interesting to watch. Keep it up!

DARK DECEPTIONNNN MAN I love this game Glad you’re covering it in a video :DD

love your content! keep going!!

Love this type of content man, keep it up!

I was just watching all of these vods and then now to watch an edited version of all of them, you love to see it

Having Spiff play my favorite game is wonderful ngl

The giant nurse fight hits seem to not register sometimes because she follows you, and it takes time for those hits to register, so if you go to the opposite side before she gets hit, she will move and not be hit.

16:00 talking about eating kiwis while, that doesn’t surprise me, considering the whole plant eating thing.

I've heard of this game, but I've never actually seen gameplay of it before. I chose to watch this video anyway because of just how gosh darn fun Spiff videos are, and I was right. You also always do a great job of explaining what's going on, so I actually was able to keep up with this video and had a great time watching. Nice one, Spigg, I'll be here for the next run.

Every time I bought a new, clean eraser, i'd draw a cellphone sorta layout on it; numbers, letters and everything. Then i'd pretend to call people on it randomly and have a pretend conversation with the person on the other end of the phone (i'd just talk to myself 😭)

I remember drawing faces on my erasers then sadistically stabbing it with my pencils, and even in tech class drew blood on it where I drilled holes in it or cut it with the foam cutting wire 😅

LETS GOOO BEEN WAITIMG FOR THIS SENCE I WATCHED EVERY DARK DECEPTION SPEEDRUN ON THE VODA CHANNEL

AAAA was just lookin for a vid to watch and u drop a super long vid??? god spiff ur the best

Horror pac-man lmao these streams were so fun to watch!

I love it when Astral spiff said "it's spiffing time" and then spiffed all over the place

0:00 *”Dark Deception is first-person horror Pac-Man.“* *Great comparison there, AstralSpiff. “Looks at “P. Ackman” and “Pac-Man Core Collection,” and back at Dark Deception” (in a sarcastic tone) Not like it already happened once.* 0:10 *Again, yet another great comparison.*

Absolutely nothing has makes me more excited then when i see a new spiff video, and an hour long one too lets GOOO

Man NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THIS GAME! It is super impressive I love the animation's and stuff

I personally never ate playdough, but I can understand why people do. It's brightly colored, the texture of peanut butter, and it's called play DOUGH, they were basically asking people to eat it

Completely forgot about Dark Deception’s existence until now. Thanks, Spiff!

i’m so happy to see you playing this game!!! i absolutely adore it

9:04 "I wonder who does the landscaping here. It's very impressive." 15:52 Dragonfruit is crunchy pomegranate 17:18 Sounds like a man in denial

I can't believe Spiff loves eating raw hamsters

Nice, I watched some of your streams of the game

watching spiff play this game makes it seem not scary. but damn i gotta get on twitch and watch you live

I'm not surprised these speedruns are so brutal; it's quite a difficult game. I really loved parts of _Dark Deception,_ but the controls are truly a sin. The fact that it can require _six inputs_ to activate speed boost is just... insane. I'm on keyboard with 100+ keys; let me bind each power to it's own dedicated key, holy crap. Even a controller has enough dedicated inputs for six abilities.

BRO WAKE UP, NEW ASTRAL SPIFF VID No joke love your stuff man, you make everything you play fun as heck, just keep up with whatever because honestly, its all good content :) Love you Mr Spaceman ❤️

Perfect, I was just craving some Dark Deception shenanigans

this game slays so hard ive loved it for a very long time

I love the themed music. At the start of the Mascot Mayhem - "Happiest Day" (FNAF); and for "boom kids" - the theme of Queen (Deltarune), who's main thing is exploding stuff. Love this detail

Yesssir finally a dark deception speed run vid been watching vods lol

Definitely not using this as an excuse to watch though dark deception again

27:21 I'm sorry but is that the same voice actor as Twilight Sparkle from hit kid's TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic?

YES ive been waiting for this

Awesome video as always!

Ok!

Ive never heard someone call dark deception first person horror pac-man, come to think of it im not sure why as thats probably the best way to sum it up

The spiff video ive been waiting for!

finally the video i was waiting for is out!

Each time you win a level the screen gets darker

Tbh i disagree with the hospital being the worst level gameplay wise. I agree that it is the buggiest. But take it from someone whos hit over 600 hours+ on this game and s ranks story mode repeatedly and every day. You ll die a shit ton of times the first times you will play it but after figuring out the patterns of the traps and the nurses it is definetely the easiest level of chapter 4. Requires optimization and smart management of your powers. Whenever i play this level i usually never die a single time. And when i do its ALWAYS my fault. Their invisibilty is way easier to counter than you think. They always follow you and you can predict where they are. You can see the the sparkles from their rollerscates and also constantly use telepathy to see where they are. It is also the most action based level in the game and the animations and attack styles of the nurses are something far more unique compared to the previous monsters. I believe that with the bug fix update this level will gain a lot more attention.

I've been really waiting for someone to make a new video on this game its so...neat

a cool concept that came to my mind in the duckies level if the tablet got wet and now the ability takes longer to refill

one of the best things about dude is that he never takes credit for himself when he achieves something . he always respect us, the audience, and his team, and he is always polite in all of his video. we congratulate ourselves on this achievement more to come and everything to come""❤💛🧡💙 Let's we all just appreciate the content this man and his crew makes it's just a masterpiece imagine what's he's gonna doing the future ❤ I hope this channel never ends and keeps spreading happiness.❤😊

This is such a good game, I really love it But it sucks the company's CEO is a baby who can't handle criticism

18:12 i never really had those kind of erasers when i did, i used to draw a like meme face on them and draw the absolute BIGGEST 6 pack yall have ever seen under the clothes

YOOOOO NEW SPIFF VIDEO was just looking for a vod to watch while i play minecraft haha! happy to also be a 3 month sub :)

15:13 Dragon fruit is actually my favorite fruit but if you don’t like it that’s fine. I do agree with what Spiff said about almonds because the only nuts I like are peanuts and cashews.

Man I can’t unhear Twilight’s voice when Tara voices the nurse lady
