Day 5: Alternate Plans

[amistyshadow]

Agatha

The little amount of fanart for dark deception, is an actual crime! It’s such a good game and the story is so good. Agatha has always been my personal favorite, and I’m honestly surprised no one has done art based on superhorrorbro’s theory about Agatha being the daughter of Bierce’s maid. Seriously, why is there so little of this?! It’s honestly a mystery to me!

Also I might have to do more 1930s outfits, idk why they were so much fun to draw. 😅

Outline of them, for now 😌

Been binge watching 8-BitRyan's playthrough of Dark Deception. So I just had to draw Bierce.

Gold Watcher! Yuu

The third level of the Nightmare Realm, Deadly Decadence. It is a level tailored specifically for those who values wealth above all. Those died in greed are coated in the gold and wealth they loved so much. Yuu is no different. They are one of the youngest Gold Watchers, but they are still lethal nonetheless.

Lord Malak had ordered them and their family to chase after the mortal going after their ring piece. As Yuu raise their axe, preparing to deal the killing blow as their siblings cornered the mortal, a neighing sound pierced the eternal night.

`There aren't supposed to be horses here,' was the last thing they thought before getting hit by a horse-pulled carriage.

They heard their siblings cried out to them in their telepathic bond, and heard the thud of the mortal's body and the smell of copper as their blood was spilt by a spike trap.

At least Lord Malak will be pleased.

He blinks a couple of time, and before he knew it the statue was gone.

Arrival

Grim opened the coffin and almost got flattened by a golden statue wearing the ceremonial robe.

Yuu ran all over the school, trying to find out where in the Nightmare Realms are they.

They ended up in the library, and when Grim arrived they immediately stop moving.

Crowley came to a cat monster trying to tear the ceremonial robe off a statue.

When he diverts his gaze to Grim, he heard a heavy step and saw that the statue had moved from a salute to a wave.

"A-Are you alive!?"

When there's no response, Crowley did his signature thinking pose and close his eyes, thinking what the hell just happen.

"Myah! It moved again!"

The statue moved from a wave to handing a piece of paper to Crowley.

It says, "I can't move if you look at me. Close your eyes or divert your gaze. Then we'll talk,"

So Crowley did. He even grabs Grim (in his Rope of Love) and turns around, their backs facing the statue.

And they hear a voice.

They tell them their name is Yuu, and asks Crowley where they are.

Crowley tells them they're in Night Raven College, and urges them to follow him and also to watch for their familiar.

To which Yuu replies that they can't, because if someone sees them they'll freeze in place. It's not an option, it's an unfortunate curse that traitorous witch (Bierce) had put to make things 'fair' between the monsters and the mortals that came to their realm.

Crowley can't remove the curse, but he can modify it. He changes the condition for Yuu standing still from 'being within line of sight' to 'making direct eye contact'.

So Yuu, who tries their best to just look at the floor, go to the hall with Grim and Crowley.

When the time comes for the Dark Mirror to sort them, it says something very concerning.

"A soul full of greed, coated in the gold that was loved so much. Your time had passed, your body had long perished, and yet you still remains here in front of us all. A soul filled with greed for all things, there are no dorms that can fit such huge desires, so this soul belongs to no dorm,"

So that was concerning. Wait, does that mean this student is technically dead!?

Grim, upon hearing this demands that Yuu gives the robe to him.

Chaos ensues and when Crowley asks someone to stop Grim, Yuu threw their axes.

Yes, axes. They take it from somewhere and they didn't stop. It wasn't until Grim was completely surrounded by golden axes that they finally stop.

Azul is looking at the axes with an incomprehensible face. Are those axes made of real gold?

Crowley can't send Yuu back because their home isn't in this world, so they have to stay at Ramshackle for a while.

It was a total downgrade from the manor they used to live in, and it's also made off wood. Yuu is a bit scared to climb the stairs, they fear the floorboards might not be able to support their weight.

Luckily, it did. But the creaking increases their anxiety, so they might need to find some wooden planks and replace it first chance they got.

Grim comes in and they battle the ghosts. Yuu is technically a 'ghost', having already died and the current form is just what they gain after arriving to Deadly Decadance. So their axes can do damage to the ghosts.

After Crowley checks in, they got promoted from guest to janitor.

Crowley expected some complaints since they're dressed like an aristocrat, but they didn't.

Most monsters spend their time cleaning their respective Realm and made some adjustment to their it. I mean, how often is it for an average human to get past the monkeys, Agatha and Lord Malak?

Dwarf's Mine

Yuu doesn't sleep. They spend their night cleaning what they can. They don't know how to deal with the plumbing and electricity. The ones in the manor never had such problems, weirdly enough.

Their first task is to clean the Statue of The Seven and the area surrounding it.

Yuu half expected the statues to move and talk, like they did. They didn't.

As they wondered who the statue was made in the image of, Ace appears and explains who they all are.

The moment Ace made fun of them, they decided to make fun of him in return.

All it takes was one. Single. Blink.

They moved behind Ace and taps his shoulder. When he turns around.

He came face-to-face with a wide, open mouth and an axe raised above.

Yuu started to laugh like mad after Ace fell over from shock. Ace asks them for a fight to which they refuse. So Grim takes over because Ace called him a raccoon.

Their fight ends with them charring the Queen of Hearts statue.

The trio ends up having to clean every single window in school.

Yuu obviously can't climb a ladder and clean the upper windows, because, you know, their weight.

They realise that Ace is gone and tracks him down using telepathy. Where they find out that he is leaving them and Grim to do all the cleaning. They also heard Ace's mind dissing them, so they grab Grim to find and drag that card soldier.

They ran into Deuce, and after a chase Deuce ended up throwing Yuu (which takes a lot more effort because gold) towards the chandelier.

So now they need to get that magic stone or its expulsion.

Yuu sees Ace, Deuce and Grim arguing which almost leads to them getting killed and decided that they need to intervene.

They went back to the dwarf's house for a strategy meeting.

They told them to work together.

Grim: Don't tell me what to do, henchman!

Yuu:... What did you call me?

Grim: You're my henchman, obviously.

So Yuu briefly turned into their nightmare mode and destroys the table and the floor in one swing.

After a few seconds of horrified silence, Yuu turns back into their regular form and acts like nothing happened.

Let's just say that the three's braincells are permanently shared from that point on.

Since Yuu is the fastest, they'll get the magic stone. The other three needs to work together to distract the miner.

It works, but when Yuu gets back the miner notices what Yuu has in their hand and went to get it, pickaxe in hand.

Only for it to get chopped clean in half by a golden axe.

Ace: Wait, you can defeat that miner in one swing? Why didn't you do it before!?

Yuu: I forgot.

They definitely didn't.

They get the stone back to Crowley, and now Yuu and Grim's position is promoted to students (prefect for Yuu) of NRC.

That night, Yuu wonders how the other Gold Watchers are faring.

Bonus: The other Gold Watchers are planning to raid Bierce's dimension because they think she's responsible for taking one of them. Malak and Mama Bear are scared by their determination.

[unflappedflea]

some dark deception redesigns

Yes I'm a dark deception fan. Yes I think the game sucks. so I redesigned some characters I don't like the designs ofI especially hate joykills design. They seriously missed on that

[xxdemonlesixx]

[endstar]

The butler did it au Bierce

This au is about Bierce but she is MUCH smarter and is the definition of clever.

Cannon Malak would HATE her

Let me know if y’all want to know more about her

[novel-sugar]

So I finished playing through all the currently available chapters of Dark Deception last night. Good game, might make a full blown review post about it later down the line. Can you guess which pair of characters I’m absolutely in love with? the answer may surprise you

[downerette]

An art summary of the year. The template was made by EspiPhantom on deviantart.

Never did I think I would ever post my drawings publicly but here we are, and it’s largely due to Dark Deception. What can I say, it’s been a huge inspiration for me. I haven’t been this fixated on a game since We Happy Few and I’m excited to see what Chapter 5 has in store for us.

Thank you all for the likes, reblogs, and messages, they truly mean the world to me and push me to do better. Here’s to 2023.

Don’t mind my art style changing every time 😭💀
