source: wikipedia_enTecmo's Deception: Invitation to Darkness is a 1996 action role-playing video game developed and published by Tecmo for the PlayStation. Although often referred to simply as "Deception", the game's official title is Tecmo's Deception. Tecmo's Deception was released as Kokumeikan (刻命館) in Japan, and as Devil's Deception in Europe by Sunsoft. The game inverts the common tropes of role-playing video games by placing the player in the role of an evil lord who must use traps and monsters to kill the adventuring parties which invade his castle. As the story progresses, the player character learns he has been the victim of multiple deceptions, and must decide whether to proceed with his plan to revive the Devil or convert to the cause of good. The game is the first in the Deception series. It was a critical success, with reviewers particularly praising the originality of the game's concept.
