Masks Of Deception

Simply cannot recommend this game right now, Game is in pre alpha instead of early access. Game dev is sad because it didnt take off like the other games and now sets his discord mods to eliminate anyone who even thinks about talking negatively about the game. Just a questionable state right now. Anyway, do not buy the game, just yet....

I was really enjoying this game but sadly the developer is self-destructive. There are not enough players to play solo so we networked and created a group of friends to play together. However, because solo queues could not get enough games the developer is talking about removing friend lobbies or cutting them down to half size. We of course spoke out against this but it was met with conversations being deleted and shut down and developer acting like we were threatening him because we told him the truth that we are not going to play if we can't play in lobbies. So anyway, things came to a head and a huge argument on discord and the dev literally told people to uninstall and refund the game. Sadly the thread was deleted so I can't prove this, but this was the final straw for me. I can't tolerate this. This review was edited from positive to negative because of this. Can't play solo, and get punished for networking and asking friends to play with you. I'm out.

unfortunate, game was ok but the Dev was horribly rude. Literally told me to "F" Off and refund the game because I wanted to play with my friends and not solo queue.

Edit Five: Game is now free, hopefully it picks up. Sad and avoidable outcome from the dev. Edit Four: Don't buy the game, other reviews are true. Talked with the Dev and he refuses to change his vision for the game. Likely going to die, don't bother. They're an echo-chamber who try to disqualify discenting opinions. The negative reviews you read about the community are likely not blown out of proportion. Dev has accumulated loyal people who will back his opinions. The people and dev have claimed that this does not represent the full picture of the game, so I will leave these key points here for you to judge that are accurate at this time of reviewing. - Going from lower 90's to 74% positive on steam - Stagnated playerbase that peaked near launch - Game having literally 0 players during multiple times of the night/day. - Consistently low 24hour highs despite trickling new players, often only staying in the 20's; despite the fact that you need SIX PLAYERS TO EVEN PLAY THE GAME. - The ...

I paid for this game and it was terrible, and now it's free to play? Where is my refund???

Game is super fun but the developer's behavior is absolutely intolerable. Blaming devoted players for wanting to play with groups due to uncomfortable experiences with toxic players in an already miniscule playerbase. Direct, constructive criticism in the discord is labeled as condescending and deleted. There is a lot of censorship and lack of self-accountability from the dev. I empathize with the game not growing in the way he hoped, but the way he treats his playerbase is pretty appalling. For these reasons I'm changing my review to negative.

Make sure you watch the video on how to play. This game is awesome once you get the hang of it. I recommend getting a private lobby group together to play for fun!

"6 player horror game" forces 6 players each match. Add AI so I don't need to play with randoms since I don't have 6 friends and we waited a little bit to get into a match with no result. Will try it out again if this changes

Was a fun game. Had its ups and down. Sadly the dev decided to remove friendlobbies and throw a fit in discord and delte all criticism, so i regret buying the game and gifting it to 2 friends.

"Inside The Backrooms" has been out for 3 less days than this game and this game gives out dozens of copies and it still has 120 less review. maybe because mods don't play and ban people when they feel like, maybe its that NPC's don't kill you with no rhyme or reason. PLEASE LISTEN TO US!
