Survival Horror Game DARK DECEPTION Getting Feature Adaptation
So it Goes Entertainment (the upcoming WOLF CREEK: LEGACY) will produce.
Survival horror video game Dark Deception is the latest to make the jump from the console to the big screen, with a feature adaptation in the works from writers Adrian Speckert and Cory Todd Hughes of U.S. indie outfit So It Goes Entertainment (currently in production on the upcomingWolf Creek: Legacy).
Created by Vincent Livings and released by Glowstick Entertainment, the first chapter of the episodic Dark Deception was released in 2018, with a fifth chapter set for release later this year. In Dark Deception, players are trapped in a dark world full of nightmarish mazes and ridiculous monsters, with the only way out is to face the darkness and find a way to survive. According to So It Goes, Dark Deception has sold 6.5 million units, and boasts 58 million players worldwide.
Per Deadline, who reported the Dark Deception feature news earlier today, casting and production details are still in discussions.
Per Speckert and Hughes in a joint statement:
“Our production company has a rich love of horror and the horror genre […] We’re enjoying the creative process on producing Wolf Creek: Legacy with the incredible team we have there, and we’d love to replicate that experience with Dark Deception. It’s an incredible, endless list of amazing characters and lore, and we can’t wait to extrapolate from all of that and bring a terrifyingly fun and faithful adaptation to the screen.”
