31 Days of Horror – Day 23

Tecmo’s Deception: Invitation to Darkness (1996) Playstation

An underrated little horror/RPG gem for the PSX.   You play the game as an unjustly executed man that with his dying breath forges a pact with Satan (yes, in the game he is called “Satan”).  Once this dark pact is sealed you come into possession of a castle with which you use to set traps and kill unsuspecting visitors.  All with the intention of delivering more souls unto the dark lord.  The back of the game was even emblazoned with this warning:  “This game contains satanic references and may be inappropriate for some individuals.”
