[h3]Patch Notes[/h3]
  • The Spider Terror now sprays its web whilst executing, wrapping up its victim.

  • [FIXED] Several bushes in the final area of the Manor are no longer jumpable over.
  • [FIXED] The third person audio for the Spider & Vampire terrors doesn't play properly.
  • [FIXED] When loading the tutorial after playing a game you're met with a black screen.
  • [FIXED] Several on-screen prompts display 'V' for remote voting instead of 'X'.
  • [FIXED] Occasionally the ghost players are incorrectly displayed in full white.

Spider Terror DLC

Hello Test Subjects!

After many years the Game Master has finally gotten round to developing a new virus, particularly targeting those of you with arachnophobia. His latest virus is concentrated with the venom of a spider he found in the Lumberyard. When mixed with a few other special ingredients it results in a half-human half-spider monster, with a powerful web-spinning ability.

Grab the Spider Pack today from Steam! Purchasers in the first week of it’s release will receive a 10% discount!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1587640/Deceit__Spider_Pack/

[h2]Spider Pack[/h2]
The Spider Pack contains the following:
  • Playable Spider Terror Character
  • Newspaper (melee)
  • Cobweb T-shirt (all characters)
  • Spider Emblem
  • 10 Normal Tokens
  • 200 Credits

A bit about the Spider Terror’s kit:
  • Ability: Webshot
    • Shoot out a web from your mouth and depending on what it connects with the outcome changes. Hit a structure and after a short delay you will pull yourself towards it. Alternatively, connect with a player and after a short delay you will pull them in towards you. Depending on the situation you will want to use each of these to your advantage.
  • Execution: Cocoon
    • When you have earned an execution you can grab an Innocent player, pick them up, spin them round as you wrap them in your web, and leave them to suffocate.

The Spider is released with 6 cosmetic skins:
  • Spider - the default skin you get when purchasing the DLC
  • Black Widow - a jet black skin
  • Marvelous - a red and black skin
  • Easter Pattern - a cream skin with Easter egg and carrot pattern all over it - available only during the Easter Event
  • Rainbow - a shiny pearlescent skin - see Early Bird Bonus below
  • Peacock - a turquoise skin with orange spots and fur spikes
Early Bird Bonus: purchase the Spider DLC before midday BST on April 29th to receive the exclusive Legendary skin ‘Rainbow’ for your Spider Terror. This skin will never be available again after this promotion.


[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]
  • The in-game escape menu now has sound effects when hovering and clicking buttons.
  • The vent icons now position correctly.
  • The DLC bundle available on Steam has been updated to include the Werewolf, Vampire and now Spider.
  • The Legendary Wakizashi (knife override) is still a bonus reward from the DLC bundle, however, if you already own this reward you will still keep it.
  • Terror crosshairs have been updated.


Reminder: the Easter Event is still going but ends on Monday 19th. This weekend is your last chance to grab what you can, including the Easter Pattern Spider skin which is only released in today's update.

Infected and Proximity Chat

  • Infected chat has been re-added to both matchmade and ranked games, as well as an option in custom games to enable infected chat during just the night, or also during the day.
  • The default keybind to vote using the “Remote Voting” custom game option has been moved to ‘X’, whilst ‘V’ is now used for infected voice chat. In text chat Infected can ‘Tab’ between human and Infected chat channels.
  • Proximity chat has been added to custom games. Two options have been added for configuring voice chat during both day and night periods allowing for: global voice chat, muted, or proximity at 5, 10, and 20 metres.
  • Custom games have been expanded to allow parties of 4 to play. Configure the game with either 1, 2, or ‘random’ number of infected, and see if you or your friends can escape.
  • Vent map icons have increased in size to make them easier to click.
  • The hold interaction circle now enlarges when channelling to be slightly more obvious.
  • The “Innocent can talk at night” game mode option has been removed, as it is now accounted for by the new voice chat option.
  • Interaction distance has been increased from 1.8 to 2 metres.
  • Blood boost for your Infected teammate being eliminated, or starting as a solo Infected has been decreased from 800 to 600.


The Easter event is still live. Grab as many cosmetics as you can before it ends on the 19th of April.

Next week we’re excited to be bringing you the first expansion since 2018: Spider DLC.
