Deception IV: Blood Ties
Deception IV: Blood Ties follows the story of Laegrinna, an animated fragment of a captive devil's soul who fights her enemies by mischievously luring them into strategically placed traps. From rolling boulders and spiked walls to springboards, iron maidens, human cannons, falling bathtubs and banana peels, the player can choose from a variety of dramatic, sadistic and comical traps to finish off an enemy. However, it is not enough to simply set traps, because they must be activated one after another. Timing also plays an important role, since a premature activation could cause Laegrinna to fall into her own trap or get caught by her rivals. Depending on how an enemy is killed or captured, the three servants of the devil - Veruza, Caelea and Lilia (each representing a different aspect of cruelty: Sadistic Torment, Elaborate Death and Humiliating End) - receive points and improved traps.
