Our take on Deliverance
Instead of giving the player weapons or direct combat tools, Deliverance makes escape and concealment the central structure. Its randomized elements also depart from a fixed horror sequence by changing aspects of each playthrough.
What is Deliverance?
Deliverance is a first-person survival horror game set in a maze-like abandoned asylum with two floors.
Playing as Victim #3, the player searches for a way out while avoiding a captor who is pursuing a serial-killing spree. The character has no weapons and must rely on hiding, movement, and a flashlight. Batteries must be scavenged to keep the light working. Notes left by earlier victims reveal parts of their stories, while discoveries about the captor provide additional background. Randomized gameplay elements alter each playthrough. The game also includes an additional secret horror experience that explores the story further.
