In the movie Stand By Me, a group of 4 young boys set out on a journey to see a dead body. They go through a series of ordeals to reach it, but when they do, it's a kind of a sad anticlimax for the narrator; a disturbing, morbid site that leaves him shaken and signals the end of his childhood.

I mention this to illustrate a point: Great Deceiver is that dead body. It is disgusting, it is cruel, and once you see it, your life will be forever changed by the knowledge that not only something like this exists, but that it was produced and sold for real money. There is no masturbatory value to be found here, even patched to restore the 90% of the game that was cut out to make this sellable on steam. The sex scenes are miserable, profoundly unarousing, and completely degrading. The protagonist is repeatedly tortured, sodomized, and defecated both onto his body and also has feces forced into his orifices. I've been playing for 10 hours and I have not had to make a single decision in this time, merely watched as the protagonist is subjected to increasingly typo-ridden disgusting sexual torture as the game progresses.

There are moments of this game so mind boggingly stupid and disgusting that you have to laugh at them, like when the protagonist has 5 pints of semen injected into his testicles via his urethra or when he is trapped in a NASA designed masturbation chair jerking him off into a chalice used in the Last Supper, but most of it is just the tedious inevitability of the protagonist making stupid decisions, being imprisoned, and then being repeatedly sodomized to the point of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and pissing himself, which happens at the end of pretty much every scene.

I figure you have to know what you are getting if you have any familiarity with this game or the Starless franchise in general, but in the off chance that you do not, you just stumbled across this steam page and you're looking for a eroge to get off to, this is not that game. This is a trainwreck that you are going to gawk at in morbid fascination because you are unable to take your eyes off of it.

EDIT:
I have since "completed" this game. Every single ending has been cut from the game even with the uncensor patch. This is, quite frankly, a joke compared to the JAST release of Starless, which may have the most typo ridden garbage ever, but at least was uncensored completely and included all scenes.
