Can I Run Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals?
Glowstick Entertainment released Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals in 2020. It is an action casual game, self published by the studio. It offers cooperative play. Its 6 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Its Steam review count passes 2 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Completionists have 16 achievements to work through. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe.

Why Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals is demanding
The graphics requirement for Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals is light. Hardware around Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 is enough, so Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals runs on machines never bought for gaming. Disk footprint is light, near 3 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals at the floor and Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals expects 16 GB of system memory.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals?
Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 2GB/ AMD Radeon R7 370 2GB, 8 GB RAM, about 3 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.89x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.06x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.47x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
