A downloadable game for Windows

Sincere Deceit is a fangame based on the indie title OFF by Mortis Ghost. You play as The Batter once more, dropped into a world slowly falling apart from a mysterious force corrupting it. It is your job to decide whether to fight against this force, or let it consume the world around you. Follow either of the two voices guiding you, or choose to cut your own path to find out the truth of what happened.

Sincere Deceit is a horror game at heart, and thus deals with many heavy topics, such as violence/cruelty, gore/body horror, suicide, cult indoctrination, jumpscares (both visual and audio based) and some flashing on the screen. This is not a game for the faint of heart.

The game features multiple endings, depending on your choices throughout the story. The average playtime of a single playthrough is around 8 hours when ignoring multiple playthroughs or optional content.

--------------------------------

The game comes in a ZIP file, so make sure to unzip and extract the folder so that you can save your game properly! You can launch the game by double clicking the exe file in the first folder. Make sure to also install the fonts found within the first folder so that text displays properly while playing. If the game doesn’t run properly or it says you’re missing the RTP file, check the link in the READ ME file to get the proper files. 

We recommend wearing headphones if you aren’t sensitive to loud sounds and keeping notes as you play for the best experience! Make sure to make saves often as well, as this game will sometimes close itself (the errors are intentional).

15 save files is not enough for this game

Soooo... bit of an issue I encountered on the Blue Route's tower on layer 2: I can't offer the grand items in restored zones 2 and 3. Whenever I TRY to, it gets rid of the respective grand items, but won't actually count the items as "offered," and I can't get them back under any circumstances. As a result, I literally can't continue.

Can anyone help?

woah I've never seen that. Are you offering them in the heart rooms or the boss rooms

First I did the heart rooms, then loaded back to offer them in the boss rooms when that didn't work. End result was the same, unfortunately.

It's worth noting that Blue Zone 1 worked just fine, though.

When it says to start with a SMILE, does that mean I have to make a new save and name myself that? What does that change?

by the gods the off fandom yet still live's i must begin playing this immediately

If you don't want to redownload the whole 1.10GB for the new update, you can download the Hotfix here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/qtkbip7ulgmd45l/Bug_Fix_General_5.25.21.zip/file 

If you've saved your game in the church after the prison and didn't get the scene that plays in the church, download either of these files, then walk out the front entrance and back into the church. This should fix it! Thank you, and have an awesome day!

I deleted my comment and placed the new bug fix in a dev log instead! Hopefully this will be the last fix that will need to be put out. If not, we will release an actual patch. I'm trying to avoid it, since it would require having to reupload 1GB. It's easier to just post a link for a couple hundred KBs. I hope this is ok! Have a great day everyone! 

Hey, I recently watched a video of someone fighting the warden and it was completely different from mine. In their playthrough the warden was holding the judge hostage and he fights you normally, but in my playthrough the judge isn't there and the warden transforms. Is this dependent on something I do in the game or is it something else?

Yes, there is a chance for the battle to be different depending on a choice you make in the prison! It all depends on whether you choose to go down into the chop shop first, or you go straight to the boss of the prison. :>

Hey again, it's me i just finished all the endings for the restored route and it was phenomenal! I really loved the ending of this route. Just a quick question, where can i find this secret path on this worn paper? Thanks!

Hello again! :D I'm so happy to see you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!!! As for that note, if you go back to Outside you can go to the left and right of the main room to find more bosses. This note is for the upper most northern area of that section. The main room will become more obvious that there are more rooms in the updated version of the game. Thank you again for playing! < 333

Hey! I'm enjoying your fan-game so far, it's one of the best OFF fan-games I've ever seen!

I've come across a problem in both routes at the end of the game regarding the tower.

At the postal Service in Red Zone 1, After I kill all the Spectres on floor Secret ??? then head to Lost ???, the shadows immediately come and instantly crash the game before i have time to do anything.

And in Blue Zone 2, I can't get past the Pedalo Trail Minigame

This trail Activates this block instead of the proper one

it activates this one instead, and i have no way of activating the last block. A reply would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Thank you for playing the game! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying it so far! I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with the game though. 

The first one shouldn't be happening since there is a timer that counts down for that one. I will have to look into it and fix it so that you have plenty of time to get to the elevator.  As for the second one, that will also be fixed! If you can, try to continue forward to the very last block you see in that room and see if it activates when you interact with it. That should complete the puzzle. I believe this might just be a visual issue that I overlooked, but it will be fixed in an update we're planning on releasing sometime soon! Thank you again for playing and commenting. :>

How did you do both versions of floor 2? Did you just play the whole game twice?

I logged back in after two years just to answer your question! Yes I did play through the whole game twice! If I recall correctly I remember enjoying it so much that I basically did multiple playthroughs to 100% everything. There are a lot of secrets that are very very well hidden! Hope this answers your question!
