Tecmo's Deception: Invitation to Darkness
Kokumeikan (刻命館) in Japan
The first game in the series, released in 1996 for the PlayStation, Tecmo's Deception plays unlike its successors in almost every capacity. It uses a first-person perspective similar to the then-popular King's Field series. At the time, Tecmo's Deception was also rather controversial with its storyline about a murdered, nameless prince who makes a pact with the Devil to become the master of what's known as the Castle of the Damned, in order to get revenge on his brother Yurias, who framed him for the murder of their father, the king, in order to usurp the throne and claim the fiancée of the player, Princess Fiana.
In addition to the rating of Teen (for animated violence and blood), the back of the game's jewel case contains an additional disclaimer which reads: "WARNING: This game contains satanic references and may be inappropriate for some individuals." All later Deception titles, although no longer about service in Satan's name, received ratings of Mature.
