Vince then did a poll on Youtube and Twitter, about releasing chapter 5 with one level or complete the entire chapter and then release it. On Youtube, the majority of fans wanted one level to be released at a time, while on twitter, the majority wanted the entire chapter to be released. Vince then stated that chapter 5 will have 4 levels and thus he will release the chapter in 2 parts, the first part will contain the first 2 levels and the second part will have the last two levels.
==Trivia==
*He has a 4 year old son.
== Dark Deception Trivia ==
=== Chapter 1 ===
*Chapter 1 is the first and only chapter to include only one level. Every following chapter will contain two to three levels for the player to go through.
*Agatha's teaser at the end of the chapter shows her rounding as a little girl's laughter is heard. However, in the actual chapter, her voice is done by a professional actor, giving her spoken dialogue.
** Malak will not appear at the ballroom door until the player returns from "Monkey Business".
** This chapter originally didn't have a trailer but, shared one with the others in the "Dark Deception Complete Edition Steam Trailer"
=== Chapter 2 ===
* Chapter 2 begins the two-level-per-chapter tradition that will appear in Chapter 3 as well, while Chapters 4 and 5 will have three levels per chapter.
* This chapter is the first to introduce various mechanics, including powers, new barriers, level entrance obstacles, and the presence of Malak within the levels.
* The chapter's title is named after a song used in the 2014 demo with the same name.
* Chapter 2 is the first chapter where every enemy has a voice actor.
* Before the enhanced version, there were no boss fights in this chapter.
*Agatha's level was made in the 2014 demo, although it was never released due to Agatha's ai being broken to the point of the level being impossible to complete.
=== Chapter 3 ===
* Originally, Chapter 3 was supposed to be released on May 31st, but was later changed to June 7th, then to June 24th.
* The developers explained that the reason behind the delay (besides bugs) was to expand the design and gameplay of Crazy Carnevil. As a result, the studio received backlash from many people, but they announced that it was essential to make the game smooth and less bug-filled.
* Ironically, when Chapter 3 was finally released, a big bug in Crazy Carnevil caused many players to skip Zone 2, which is the greatest part of the level, and made it impossible to achieve Rank S. This was fixed afterwards.
=== Chapter 4 ===
* Chapter 4 was the most long awaited chapter until now. Before its release, it was on development for over 2 years.
** The Dark Deception team tried to conceal most of the chapter's content during its production.
* Chapter 4 is so far the second chapter to have all of its enemies with voice lines, the first being Chapter 2.
* Chapter 4 has more enemies than Chapters 1, 2, and 3 combined, as confirmed in a tweet.
** Furthermore, Chapter 4 has more music than Chapters 1, 2, and 3 combined, having a total of 20 total tracks.
* This is the only chapter to have an updated cover. This is due to the old cover missing Mama Bear and having the Matron in the Reaper Nurse's place.
* On October 4th, 2019, a 48-second video released by Glowstick Entertainment of the official voices for the Joy Joy Gang. On October 7th, a video for the voices of the Reaper Nurses was released. On November 11th, a video for the voice of Mama Bear was released. On February 17th, 2020, a video for the voices of the Trigger Teddies was released. On March 11th, 2021, a video for the voice of The Matron was released.
* Vince confirmed in a Q&A video that he and the team were developing chapters 4 and 5 simultaneously. This is done to facilitate Chapter 5's development after Chapter 4's release.
* Each level in Chapter 4 (along with Chapter 5) has three zones, except for Torment Therapy, which will include two zones. This was revealed in the 2nd and 5th Q&A, respectively.
* Each level in Chapter 4 has between 350 - 600 shards.
* Every enemies in Chapter 4 turn into their Nightmare Mode forms before collecting all of the soul shards, just like the Clown Gremlins in the second zone of "Crazy Carnevil". This possibly suggests that the later monsters are becoming more and more aggressive, relentless and threatening when they realize that Doug is a significant threat to their nightmare than any other mortal.
** In Bearly Buried, there used to be a display bug that made it impossible to achieve S Rank, it showed up to 3 bonus shards while only 2 bonus shards were found. This bug has now been fixed.
=== Chapter 5 ===
* A secret level will be unlocked when all the previous levels have S ranks, which, according to a Twitter post from Glowstick Entertainment, will uncover the game's true ending.
* This is further supported by the 4th Q&A, where Vince confirmed that Dark Deception will have multiple endings.
* It is unknown if this is included with Chapter 5

**** In the fifteenth episode of the Q&A, Vince confirms that all other enemies from previous nightmares will likely return as a threat in this chapter where the player has to deal with all of them again, which could make the chapter more challenging and difficult.
