Line 5:
So you're minding your own business, mourning your for-some-reason-dead mother with your absurdly-dressed handmaid and your father the king when he gets murdered. You're blamed because your stepmom hates you, and you and your maid run off to a castle that your family owns which just so happens to be inhabited by the Fiend, a poorly-explained demon of some kind. The Fiend gives you the power to set traps and murder everyone that comes into your castle. Congratulations, you're playing ''Trapt''.
 
Made by Tecmo for the [[Play StationPlayStation 2]] in 2005, [[Market-Based Title|the odd]][[New Season, New Name|ly named]] ''Trapt'' is the fourth game in the ''[[Deception]]'' series, and its Japanese title is ''Kagero II: Dark Illusion'', [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo|due to some confusion in the series about what the actual title is]]. The game's premise is mostly the same as the previous entries: you're in a mansion, kill everyone too dumb to stay away. Damaging enemies nets you Warl, which is used to create new traps and open new areas. Damaging enemies also gets you Ark, which does nothing but provide you with another funny word to say while the game loads.
 
The production quality is...lacking, to say the least. Acting tends to fall flat, you'll be hearing the same generic slavering Japanese bad guy voice a lot, and the subtitles range from passable to blatantly incorrect. Slowdown is not uncommon, despite there not being too much going on at any given point. Still, the main appeal of the game is butchering people with clever traps, and that's as satisfying as ever.
