Palace of Deceit is a video game written by Cliff Bleszinski in 1991 in his own company, Game Syndicate Productions, at the age of 16. The first edition, subtitled The Secret of Castle Lockemoer, was a text adventure for MS-DOS. On August 31, 1992, it was remade for Windows 3.x and subtitled The Dragon's Plight as a graphical point-and-click adventure game with an entirely new plot and graphics. Both games are played in a first-person perspective and have been released as freeware. Bleszinski's inspiration came from video games like Déjà Vu and Uninvited.
