You know they said they would do something; you know you heard it. But they out and out deny it. It makes you start questioning your reality—maybe they never said that thing. And the more they do this, the more you question your reality and start accepting theirs.

But that is deceptive and deceitful as well, because gaslighting is a range of behaviors, a pattern. You don't have to engage in all the behaviors to be guilty of gaslighting.
