Each session assigns you a hidden role as either a Villager or a Conspirator, and you don’t know who is on your side. Villagers try to identify and execute the Conspirators; Conspirators aim to kill the Villagers and take over the village. Move around the village in real time to visit homes, investigate deaths, use items, and talk with other players. During the day, Villagers can call meetings, discuss suspects, and vote to execute someone. At night, Conspirators choose a victim while players carry out their roles’ deeds. Roles offer different abilities, such as observing players with wards, tracking footsteps, setting traps, or speaking with the dead. Players can also trade for protective or investigative items, use potions, and, after death, become ghosts who can influence the living. Sessions can use custom rules, and characters have cosmetic customization.
In a murder-plagued village, take a hidden role, investigate by day, and deceive or eliminate rivals after dark.
Betray your friends- and lie your way to victory. Inspired by popular multiplayer social-deduction party games such as Werewolves and Among Us, this is a new take on the concept with realtime gameplay and interaction.
