A bloody good time awaits those who dare to compete.

New Dynamic Social Deduction — Power matters in the end. Lambs must work together to scour the castle for resources and investigate clues from slayed players to deduce and hunt the killers. Meanwhile, Wolves must put on a convincing show to gain trust, all while covering their tracks and continuing their killing spree until there’s no one left.
Varied Gameplay Mechanics — To survive, devise and thrive, players must level up their gameplay by completing quests, looting chests for weapons and armor, stealing from fellow players, hiding evidence, bribing witnesses, setting up intricate traps, upgrading equipment and more.
Vibrant Cast of Characters — Players can choose from over 20 characters, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, abilities and unique backstories to find the one that best suits their playstyle.
