"now gather 'round and settle down for a story will unveil..."
if you've ever played Mafia or Werewolf with friends, the concept of this game will be familiar. It's another social deduction game along the same lines and derives much of its inspiration from them.
"Welcome come to our wonderful town, welcome come we are humble and proud!"
as with mafia and werewolf, each player is assigned one of a number of possible roles (and there are A LOT of possible roles that can be used in each game, including some groups to allow a bit of randomization), each of which has different abilities, strengths, and goals.
"Nothing bad ever happens in this town!"
For instance, town members just want to eliminate the "bad guys", which essentially means witches, Mafia, and most neutral killing roles
"but when the town goes to sleep, you can hear the sound of something devious, of something quite mysterious, lurking in the dark!"
Of course, not everyone is going to be on the "good guys" list, and while some neutral roles can still win with the town (for example, the executioner wins as soon as their target is lynched), Mafia, serial killers, werewolves, witches, and so forth cannot. Their goal is typically to kill or get killed anyone that stands in their way. (By the way, definitely recommend the Coven expansion! unfortunately I can't write a review on that DLC because I bought it through the in-game store)
"help, help, the lookout's house is in cinders. I told the guy to stop using Tinder..."
Every morning, after the bad guys have had a chance to do their dirty work and investigative roles have gotten their information, it's time to discuss to figure out who to Lynch! Remember though, social deduction games often involves copious amounts of deception, and humans tend to have, on average, about a 50% chance of recognizing a lie, even when they think they are better than that. Rely on provable facts, not your intuition!
"I saved the town, I saved the town! Wait, is anybody else around?"
and everyone dies! It's fun!
