How it feels

A fast-paced social deduction game where players are trapped in a castle, balancing alliance-building and manipulation in a tense, cartoonish setting.

What players say

Players say it is a free social deduction game that blends Town of Salem and Among Us mechanics, with a third faction and unique roles. Early maps were too large for the kill-to-catch balance, but developers reduced them. The main complaint is a small player base that makes finding lobbies difficult, leaving the game best enjoyed with friends.
