Eville
Betray your friends- and lie your way to victory. In the multiplayer social deduction game Eville you find yourself in a village riddled by a series of murders. Some say it might have been you - or was it? Convince others you’re not a murderer to stay alive!
Inspired by popular social-deduction party games such as Werewolves this is a new take on the concept with realtime gameplay and interaction. Take on the role of a Villager or Conspirator and do your deeds when no one is watching. Place wards to observe other players or tread through the village to visit any house and go on a killing spree. It is your task to communicate with other players and prove your innocence. Use your unique role abilities to your advantage and make sure your team survives.
Devious murders are taking place in the once peaceful village of Eville. Each day the Villagers can decide on suspects and execute them until all evil-doers are found. Each night however the Conspirators gather and decide to murder another innocent Villager until they take over the village. You play as a random role and have no idea who is on your side. Use your abilities and social skills to find out!
Objective: Stay alive and discover the conspirators!

Win by executing all conspirators

-
Get rid of Villagers by sneaking into their home at night and murdering them, or trick Villagers with your deceptive skills
-
Wake up at night, steal and deceive the sleeping villagers

Put evil curses upon the village, securing your win
-
Buy trade goods on the black market, giving you unique items such as boots to protect you from traps
-
Use the underground to traverse through Eville in secret

Rich discord integration (coming soon)
We take the community’s input very seriously. Listening to the feature requests and feedback from our fans is important to us, that’s why fans can have a direct line to us, via our discord community channel; where they’ll be able to discuss the development of Eville with us. Quite often game developers suffer from tunnel-vision, and we’re no exception. Having a springboard to bounce ideas back and forth with, can be quite refreshing. At the end of the day, our goal is to create a fun experience, and having the community’s direct feedback is essential to this process.

Killer: Infected One of Us
I think this game is too incomplete for it to be released. There is a lot of bugs and things missing. I understand why the release happened, to get content on what needs to be added and such. But there is simple things that this game should have stayed in beta testing. Not only do I see many problems, it is also is a pay to play when in 25 minutes of “playing” I cant even stay in a lobby with friends, nor can I actually stay in a game. I do not know why this game was created based off Among Us and yet there are simple things needed that would just make 10x times better release if they did at least one more month of testing and fixing and adding in little details for friends to actually stick together. I am not saying its a bad game, I just think it should have stayed in the incubator just a little longer.

Hi, I’m a streamer producing content in Turkey. At the same time, I want to produce content related to this game on my Youtube channel called “Barding Games”. I shot my first video with a team of 6 people and we didn’t have any problems. The scenes, tasks, locations are very creative and beautiful, but when it comes to playing with 12 people, some of us entered the game invisible at the beginning of the game and we could only see them with tiny pixels. No matter what we did, we couldn’t solve the problem. (we closed and opened the game, restarted steam, etc.) Another issue, the difficulty of the missions is too much to be discussed. If you insist on playing the game, you solve the tasks after 6-7 games. However, people who are new to the game and trying to observe never understand the tasks and have difficulty continuing the game. The tasks that we spent minutes to do are endless. Even when the infected person is sluggish, we find it difficult to complete tasks. instant monitored streamer of 3000-4000 in Turkey, I saw they were trying to play in twitch.tv; While watching their past broadcasts, I realized that they could not be patient with the second game. Although the game has great potential, it needs immediate change. Please hear our voices and improve the game. We want to play this game.

Escape Mind
edit: a couple more patches got rid of most technical problems, so I removed them from the review.
a short and simple point & click where your goal is to escape from a house you end up in after chasing a rabbit around. fortunately, there’s no time limit or fail states and you can save anywhere. some light puzzling and a few arcadey parts, but revisiting locations over and over is a must, as new things keep appearing. moving around is fast enough though, so it’s not an issue.

As an addict of puzzle/escape games I was excited to find this game. It took me 1hr 15m to complete, but was pretty fun! Great value at $0.99. Also I thought the art style was cool. Hope there’s a sequel!

Wolflord - Werewolf Online
Wolflord has taken up my time as the only social deduction based game that I play to this day.
I started out in this genre making content on other SD games for a long time, and although I put a lot of hours into those games and wanted to enjoy them, various things would continuously turn me away. I can say that Wolflord has never been that way for me.
The game itself has a slightly different format to your more popular SD games, where “copy paste last will’s” is what the game revolves around. However, this game focuses more on actual deduction rather than simply reading out a players' will and determining whether that information is correct based on shared knowledge. Every phase of the game feels important, and compliments the day/night cycle as a whole very well. Roles are very well thought out, and while some are favoured over others, I can say that I never truly feel like I ever get cast as a “useless” or “boring” role with this game.

Keep in mind this game is still in beta at the time I am writing this, so it is still early and the community is niche, but their Discord is active and a good way to gather games if you’re looking for more games without having to add so many bots. I’m sure as time goes on after getting out of beta, Town of Salem and Throne of Lies players may migrate over here. The game itself is very interesting, you can set your own role list based on the class cards/rules cards so the possibilities are endless, AND it even indicates how balanced between factions the setup is, which you don’t exactly see in Town of Salem custom lobbies. But yes, I do see potential in this game and intend to add it to my social deduction streaming repertoire and look forward to helping build the community. Very much recommended.

Dread Hunger
PROS:
Addictive
Great unique art style
Polished mechanics despite being in early access
Immersive level design
Kind and caring community (great for making new friends)
Developers listen to the community
Every match is different from the last
CONS:
Limited tools to deal with trolls and grifers creating scenarios where people will rejoin after being kicked (occasional griefer/troll)
Deception tools are very easy to counter when with an experienced crew making it a choir to play as a thrall encouraging a PvP style of play

I do wish there was a yes and no option to recommend. If you have 7 other friends with you then yeah I would recommend this to you. If not then enter at you’re own risk of some pretty toxic people. Meta gaming. ect. Not all the time but a good majority. You may say well just kick them but they can keep joining back. there is no ban option and the few good group of people out here had to make a list of griefers and toxic people to avoid and kick because the devs have not given us the tools to do so in lobby and all. I say once you get kick it should be you can not join back that lobby. There is not much good communication between the community and the devs since they mainly care about the few streamers who play there game. Which I see from a company money making point of view can be good. Keep the streamers happy and into the game to keep streaming there game and possibly get more buyers. But it sucks for the rest of us who have to put up with all the glitches still in the game and getting bad responses from the devs. They balance the game around potential griefers instead of outright dealing with the griefers/ giving hosts the tools to deal with them. Wile focusing on other thing’s instead of this big issue the game is currently having. Anyone will hate having thrall and to have some Meta gaming people ruin that by giving info from the game through discord instead of through the game like it should be. I’m danm well sure I have had this happen with Streamers and I have had other say they had this issue as well and problems with some streamers on here doing these kind of thing. Having very little ways to combat this ourselfs as players even if we have video proof nothing get’s done about it and that’s why I can’t support this game till this issue is resolved which I really hate. I really enjoyed playing this game and still do when it’s friends.

Jin Conception
So far i like it.
– Real player with 19.2 hrs in game
I’ve wiped my old review clean and am going to be much more concise in this one - having played both the Steam and Switch versions of the game now, I can firmly say that if you plan to play this game at all, the Switch version is the way to go - though I would skip out on both. It has less RNG bullshit in it and the controls simply make more sense and it has overall less bugs, however…
Upon a second playthrough of Jin Conception (once on Steam, once on Switch), I can confidently say that… while there is some good here, the cons just definitely outweigh the bad. Even knowing the answers of who is friend and foe, there is virtually no way in the game to actually deduce this naturally. I had the benefit of speaking with the developer during my playthrough and was able to speak with him afterwards to try and clear up some misconceptions and unfortunately the conversation only proved to clarify what I feared: the story is in fact incomplete, with much of it simply not in the game.

Bitten! Someone has to be a villain
Had a lot of fun backstabbing my friends! :)
– Real player with 15.3 hrs in game
Played Among Us for a long time, but this game is really something fresh!
All players look like you, but some of them may transform into a Zombie and kill everybody else! You have to cooperate to eliminate this Bitten player.
Absolutely love special powers (like fireball or scanner to check who is the traitor).
IT IS ALSO FUN TO PLAY AFTER DEATH! You become a zombie and can recruit other zombies to coordinate your attacks!
Can’t wait for more modes!
10/10 for listening to users
8/10 for gameplay.
