Paper Pirates
A great social deduction game to play with friends or family. Lots of fun and easy to pick up no matter what age the players are. The artwork is a delight and it has a huge number of customisation options to make your pirate your own.
There are different game modes which allow you to vary the difficulty - scored games adding that extra challenge with secret objectives; is that player a ghost or are they just a bad human trying to max out their points? The daily voyage is a nice way to try out different modes and you can fill the boat with cute bots if you are playing solo. You can earn achievements to unlock cool hats for your pirates and the events change things up including the option of an audience mode for people who don’t want to play . The audience can vote to influence what events take place. It’s a nice touch that really does make this a very inclusive game. Iteration games has stepped things up a notch with the current Halloween event. Who wouldn’t want to play as a skeleton or pumpkin pirate! Highly recommended.

Iteration Games clearly understands the Social Deduction genre very well, and the result is Paper Pirates sidestepping a majority of the problems I find in other similar games.
Paper Pirates succeeds at both being a game that’s simple enough to convince your friends to pick up, yet has enough mechanical depth and just the right pinch of randomness to keep the suspense high all the way until the last treasure falls overboard, or everyone gets home.
Things like traditional mafia/werewolf’s follow the cop strategies, Town of Salem’s vulnerability to mass-claiming, and the rigidity of Secret Hitler’s mechanics in general lead to a highly-optimized “metagame” (a specific strategy that most players familiar with a game employ almost always due to how extremely effective it is) that doesn’t really appeal to everyone, and can be especially grating to newcomers. Not to mention how being voted out in all of the above means you’re forced into the role of spectator for the rest of the game, and the first person eliminated essentially doesn’t get to play at all. Paper Pirates solves this by instead demoting players voted out to the rank of stowaway; you cannot win as the stowaway, but all it takes to escape the dreaded barrel is for another player to go overboard and fill it in your stead. And believe me, plenty of pirates will be getting flung off this paper ship.

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.

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.

Guillotine
You’re in a tavern in the woods, but someone is a necromorph hungry for human meat. Guillotine the necromorph, or get eaten alive.
Guillotine is a multiplayer game of lying and deceit, with a pinch of survival.
It can be played with 4-18 players.
VOICE CHAT:
Proximity based voice chat. Sing at the piano, or scream for help when the necromorph is hunting you.
ROUNDS:
The game round has 3 phases:
Gather - Run around the forest, grabbing food and resources.
Discuss - The fog of death starts to rise up. Time to come back to the tavern, craft equipment and discuss.
Vote - Vote a player to get guillotined.
HUNGER:
Necromorphs have to kill people to satisfy their hunger.
Humans have to find food in the forest. Food growing plants are scattered in the forest, but most of them are located around the giant vines.
MATERIALS:
Materials can be collected around the map. They are used to craft items and upgrade equipment.
ZEPPELIN:
Humans can call a zeppelin by depositing the materials on its call table. Once all the required materials are there, the zeppelin will fly into the tavern’s tower and rescue whoever gets in it. If any player manages to escape alive, it is a human victory.

Do you love social deduction games like Mafia, Werewolf, The Resistance and Secret Hitler? We do too! But we noticed some shortcomings in the genre. They are sometimes hard to set up and inconvenient to play. Some games need too much room or a big table, some require a moderator with godlike precision, some require to close your eyes for minutes, and quite often the game is ruined because someone forgot to do their part correctly or a newbie player asked the wrong question and revealed their secret. We have built Republic of Jungle to address to these issues and distill the fun of social deduction games into a more enjoyable and convenient experience. Inspired by Jackbox Games, we have built a platform where players can use their smartphones (or any device with a browser) to play the game. This way, the game does all the moderation for you, guides the players throughout the game and adds a fun narrative on top. More importantly, we have unique mechanics specific to this platform because they are almost impossible to implement in a traditional tabletop setting.
