• 5-25 players
• 1 smartphone/computer each
• 30-60 minutes
• One player creates a game using the "new" button.
• All other players join using the 4-letter gamecode and the "join" button.
• Each player inputs a name and some clothing color info.
• On launch, each player will be given a secret special role. (2/3 good, 1/3 evil) (1/2 of the good and 1/2 of the evil get special abilities)
• Story: This is where the story takes place, including all narrative and interactive events.
• Notes: Players can type personal notes throughout the game to keep track of everything that happens.
• Chats: Certain roles, like killers and ghosts, are able to communicate in secret with others using this tab.
• day: Each day, players learn if anyone was murdered the night before, and they see what dreams they had. All living players can talk openly at this time.
• execution: Living players can accuse one another of being a murderer - this prompts a poll, and if a majority approve, the accused is put to death.
• night: At night, players "go to sleep" and are not allowed to speak out loud.
• murder: Killers can select any living player to be murdered - they must unanimously agree on a target.
• dream: Dead players come back as ghosts, who cannot talk, but can send "dreams" - clues about the killers based on their clothing colors.
• random: All other players must respond to a few random prompts before progressing - this ensures that player roles remain secret.
