The verdict
A unique hunt-or-be-hunted murder game, hilarious with a group of friends. Skip it if you can't gather friends: public servers are dead and bots are weak.
Great for
Groups of 4+ friends who want a funny, paranoid social deduction game and don't mind setting up a server
Main risk
Multiplayer servers are dead or broken, leaving only weak bots and a short singleplayer
