Town of Salem

Project Winter

Gameplay comes before story

An 8-player social deception game set in a frozen wilderness where survivors gather resources and try to escape while hidden traitors sabotage them. The appeal comes from mistrust, teamwork and bluffing.

Blood on the Clocktower

Tactical depth

A social deduction game for 5 to 20 players in which the good team shares information to unmask a killer while the evil team lies and bluffs. A storyteller runs the game, and every role has unique abilities that drive tense logic and deception.
