    Before I even begin just to clarify my weird playtime I was one of the beta testers who won access to the beta in a raffle, across all 3 versions of the game the testers got over the course of testing I have about 260 hours and about 70% of that was testing random bs to see what would happen or trying to break out of the map/get to places we weren't meant to get to. I love this game. Each role does have differences that if you learn them changes how you behave with them and even with the same…

    I have read all of the negative comments and you should know that 90% of the negative comments are irrelevant right now. The game had a rocky start with some bugs but the devs clear them out pretty fast. If you are having second thoughts because of the negative comments, dont. If you liked among us, town of salem or feign, this is the game they wish to be. You should definitely try this game.

    Convinced a man to poison himself. Showed him how to make an antidote. He watches me stab someone. He blames someone else. He dies because I may have forgotten to tell him how to use the antidote. True friendship.

    This is the first time I actually write a review for a game because I want this one to gain the attention it deserves! I can already tell this game is a hidden gem. Compared to other "sus" games, it offers a surprisingly complex system with several roles all with active and passive abilities, item crafting, and even when you do eventually die you still get to impact the game as a ghost doing more than simply continuing questing. There are still some things which are a little rough (looking at…

    Great social deduction fantasy game. A great multiplayer game for weekend or evening sessions, especially with close friends you feel very familiar with. You can tell by all the details how much thought and love was put into the game by the devs. It brings a new and fantastical touch to the social deduction genre. The base game in itself is quite simple and easy to learn after a few rounds, but can get fairly complex when players learn to use their roles to the fullest. Also questing while…

    This game needs more time in the oven. There's no room host controls, can't kick players. Game allows you to overfill the room so you can't launch it. A lot of game breaking stuff for a game I want to play. Check back later when they've fixed some stuff.

    Aww. This game was gifted to me by a friend a while back (on sale), but when I went on just now, there was only one active server but I couldn't join because they started. Maybe I will try another time, it is a Thursday night. Can't really recommend and it's not fair to rate it bad without trying it but... if it's a dead game, it might as well be free. ;-; (can't complain since it was gifted but in case any of my friends wanted to buy this and see this review... though if anyone wants to play…

    Eville is fun but it desperately needs servers for proper matchmaking. Right now you can just be sitting in a lobby waiting ages for players to join. Or try joining public games just to get kicked out of. Also, having to hop into your backpack to use things instead of simply clicking on the thing you're trying to interact with (such as locking/unlocking your door) is super tedious and unnecessary. I'm still giving this game a thumbs up though as it does show the potential but right now it…

    Usually I refrain from making negative reviews, but this one deserves it. Originally the game was fun. Had a lot of people, but mostly from GamePass. This game is not gonna stay on Gamepass, so no new free players. Some may find it as a plus, but the game havent had many updates in ages. But anyway, a proper review: Pros: 3D Town of Salem with 3 factions, most roles have their use and likeness. Certain roles may feel useless. RPG like Quests (bring me this, fish me this, craft this).

    DONT BUY GAME. The game is average at best. Additionally, it is an extremely buggy game with a toxic community. I got tricked into doing a bug that crashes the game by another player and got banned for it permanently. You have to appeal ban through discord mods which are super toxic power hungry incels who do not care and are just ban crazy. DO NOT BUY THE GAME

Pros: You are still useful even after death. Great variety of settings. Minuses: The game is riddled with minor bugs that have not been fixed for years. The developers were bought out and the game was abandoned. Played by complete Russian-speaking enthusiasts like us. A couple of English speaking lobbies. If the…

I mean if you guys just made this game free across all platforms then i think you maybe will see a small revival but i don't think this will ever happen.

    Steam and xbox updates are staggered, to where steam players have the update faster. As of writing, it has been a whole day, and xbox still hasn't updated. This causes steam players to be unable to host for xbox players, as the xbox players will just crash on game start. Considering xbox makes up 99.9% of the playerbase because of gamepass, this is a huge oversight, basically ruining the possibilty of playing for steam users. Luckily I have both, (because you can't kick unless you have the…

    Multiplayer Game where the Multiplayyer doesnt work. While trying to join a lobby for almost half an hour, i only managed to join 2 lobbys. Just to get kicket out of the lobby 1 sec after. To summarize, i wasnt able to play the game for half an hour because the lobby system isnt working how it should be.

I had somebody put a spray on the ground and it launched me up to the air and I got stuck. When I started walking around in the air I fell and immediately died. I also got d/c'd while trying to do a fishing quest. But so far, that's the only issues I've had!

    If you liked Town Of Salem you'll love this. More interactive, I'm sure they'll add more roles and abilities down the road. Fairly balanced between bad and good citizens, and allowing to change night/day times and voting times is nice. A few bugs here and there, but not unplayable with them. I'm sure they'll update those.

    While its a fun concept and a good twist on the social deduction mafia style game, the mechanics to try and survive as civilians is pretty horrible. The bad guys have a huge advantage, it feels like an early access game who's roles haven't been completely fleshed out. This could be an issue of playing online with a bunch of randoms, playing with friends would be a completely different experience I'm sure. I love these styles of games, but they have to have a certain balance for each side to…

    The concept of the game is incredible, the art style is great, the gameplay however? I wouldn't know because there were only five servers, all with games running. Hosting a match didn't get me anywhere either. The fact that it is a paid game with microtransactions is annoying, but I'm willing to let it slide seeing as they are well priced and not ten dollars for a single cosmetic set, but this game absolutely should be free.

    Game is fun at the core, what ruins it is the current player base. Had too many games where you would have 4-5 people who were friends IRL and one of them is blatantly trolling, once you call them out on it you are now considered an a-hole and will be blocked from games and voted to die every time even if they KNOW you are not a conspirator. It also does not help that the mods and devs do absolutely nothing about this. Tried to join a lobby, and apparently, I can't join because ONE person out…

    Pick one monitization method. Not all of them. This is a pay game with DLC and a season pass. I would imagine there is more in there I didn't see as I just did the tutorial. If it is free to play I might check it out again, but I'm not paying for all that gated content.

    The game is a social deduction game that relies on multiple people to be playing in a singular lobby. There's no match making, so you have to manually join a lobby to play the game. All the lobbies are filled with people who kick you on the spot. I've been unable to play the game after queing up for longer then my patience allow, bad design.

The developers are hands-on with the community through their Discord, taking suggestions from the masses and working around the clock to flesh out the game.

The only thing I'd count against it is the lack of players which is a damn shame because this game is everything among us or other social deduction games wish they were. The different roles are all incredibly fun and engaging and creating your own strategy makes the game infinitely more entertaining. I also appreciate the different questing during the day instead of "tasks" in other games.

Here are the bugs my friend group and I encountered on our game night wherein we had 11 players: 1.

    Not worth it for PC gamers. Tutorial doesnt even explain a portion of the mechanics and of zero strategy. No one joins easy games so you cant learn without ruining the experience for others, best case scenario you get carried by your team, worst case scenario is you are outed for reasons you dont understand, or arent explained and you will not have the knowledge to defend yourself. Game is worth it for free but not for an up front price.
