Town of Salem

Town of Salem is a social deduction game built on the foundations laid by classic party games like Mafia and Werewolf, then extended into a much deeper system. 7 to 15 players join a match and are randomly assigned roles from five alignments: Town (the good guys), Mafia, Serial Killers, Arsonists and Neutrals. The Town doesn't know who's evil. The evil players don't necessarily know all their allies either. The game is murder, accusations, deceit and mob hysteria, run through chat and structured voting.

The game has 33 unique roles, with the host of each lobby choosing which roles will be available in the match. The role roster ensures genuinely different experiences across plays — a Sheriff investigating people for suspicion plays very differently from an Investigator, a Doctor, a Vigilante, a Veteran. Players have an in-game role card explaining their abilities and alignments, and the strategic question of which role to claim when accused is as important as which actions to take at night.

The match phases run on a fixed loop. Night phases let most roles use their abilities — Serial Killers murder, Doctors heal, Sheriffs interrogate. Day phases let the Town discuss who they suspect, with a majority vote putting someone on trial. Defense phases let the accused plead their innocence. Judgement phases let the rest of the Town vote guilty, innocent or abstain — more guilty than innocent and the defendant hangs. Customization extends across 10 maps, 29 characters, 20 pets, 5 death animations and 20 houses, with over 220 achievements unlocking various in-game items as you play.
