StoreThe Demon set arrives!KeywordsExposed is a lot less frustrating now that you do not instantly die if accused, but all roles that expose now feel quite weak and have seen a lot less play since exposes rework.

- A Cult is forming.. - 1 August 2026
HavenRemoved one of the stalls in the market.Reduced the size of the market.Added a new wall, separating the market from the wooded area.Nerfed the sound of the waterfall.AnimationHugely upgraded the Animation system to allow for a disconnect of Character Rotation and Control Rotation. This is what "locks" your character to the direction that you are looking in, and this new disconnect opens up a lot of options for natural looking animations. This is a core part of the new Cult gamemode but will be used elsewhere as well (Stay tuned!).InteractionImplemented a new system that allows for interactable objects to check if they should highlight when looking at them. This is a core part of the new Cult gamemode but can be used else where in the future.Implemented a new system that allows for a user's interaction trace distance to be changed at runtime. This functions as a way to "extend your…

- Age of Darkness - 26 July 2026
The Dark SetRemoved RolesAngel - The Angel doesn't fit into the Dark theming and aesthetic of the Dark set, and her abilities were quite one dimensional.Bell Ringer - The bell ringer has gone on vacation - he will make a loud return at some point.Candlemaker - She tried to bring light to fight the darkness, but the darkness consumed her.Embalmer - The Embalmer has wandered into the forest in search of his purpose in life.Fisherman - The Fisherman has gone deep sea fishing to try make more money. It's tough in this economy.Hunter - The Hunter isn't hugely thematic, and has always struggled to find a home in the Dark set.Information Broker - GDPR cracked down and the Information Broker's dodgy data collection is no longer allowed.Outsider - The Outsider is now truly an outsider.Psychic - We already have a large host of Town investigation roles, and the Psychic has always felt like an outl…
- A New Standard - 19 July 2026
KeywordsGuaranteedis no longer considered manipulation.Hex (new)Hex is a complicated keyword that is going to add a bit of "fluff" to the game. It causes a player's abilities to fail (target is successful, they just have no effect), causes their passives to disable, and if they were to learn information because of their role the information will be wrong.Bleed, ignite and poison.Multiple instances of a damage over time keyword no longer stack, but different damage over time keywords do still stack.So a player can only ever be "bleeding", not "bleeding 3 times".But a player can be "bleeding, ignited and poisoned" all at the same time. (Yikes)ExposedExposed is now triggered by getting at least 1 vote during the Execution vote, instead of being accused in the accusation vote.TimersSlightly increased the length of the discussion phase to accommodate the shift toward social deduction instead…
- Rocking the Boat - 13 July 2026
Player CountI bet you thought you'd never see this change! Most social deduction games (especially ones with powerful abilities and voice chat) stick to a smaller player count for a lot of reasons. A 16 player lobby is too chaotic, and makes games last too long. I've always said that 12 is the best amount of players to play with, and now it's the standard!Werewolf player count changed from 16 to 12.Game EngineThis is a huge change behind the scenes, and has meant having to rebuild steam integration from scratch, so expect some bugs!Upgraded from Unreal Engine 5.3 to Unreal Engine 5.8Upgraded the render pipeline to render with increased clarity.HavenAdjusted to 12 houses.Slightly reduced the size of the main play area.Added ground clutter and plans to the main play area.Added more "stuff" to the market, making it feel slightly more lived in.Restricted access to the spin the bottle area t…
- Cleanup Crew - 30 June 2026
FumbledPlayer profile, character customization, and saved character sets save files are no longer encrypted. The encryption was to prevent people from manually editing save files to change their titles or customization to assets that they did not own.A new system that checks ownership of items when save files are loaded has been implemented as a replacement.An unfortunate side effect of this is that your current save files are now a fumbled mess. Your selected titles and profile colour will be reset when you open the game.I have made a temporary change to character customization and saved sets to read encrypted files but to then save them as unencrypted. Important: Please change your character in some way, and save a new set. This will fix and future-proof your save filesKeywordsAdded "Appear" as a keyword. Appear is used by quite a lot of roles already, it's now searchable and consiste…

- Cornerstone - 2 March 2026
Character CustomizationThe Character Customization system has been rebuilt utilizing data assets. Similar to the change made to Roles a few weeks ago this won't be immediatly obvious in-game. However, this is a huge and fundimental change to the way assets are stored, loaded and replicated by the game.TLDR: The previous system sucked and stored all character customization assets in memory at all times. The new system dynamically loads in models and materials as they are needed.KeywordsAll manipulations that affect abilities now only affect player targets. Previosly the rules were ambiguous about whether these manipulations affect passives. Now the rules clearly define that passives are NOT affected by manipulations.TitlesYou can now equip 2 titles.Changed "Newbie" title to "Fresh Meat".Added "Holy" title for owners of the Cleric Set.Added "Dead" title for owners of the Death Knight Set.…
