‘Deducto,’ is a hidden role game that’s all about betraying your friends and mastering the art of deception!
It bears significant similarities to games such as ‘Among Us,’ and ‘Trouble In Terrorist Town,’ but it is presented in a unique way that adds a fresh twist to the genre!
‘Deducto’ can be played online with 6 to 10 different players. The more the merrier! Collect your friends, if you have any… and get ready for a rollercoaster ride of lies, lies, and more lies! Some of the players will be assigned the role of ‘Murderer.’ Others will be civilians with unique roles to play.
As a murderer, your task is simple! Murder all the civilians, and make sure they all think that their fellow civilians are the murderers. Nothing like a little bit of dividing if you’re in a conquering mood…
Of course, things need to be kept interesting, so you’ll have a bunch of different weapons to choose from to do your murdering with. Maybe a gun? Or how about a monkey wrench? That’ll give you an arm workout while you’re at it…
As a civilian, things get slightly trickier! You need to figure out who the murderers are and vote them out of the game before you end up at the bottom of the nearest canal.
As a civilian, you will also need to complete a unique set of tasks based on your role. Failing to complete tasks means more points for the murderers, and what kind of upstanding citizen would want that?
Another fun feature you shouldn’t forget to use and abuse is the game’s built-in proximity voice chat. It’s a great way to give your buddies a spine-chilling jump scare as you pop around a dark corner yelling bloody murder!
‘Deducto,’ is developed by ‘Red Fox Studios,’ and was released on Steam in 2022.
