The Gnosia lie. Pretending to be human, they’ll get in close, trick and deceive, and then eliminate one victim at a time...

❤ The Unique Social Deduction Gameplay

The game blends elements of "Werewolf" and "Among Us" into a single-player visual novel format. In each "round", you and a cast of AI-controlled characters engage in discussions to identify the "Gnosia" - the impostor(s) hidden among the crew. During these discussions, you can choose from various dialogue options to accuse, defend, or collaborate with other characters. Your goal is to use the information gathered and your understanding of each character's personality to deduce who the Gnosia are and vote to have them placed in "cold sleep". Meanwhile, Gnosia players work to subtly manipulate the discussions and eliminate the human crew members.

❤ Unique Character Behaviors and Progression

What makes the social deduction gameplay compelling is the cast of unique characters. Each crew member has their own distinct personality, communication style, and strengths/weaknesses that you must learn to navigate. For example, some characters may be blunt and accusatory, while others are more subtle and deceptive. Understanding these behavioral patterns is crucial to your success. As you progress through the game's "loops", you can level up various stats like Intuition, Charm, and Logic. These stat increases allow your protagonist to become more skilled at reading people, making persuasive arguments, or even outright lying and manipulating the discussions. This progression system gives you a sense of growing power and mastery over the social deduction mechanics.

❤ Emergent Narrative and Randomization

The game features an overarching narrative that unfolds through the repeated loops. Each loop triggers new events and character interactions that slowly reveal more about the game's mysteries and the relationships between the crew members. This narrative is not strictly linear, but rather emerges organically from the randomized setup of each loop. The randomization of roles, crew member compositions, and event triggers means that no two loops are exactly the same. This encourages you to approach each round with a fresh perspective, adapting your strategies to the unique circumstances. It also contributes to the game's replayability, as you work to uncover all the narrative threads and unlock new abilities/options.
