❤ Gameplay Overview

The game pits two teams against each other - Kira and their Follower, versus L and the Investigators. Each team has different objectives and must use strategy, deduction, and social manipulation to achieve victory.

❤ Roles and Objectives

As Kira, players possess the Death Note and can use it to eliminate opponents. Kira's objective is to take control of the "World Progression" meter and ultimately eliminate L. The Kira Follower assists Kira by gathering information, stealing ID cards, and carrying out killings on Kira's behalf. Their goal is to help Kira secure victory. As L, players can monitor security cameras, initiate group investigations, and gather information to identify and stop Kira. Investigators work together to question NPCs, collect evidence, and determine the identities of Kira and their Follower. Their goal is to fill the "World Progression" meter before Kira can.

❤ Deduction and Social Manipulation

Players must carefully observe each other's behaviors, use gathered information, and engage in heated discussions to deduce who among them is Kira or the Kira Follower. Bluffing, accusing, and shifting suspicion are all important tactics. The inclusion of voice chat further enhances the social element, allowing players to engage in real-time discussions and banter.

❤ Progression and Customization

As players progress, they can unlock new customization options for their in-game avatars, including accessories, nameplates, and special animations. These cosmetic features allow players to further express their creativity and personalize their experience.

❤ Challenges and Potential Improvements

The most commonly cited issue is the fact that the game ends immediately if any player disconnects, which can be frustrating and disruptive. Suggestions have been made to either replace disconnected players with AI-controlled characters or allow the game to continue with the remaining players. Additionally, some players have expressed a desire for more maps and gameplay modes to add variety and replayability to the experience.
