Town of Salem is a game that challenges players on their ability to convincingly lie as well as detect when other players are lying. The game ranges from 7 to 15 players. These players are randomly divided into alignments – Town, Mafia, Serial Killers, Arsonists and Neutrals. If you are a Town member (the good guys) you must track down the Mafia and other villains before they kill you. The catch? You don’t know who is a Town member and who is a villain. If you are an evil role, such as a Serial Killer, you secretly murder town members in the veil of night and try to avoid getting caught.

Immersive multiplayer, simplicity.
Perhaps a little too simple in some areas and viral trolling.
Essentially it’s a co-operative tactical murder mystery where you are either a clueless majority or a semi-informed minority.
The game is balanced to allow either and all factions to stand a chance at winning the game, the winning requirements varying with each respective role you are assigned in the beginning.
As each game starts the player will learn his role and attempt to achieve success for his o her faction by manipulating, lying, truthing, pleading, trolling and otherwise bamboozling the other players. This makes for a very immersive experience that relies on your ability to think and lay down a strategy. An element of luck is always involved, as with any game but often what one layer sees as luck, another has carefully orchestrated to their advantage. Rather like real life.
The game is still very much in it’s developing stages, with a new patch announced for this month and further patches promised to add balancing elements to the game. It is free and, of course, they sell cosmetic content.
Conclusion: My summary can only be positive for such a simple and thrilling game. The worst part is normally trolling or game throwing players who need to be categorically excluded from more ‘serious’ matches. Which I hear is happening in the new patch.
I think it is only a matter of time before the more ‘opportunist’ indie developers copy the concept.
