Source facts
What is each hidden role trying to achieve?
The outlaw wants to eliminate the sheriff. The cowboys try to identify and eliminate the outlaw. The sheriff's role is also secret, so open discussion can reveal information to either side.
The outlaw loads a revolver at night. Players choose targets during daytime discussion, and everyone still alive fires together at the end. Only loaded revolvers can eliminate someone.
The game supports four to twelve players online. Customize roles, discussion timers, or whether roles are revealed on death to fit how much hidden information your group wants.
What happens to players after they are eliminated?
Once you are eliminated from the match, you remain at the table as a ghost. This allows you to continue watching the ongoing game and chat with other eliminated players until the round concludes.
One player must create the game lobby first. Once created, other participants can join the session by using the specific code generated for that lobby. Ensure you have at least four human players to begin.
Yes, you can choose to include NPCs in your matches. These characters, such as the optional pianist or bartender, are drawn into the debate against their will and can be targeted by players during the day.
