Forest of Deceit is a Jackbox-esque social deduction game for 4 to 8 players. You are part of a group lost in a dark, treacherous forest that seems to go on forever and ever. You can’t find any escape, and there’s a storm brewing on the horizon - a storm so massive that you all will surely perish if you can’t build a solid shelter before it arrives. Every day you explore the forest to gather resources with which to build your shelter. But the forest itself is cursed, slowly driving people into a traitorous madness; it’s surely already got a hold on some of your friends’ minds… or maybe even yours. If you don’t figure out who’s sabotaging the efforts to build a shelter, you all are going to be swept away. On the other hand, if you happen to be the Traitor and they find you, you could get kicked out of the group - for good. From the minds of Ghost Camp and Thomas Mackinnon (creator of THE CORRIDOR and It Takes a War) comes Forest of Deceit, a back-stabbing experience about trying to survive a storm and betraying your friends. With a beautiful hand-drawn art style and a focus on casual play and social interaction, this party game is perfect for all kinds - from teenagers to grandpas, hardcore players to someone who’s never played a game in their life. Each day, gathering parties are assigned to go deep into the forest for resources. Innocents will try to gather useful resources whereas Traitors will try to hinder the group’s advances with bad resources and try to get other players lost in the accursed woods. When the results of the day’s gathering are revealed, the group can discuss what happened - and after a few days there will even be a daily vote to expel suspected Traitors from the group. If the Innocents can build the shelter in time, they win! If not… it’s a victory for treachery. Gather resources to build a shelter against the upcoming storm. If you are a Traitor, you will try to get other people lost in the forest, and hinder the group’s efforts by collecting bad resources. Discuss what happened, and eventually start voting suspect Traitors out. If the Traitors can prevent the Innocents building a shelter in time, they win. Create your own house rules: An endlessly replayable party game, with fully customisable game options. Use your own phones, tablets, or computers for each player to play right from their very own web browser. Easy-to-play social deduction game, with a simple gameplay loop: Focusing on casual play and social interaction, Forest of Deceit is fun for all kinds of players (from a family experience to group meetings; from non-gamers to hardcore players!) Fantastic for both local multiplayer and online play. Works great with screen-sharing for online play - we recommend Discord! ⠀ ⠀ NOTE: No generative AI was used in the making of this game or its associated assets.
