The unforgettable game that combines the classical game of Werewolf with hide-and-go-seek, Werewolf in the Dark!
The social deduction of Werewolf
Who among the villagers is the Werewolf?
During the daylight phase, vote to eliminate a player you suspect of killing others at night.
The childhood intensity of Hide-and-go-Seek
During the night phase, everyone hides in pitch black darkness
Only the Werewolf can double tap you, eliminating you.
A never-ending night only the dead can cure!
Don't get too cozy in your hiding spot, as a Werewolf can win in a single night.
You must venture out and find a body to end the terrifying night phase.
Dozens of roles with unique abilities
Many different monster types
Many different "villager" roles,
No need for a host, everyone plays
Elimination is only the beginning!
Eaten by a monster? Eliminated by vote? No worries.
Everyone comes back as one of many different types of "ghosts" to enhance the game.
