A small, social deduction party game that’s had a, let’s say, outsized cultural impact. Not my favourite in this genre (Secret Hitler my beloved), nor with the most depth, but its simplicity is deliberate, meaning its quick to get people roped in and playing along in a big VC/Discord call.

Why this game caught on in the way it did, I really have no idea, but the game itself is competent enough - and pretty much any decent multiplayer game can be spun into hours of gold with a good bunch of friends.
