Comparison
If you played Town of Salem
Town of Salem is the biggest name in the category and where a lot of people first met the genre. This is what is different here.
What Town of Salem did well
Scale, a huge role roster and years of accumulated community. It is a full product with a long history, and its role list is far larger than this one.
What is different here
It is played by voice rather than by typing, which changes the game completely — bluffing out loud is a different skill from bluffing in a chat box. It runs in a browser with nothing to install, tables are five to twelve rather than fifteen, and there is no account to manage before you play.
Which you want
If you like the text-chat format and the deep role list, stay where you are. If the part you actually enjoy is arguing with people out loud, this is built for that.
What you get here
- Free, in the browser, with nothing to install.
- Voice built into the game — no separate call to organise.
- Five to twelve players, with a balanced setup at every size.
- No moderator, because the server runs the night.
- Game nights if you do not have a group.
