An online social deduction game in the vein of Werewolf: as a townsperson, mafioso or lone killer, you lie, accuse and vote through day-and-night rounds to eliminate your enemies. The appeal lies in bluffing, varied roles and persuasion.

Galcon Fusion

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun

Interloper

Competing against other players

Interloper is a fast online real-time strategy game where matches last about five minutes and you win by claiming territory rather than destroying your rival. Predicting and cornering your opponent's moves gives it a focused, stripped-down feel.

Offworld Trading Company

Competing against other players

A real-time strategy game set on Mars where market manipulation, hostile stock buyouts and sabotage replace armies. You win by reading the economy sharply and driving rivals out of business.

Blood on the Clocktower

Competing against other players

A social deduction game for 5 to 20 players in which the good team shares information to unmask a killer while the evil team lies and bluffs. A storyteller runs the game, and every role has unique abilities that drive tense logic and deception.
