Social Deduction / Mild Horror / Peril
Cymera Festival is in full swing, but something odd is happening in the games hall. A cry goes out. A storyteller is dead and it can only mean one thing. A demon walks among you. It’s down to a plucky band of attendees to hunt the demon. Will good triumph or will impish evil succeed?
Blood on the Clocktower is a social deduction game from The Pandemonium Institute. Players are opposing teams of Good and Evil, overseen by a Storyteller. The goal of the game is to successfully deduce and execute the demons before they outnumber the townsfolk. Each player receives a token with their unique character. Good players share information to solve the mystery of who has the demon token, while evil players lie about who they are and what they know. Good wins if they can find and execute the demon during the ‘day’ phase. Evil wins by killing players in the ‘night’ phase, sowing distrust and evading detection until the final two players.
Games will be beginner friendly running the Trouble Brewing introductory script. Up to 15 players. All players will need to make a free account on botc.app, and have a microphone. Cameras will be optional. The session ID will be posted on the Cymera Festival Discord Games channel 30 mins before scheduled game play when the lobby will open.
