Our take on DEATH NOTE Killer Within
The central contest revolves around a Death Note hidden among the players, with each team trying to secure a different victory condition.
What is DEATH NOTE Killer Within?
DEATH NOTE Killer Within is a multiplayer identity-bluffing game for a maximum of 10 participants.
The match places players on one of two opposing sides: Kira and an ally, or L and a group of investigators. Each person conceals their role while working to expose the enemy faction. Kira’s team seeks to remove L, whereas the investigators aim to capture the Death Note hidden within the group. Roles provide different abilities, and randomly selected situations affect the tactics available in every round. Cross-platform play is supported.
Players can alter avatars using collectible items, nameplates, and animations. An internet connection and online play are required; offline mode is unavailable, and voice communication is recommended. The Special Edition contains the base game, Premium Customization Track Vol. 1, and an Accessory Pack.
