Our take on Devil's Bluff
Rather than following a solitary survival-horror structure, the game places the threat inside a social scavenger hunt. Its central tension comes from proximity-based conversations, shifting alliances, and one participant secretly hunting the rest.
What is Devil's Bluff?
Devil's Bluff is an online murder-mystery game set during a Halloween scavenger hunt at Crawley Mansion.
In each match, one participant is randomly selected as the disguised Devil, while the other players search the estate and attempt to complete the hunt before being eliminated. The mansion contains secret areas, hidden routes, interactive objects, traps, teleporters, and hiding places. Survivors can cooperate, form alliances, betray one another, or act alone while trying to identify the killer. Proximity-based audio limits conversations and other sounds to nearby players, making speech, footsteps, and household noises part of the investigation. Players can also work together to capture the Devil once the identity is uncovered.
