Play it if you…
Good fit- Social-deduction groups who want real-time movement alongside discussion and voting
- Players who enjoy alternating between investigation, deception, and secret nighttime actions
- Multiplayer role-play fans who want changing abilities and team identities each session
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a fixed campaign or a stable protagonist may find the randomly assigned roles and session-based structure limiting
- Those who prefer direct combat over discussion, deception, voting, and investigation may find the pacing indirect
- Solo players looking for a single-player experience are not the intended audience
Our take on Eville
The defining structure is the day-night split: Villagers investigate and vote in daylight, while Conspirators coordinate murders after dark, with each player receiving a random role at the start of a session.
What is Eville?
Eville is a multiplayer social-deduction game set in a village facing a series of murders.
Each session assigns players random roles on either the Villager or Conspirator side. During the day, Villagers call meetings, discuss suspects, vote, and execute them; at night, Conspirators coordinate murders and use secret routes or deception. Players can visit homes, trade with vendors, brew potions, place wards, set traps, investigate deaths, and use role-specific abilities. Proximity-based voice and text chat supports player interaction. Dead players become ghosts with abilities that can affect those still alive. Custom rules, adjustable session sizes, player customization, and automatically balanced role distribution are included.
