Our take on Lycans
The defining structure is its day-and-night cycle: players investigate and vote during the day, then hide from werewolf attacks after night falls.
What is Lycans?
Lycans is a multiplayer game for groups of up to 12 players, with at least 5 recommended.
During the day, players investigate the island, search for resources, and look for werewolves hiding among the villagers. Each morning ends with a vote to remove a suspected werewolf. At night, players hide from attacks and try to survive. The villagers must gather enough resources to win before everyone is killed. Player interaction is central, and proximity voice chat is required for play.
