Our take on Strange Town
The social-deduction structure trades away a purely cooperative adventure: players must divide attention between clearing camps, gathering keys, watching for suspicious behavior, and surviving the spreading gas. Its two-stage map also channels play toward an eventual escape rather than open-ended exploration.
What is Strange Town?
Strange Town is a multiplayer survival role-playing game for 3–8 players.
During discussion phases, players try to identify the hidden Werewolf, while anger phases focus on surviving the threat. One or two players may become Werewolves, sabotage the group’s escape, or transform after consuming enough meat. Players explore a deteriorating magical world covered by toxic gas clouds, search randomly appearing chests for special items, and clear skeleton camps for mission objects or enhanced equipment. The map has two stages: the opening area contains skeleton camps and key pieces, while the second area contains Exit Points. Innocent players must reach those exits to leave the world.
