Our take on Werewolves Within™
Its focus on social deduction makes conversation the central activity, but also ties the experience to a group of 5–8 players. That structure leaves little room for solo play or activities outside the rounds.
What is Werewolves Within™?
Set in the medieval village of Gallowston, this virtual reality game gives 5–8 players hidden roles after werewolves attack the townsfolk.
Players may become villagers attempting to cleanse the town or werewolves trying to deceive the group and survive the vote. Each role has specific abilities, while discussion and persuasion let participants assess claims, deduce allegiances, and choose how to vote. The game centers on repeated rounds in which players can take different sides and attempt to win through social deduction. Activation and installation require a Uplay account and the Uplay PC application.
