Our take on West Hunt
Randomized missions and clue locations add variation, but they also make planning less predictable. The role split limits each player to either covert objectives or investigation, rather than combining both responsibilities in one match role.
What is West Hunt?
This online social deduction game takes place in an Old West town and supports 1–8 players.
Outlaws receive randomly generated objectives, such as robbing the bank, poisoning the water, or tampering with the post board, while trying to avoid the sheriff. Side missions can lower notoriety and make blending in easier. Sheriffs investigate villagers, gather clues from mailboxes, and search for the outlaw; shooting a villager causes a loss. Available formats include 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, 1 vs bot, and custom matches. Voice chat supports communication between players. Sheriff skins can be customized, and the game includes a pet dog that barks when the sheriff aims. Winning and losing emotes are also available.
