About the Game

Mafia is a tense, 10-player psychological thriller of social deduction and strategy. In this digital adaptation of the classic parlor game (also known as Werewolf), you are randomly assigned to a secret role. Trust no one, question everyone, and remember: your closest ally might be the one holding the knife. 

  • THE CITY TEAM (7 Players): The backbone of society. Your goal is to root out the criminals before they take over completely.

    • 6 Citizens: Use logic, observe player behavior, and debate fiercely during the day to vote out suspects.

    • 1 Sheriff: The City's secret weapon. Each night, investigate one player to discover their true allegiance. Guide your fellow citizens without painting a target on your own back.

  • THE MAFIA TEAM (3 Players): The shadows in the night. Your goal is to outnumber the citizens through deception and stealth.

    • 2 Regular Mafia: Coordinate with your team under the cover of darkness to eliminate a player every night.

    • 1 Don: The mastermind. The Don searches for the Sheriff each night to eliminate the biggest threat to the family.

Key Features:

  • Single-Player Mode: Sharpens your skills anytime in a full 10-player match against 9 sophisticated NPCs designed to bluff, accuse, and deduce.

  • ⚡Online Multiplayer Coming Soon: We are actively working on a robust online matchmaking and lobby system! Soon, you'll be able to queue up with friends or face off against players worldwide in the ultimate digital battle of wits.

  • Day & Night Cycles: Plot in silence during the Night phase, then argue, bluff, and accuse during the high-stakes Day voting phase.

  • Pure Psychological Warfare: No complicated filler roles—just pure, unadulterated deduction. Use logic to save the city, or manipulation to destroy it.

  • No Two Games Alike: With randomized roles and human psychology at play, every match spins a completely unique strategy.
