About the Game

EXPOSED is a high-stakes, UI-driven evolution of the classic chat-based social deduction genre (like Town of Salem or Mafia). Set in a classified military setting, this is a game of espionage, encrypted communications, lethal deception, and covert operations played out on your tactical interface.

Will you protect the Command through logic and deduction, or will you burn it to the ground with lies?

A NEW ERA OF SOCIAL DEDUCTION: SKILL MEETS DECEIT

Forget just clicking a name on a screen and waiting for a result. In EXPOSED, your survival depends on your actual skills during the night phase. Every single role features a unique, UI-based Mini-Game.

  • Field Medic: Keep a dying ally alive through a tense rhythm-and-timing interface.

  • EOD Specialist: Solve the defusal puzzle and cut the right wires on your screen before the timer runs out.

  • Spy: Intercept and decrypt enemy text comms through active cipher-cracking mini-games.

  • Sniper: Steady your scope cursor, account for the UI weather conditions, and lock in your shot.

If you fail the interface puzzle, your ability fails. Your logic and silver tongue in the daytime chat will keep you from getting hanged, but your reflexes and puzzle-solving skills will keep you alive through the night.

INFILTRATE TOGETHER: THE 4-PLAYER CO-OP CELL

Tired of hoping you get to be the bad guys with your friends? EXPOSED introduces a groundbreaking feature for the genre: Form The Cell. Queue up with up to 3 of your friends to form a guaranteed, highly-coordinated 4-player Terrorist Cell. Infiltrate a 15-player lobby together, communicate secretly through a private encrypted chat window, coordinate your night actions, and dismantle the military from the inside.

HOW TO PLAY

15 players are deployed into a classified lobby and divided into three alignments: The Command (Military), The Cell (Terrorists), and Rogue Agents (Neutrals).

The Command (Military) You are the loyal soldiers. Your goal is to read the chat, find inconsistencies in players' stories, and vote out the Terrorists and hostile Rogue Agents. Use roles like Intel Officers, Sentries, and Forensic Examiners to gather clues from the UI and lead the military tribunal.

The Cell (Terrorists) You are the infiltrators. Working in the shadows, you must deceive the Command in the public chat and systematically assassinate them at night. The Leader, Gunman, Spy, Saboteur, and Torturer each bring lethal tools to ensure the Cell's victory.

Rogue Agents (Neutrals) You answer to no one. Roles like the Smuggler, Provocateur, and Lunatic have their own hidden, chaotic win conditions.

FEATURES

  • Dynamic Tactical UI Environments: Play across distinct visual themes including the freezing Winter outposts, scorching Desert bases, and neon-lit Cyber Circuits. Each theme features its own dynamic UI weather (Blizzards, Sandstorms) that visually alters your screen and the gameplay.

  • In-Depth Roster: Master a deep pool of highly specialized military and terrorist roles, ensuring no two lobbies are ever the same.

  • Immersive HUD: Experience the game through a sleek, diegetic tactical interface complete with EKG heart monitors, static noise transitions, and real-time radio statuses.

  • Player Customization: Earn Intel Points through successful operations and invest them into an expansive Tech Tree. Unlock exclusive information, operative patches, and deep dossier customization to flaunt your veteran status to every lobby you infiltrate.

Trust no one. Read between the lines. Expose the truth.
