About the Game

Special Note for Streamers: To provide the best viewing experience for your audience, we recommend placing your camera in the bottom-middle of the screen. This ensures that no vital clues or chat interactions are hidden while you solve the mysteries together with your viewers!

Uncover the Darkest Secrets Together

FILENDS is a social deduction and riddle-solving game designed for 2 to 7 players. Step into a world where every level hides a tragic mystery. Is it a cold-blooded murder, a tragic suicide, or a freak accident? Perhaps it was just a natural passing—or maybe, just maybe, no one died at all. Your goal? To piece together the truth behind these grim events using nothing but your wits and your team's cooperation.

How to Play:

  • The Filebox: The Drawer (Narrator) clicks on the filebox to reveal a public hint to all players.

  • The Secret Truth: The Drawer secretly reads the full story, becoming the only one who knows the dark truth.

  • Interrogation: Other players ask questions to narrow down the facts and solve the enigma.

  • Yes or No: The Drawer can only respond with "Yes" or "No," or by highlighting the questions in the chat as Green (Yes) or Red (No).

  • The Verdict: Collaborate with your team to solve the mystery before the silence takes over.

Key Features:

  • 30 Unique Mysteries: Explore 30 different puzzles, each featuring a unique story waiting to be solved.

  • The Master of Riddles: Take turns being the Drawer and guiding your friends through the darkness.

  • Atmospheric Storytelling: Experience a dark atmosphere where every clue matters, but the truth is never as simple as it seems.

Pro Tip for the Best Experience:

While the game features an in-game chat, we highly recommend using a voice chat application (like Discord) with your friends for the most immersive experience.
