About the Game

If you don't know who you are, how can you know who to trust?

Impostor Syndrom is a multiplayer social deduction game built on communication, psychology, and pure player interaction. The twist: at the start of every match, you don't even know your own role.

You have to figure out who the Impostor is — and who you are — from nothing but words and behavior.

Three Hidden Roles

Designed for 4–10 players. Every match secretly sorts you into one of three roles — and never tells you which:

  • Admin : keeps the game running and stays neutral.

  • Suspect : works to identify and eliminate the Impostor.

  • Impostor : blends in and avoids detection.

No one is told their role. You discover who you are through discussion and behavior.

How It Plays?

  • Each round, everyone receives a secret word — Suspects and Impostors get words that are similar, but slightly different.

  • Players take turns describing their word without saying it directly.

  • Clues must be subtle — too obvious and you expose yourself, too vague and you look guilty.

  • Read the room: work out whether you're a Suspect or an Impostor, spot who's different, and adapt with every clue.

Impostors must mimic the others while quietly gathering clues. Suspects must catch the inconsistencies and drag the truth into the light.

Winning Condition

  • Impostor win : when their number equals the number of Suspects.

  • Suspect win : when every Impostor is eliminated.

Features

  • Real-time voice chat (VOIP) — the game lives and dies on how you talk.

  • Peer-to-peer rooms — Host or Join instantly with a Room ID.

  • Flexible identity — pick a custom name every match.

  • Four playable characters with unique human-animal hybrid designs.

    Built for group play with friends.

Best experienced with friends or a pre-made group.
