Night Phase - The Storyteller wakes players in a specific order. - Each role performs its ability — gathering clues, spreading chaos, or manipulating the town. 2. Day Phase - Players discuss, accuse, defend, and lie through their teeth. - The group nominates someone for execution based on suspicion, logic, or pure chaos. 3. Execution - The town votes. - The accused may be executed… or spared. - Even dead players still get a vote — no one is ever silenced. 4. Repeat Until Victory - The Demon tries to stay hidden. - The Town tries to uncover the truth. - Outsiders and Minions twist the game in unexpected ways.
