The social deduction game of strategic summoning and secret sabotage.
Set to release on Kickstarter in late 2025.
5-12 players
Ages 13+
30-45 minutes
Propose your Hunt.
You are tasked with assembling a Hunt to smite demons attacking your village. Each player has a secret role, Righteous or Evil, and the Evil players may betray you by releasing demons. Find your true allies by piecing together fragments of information, some of which may be false.
Beware the Demon Summoner.
One player is the Demon Summoner, the strategist of the Evil team. They play with their role face-up but still need to be deceptive about their actions. The Demon Summoner secretly chooses which demons appear on each Hunt, thus stacking the deck on behalf of the Evil team.
Find out who to trust.
Through careful summoning, the Demon Summoner can secretly force even a Righteous player to release their demon. Yet, an Evil player who releases a demon can falsely claim that they had no other option.
Surprise the Demon Summoner by invoking a Prophecy, which allows you to view the demon of another player. But be careful not to be too predictable — the Demon Summoner hears every word you say and can adapt to your plans.
Reveal hidden demons.
