About This Game

Everything is held together by thin strings of coordination and vigilance… until someone starts pulling their own.

Pulled Strings is a game that blends social deduction with survival elements.
It's not just about uncovering the traitor — it's about mastering coordination and acting with purpose.
No one is truly safe, for no one welcomes the coming of darkness — not the Marionettes, not the Killer. Only the Werewolf longs for that...

In every session, players must negotiate and assign roles — and be ready to reshape their duties on the fly.
Danger lurks around every corner, and adaptation is your only lifeline.

⭐ Social deduction meets tense survival

If the Marionettes don’t work together — everyone loses

⭐ A new take on the traitor dynamic:

The Maniac must think twice before every kill.
Sometimes, survival means helping the Marionettes — whether to avoid starving or to keep from becoming the Werewolf’s next prey...

⭐ A genre reimagined

A Victorian mansion, Norse mythology, and eerie marionettes… cooking okroshka.
Can dolls even feel hunger?

⭐ A Marionette that changes everything

Every player is a vital link in the survival chain, shaping the match as it unfolds.
You won’t get far just warming yourself by the fireplace.

⭐ Shape your own rhythm

With dozens of settings to tweak, you can shift the pace of the game entirely — and make it truly yours.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Our small indie team has responsibly used generative AI tools to accelerate our development while maintaining full creative control.

We used MidJourney to generate base visual assets, which were then carefully edited, customized, and rendered by our artists to match the game’s artistic direction. These AI-generated elements are part of the final visual content, but were not used “as-is” and underwent human refinement.

For localization, we used AI-based tools to assist with proofreading and translation consistency, ensuring clearer communication across languages.

No AI systems are used during gameplay or in real-time content generation. All interactive and gameplay logic was developed by our team.

We fully comply with Steam’s policies regarding AI use, and all assets were created and integrated within the scope of ethical and legal use.

Transparency and player trust are at the heart of our approach.
