What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our game is playable but needs a community to test balance and provide feedback. Early Access lets us improve the game with your help while building our player base.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect 4-8 months in Early Access, depending on community feedback and development needs.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version may include additional maps, new roles, and optional DLC, depending on player interest and community engagement. We're focusing on refining the current gameplay and will explore expanding the game further based on feedback and overall reception during Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable with all six roles, functional multiplayer, lobby system, and complete day/night gameplay. It's stable but will be polished throughout Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game is free to play. We may add optional paid content later if player base grows.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We'll gather feedback through Discord, in-game surveys, and beta testing. Players will directly influence our development priorities and game balance.”

About This Game

Impostor Online is a murder mystery and social deduction game inspired by classics like Werewolf and Town of Salem. In each match, players are assigned random roles across four competing factions: Civilians, Impostors, Zombies, and Neutrals. Civilians win by eliminating every killer at the table. Impostors win when no other threats remain and they outnumber the Civilians. Zombies win if they're the last faction standing. Neutrals chase their own private victories.

Impostors are the main murderers. Each night they see one another, plot together, and pick a single player to eliminate.

Investigators are the Civilians' eyes in the dark. Each night they choose one player to investigate, revealing that player's role and steering the team's suspicion.

Jester is a Neutral troublemaker. Their goal: get voted out during the day and win on the spot.

Nurse injects one player each night. The right injection saves a target from the Impostors; a second non-consecutive injection on the same player kills them. A single dose is enough to put down a Zombie.

Zombies infect one player each night to convert them. But Zombies can't see one another — bite the wrong target and your fellow Zombie dies.

When morning comes, every survivor gathers to debate, accuse, and vote. One player is lynched. Lie well, read the room, and trust no one.
