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 multiplayer murder mystery and social deduction game for 4–16 players, inspired by Werewolf and Town of Salem. Every match, you're dealt a secret role. Someone at the table wants you dead. Find them first—or make sure they never find you.

Every night, killers strike while other roles investigate, heal, or scheme in secret. When morning comes, everyone argues, accuses, lies, and votes to execute a suspect. Repeat until one faction claims victory.

Three factions compete for control of the game:

  • Civilians hunt down every killer before it's too late.

  • Impostors eliminate the town until they outnumber the Civilians.

  • Neutrals pursue their own unique win conditions.

The Impostors are the murderers. They recognize one another at night, coordinate in secret, and choose one player to eliminate. They win once they outnumber the Civilians and no other killers remain.

The Investigator is the town's eyes. Each night, investigate one player and discover their exact role. The hard part is what you do with the truth. Reveal it too soon, and you might become the killers' next target.

The Nurse heals one player each night. Guess right and the killers strike an empty bed. But she can't heal the same player two nights running—and nobody ever thanks you for the kill that didn't happen.

The Hunter doesn't go quietly. If they're murdered at night or lynched during the day, they get one final shot for revenge. Lynch carefully.

The Killer has no allies. They murder one player each night and win only by becoming the last person alive.

The Jester thrives on chaos. Their goal: get lynched. Act suspicious, make terrible arguments, and let the town do the rest. Once lynched, they unleash a live bomb that can be passed from player to player before exploding.

Morning brings accusations, desperate defenses, and a public vote. Read the room, bluff with confidence, and trust no one.
