Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“ NECHTO is fully playable and has been tested with real groups of players. We want to gather feedback on balance, card
mechanics, and the overall experience before declaring a final release. Early Access lets us involve the community
in shaping the game. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for approximately 2–4 months, depending on community feedback and the scope of
improvements we make. ”

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

“We plan to add player movement animations, a timer for defense decisions to prevent the game from stalling, a
full-screen alert for the CHAIN REACTION card, improved panic card distribution, and custom fonts. We may also
explore sound support for player phones.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All core mechanics are implemented: 28-card deck, roles (The Thing/Human), 4–12 players, local network play via phone browser, procedural audio, Steam Deck support. The game is fully playable. Still in development: player movement animations, defense card timer, custom fonts, fullscreen alert for CHAIN_REACTION. ”

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

“We do not plan to raise the price after leaving Early Access.”

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

“We will actively read Steam reviews and discussions. Players can report bugs and suggest improvements directly in the
Steam community hub. Major decisions about new features will be shared as announcements.”

About This Game

Something got on board.

Nobody knows who's infected. Nobody trusts anyone. Every card exchange could be your last.

NECHTO is a local party game for 4–12 players in the spirit of Mafia and Among Us. One laptop on a shared screen,

players use their phones as controllers. No installs — just a browser and Wi-Fi.

---

How it works

One player launches the game on a laptop or TV. Everyone else joins from their phones via browser using a QR code or

IP address. No registration needed.

Every turn has three phases:

• DRAWS A CARD — take the top card from the deck. Drew a PANIC card? It plays immediately.

• PLAYS — play an action card or discard.

• EXCHANGES — mandatory. Pass a card to your neighbour. This is exactly how The Thing spreads infection.

---

Three types of cards

Actions — FLAMETHROWER, QUARANTINE, ANALYSIS, TEMPTATION, SHIP'S LOG and 9 more. Each one shifts the balance.

Defense — reaction to someone else's turn. NO THANKS, MISSED ME, FEAR, NO BARBECUE — play it before it's too late.

Panic — drawn instead of a regular card and plays immediately. Can't discard. Can't defend. CHAIN REACTION, OLD

ROPES, FORGETFULNESS — 12 cards of pure chaos.
