Hey Townies,

Trick or Treat?

Trick!

You have stepped into a world where no one can be trusted, and friends become enemies. Open your doors to see a member of the Town dead, killed by one of your own. Who could it be? That's your job to find out. . . unless you did it yourself!

Town of Salem is an RPG where you can be assigned evil roles such as Werewolves, Witches, Serial Killers and more, or the role of a Town member such as the Sheriff, or Jailor. With over 30 roles in the game, expanding to close to 50 with the Coven expansion, there are countless roles and combinations to keep every game fresh.

After joining a lobby and being assigned your role, the game will start and darkness will descend upon the Town, bringing with it the horrors of the night. The evil roles will use their special abilities to kill or confuse the Town, and the Town must use their own special abilities to discover who is good and who is evil.

Treat you say?

Then we have a treat for all of you! Today we are officially releasing the Unity update to Steam! We hope you will enjoy the fresh new look and the tons of new features we have in store for you. We can't wait to see what you think! Town of Salem has been completely rebuilt in the Unity game engine, allowing the game to move forward as Flash is sent to the gallows. This is the next step in our strategy to port all of our platforms (mobile, Steam, and web) onto a common code base built on Unity. With this release, both Steam and mobile are now on the Unity code base. All that is left is to port to web! We appreciate all the help with testing, and all the feedback you all have given us. We will continue to look for ways to improve the client, and we look forward to the bright future ahead of us.

Be sure to check out the featured items and the shop to get just the right costume to wear, and pets to follow you during all of your Halloween games! Be it a wicked witch, a ghastly ghost, or a vile vampire!
