Beguile

Beguile is an online command-based PvP game for 2–8 players, with no solo play. Players split into Villager and Werewolf teams and try to eliminate everyone on the opposing team through confessions. Each turn alternates between Day and Night, and every player chooses one action per turn.

Day and night turns

During the Day, players take actions to change affection and improve their chances of succeeding with a later confession. At Night, they attempt confessions to eliminate opponents. A successful confession eliminates its target; a failed confession eliminates the player who makes it. The match ends when one team has eliminated every player on the other.

Roles alternate each day: everyone is a Villager on Day 1, a Werewolf on Day 2, a Villager on Day 3, and so on. Teammates share the same role, while the opposing team has the other role.

Affection and types

Each player has a separate affection value for every opponent, from 1 to 4. Only the player who owns a value can see it. A value of 4 means love and 1 means dislike; higher affection increases the chance of a successful confession. Affection values start randomized and affect both the outcome when you are confessed to and your ability to confess successfully.

Each player is also randomly assigned a type: Passionate, Free-Spirited or Gentle. Teammates can see one another’s types. Types affect date outcomes and changes to affection.

Available actions

Day actions differ by role. Werewolves can choose a date matching Passionate, Free-Spirited or Gentle: matching your own type raises your affection toward the target by 1, while matching the target’s type raises their affection toward you by 1. Choosing the target’s disliked type lowers their affection toward you by 1. Werewolves can also use Longing to set their affection for a chosen target to the maximum value of 4.

Villagers can use Fortune-Telling to reveal a chosen target’s affection toward them to everyone. Only one Villager can do this each day: the first Villager to select an action during that daytime turn.

At Night, Werewolves can Confess to a chosen target if their own affection for that target is at least 3. The target’s affection toward the confessor determines the result: at 4, the target is eliminated; at 2 or 3, nothing happens; and at 1, the confessor is eliminated.

Villagers can use Tempt to ask a target whether they will confess to the Villager. If the target declines, nothing happens. If they agree, the confession happens regardless of the target’s affection toward the Villager. The outcome depends on the Villager’s affection for the target: at 3 or 4, the Villager is eliminated; at 2, nothing happens; and at 1, the target is eliminated.
