Impostor Syndrom

Impostor Syndrom is a social deduction game for 4–10 players, built around communication and reading other players. At the start of each match, you are not told which of the three hidden roles you have. You must work out both your own role and who the Impostor is from what players say and do.

Hidden roles

Each match assigns players as Admins, Suspects or Impostors, without revealing their roles. Admins keep the game running and stay neutral. Suspects try to identify and eliminate the Impostor, while Impostors blend in and avoid detection.

Describe your word

Each round, every player receives a secret word. Suspects and Impostors receive similar but slightly different words, then take turns describing their word without saying it directly. You need to give clues that are subtle enough to avoid exposing yourself, but not so vague that you look guilty. As clues emerge, you try to figure out whether you are a Suspect or Impostor, spot who has a different word and adapt your approach. Impostors mimic the others while gathering clues; Suspects look for inconsistencies.

Winning the match

Impostors win when their number equals the number of Suspects. Suspects win when every Impostor has been eliminated.

Multiplayer features

The game includes real-time voice chat and peer-to-peer rooms that players can host or join using a Room ID. You can choose a custom name for each match, and play as one of four characters with human-animal hybrid designs. It is designed for group play with friends or a premade group.
