Mafia: Night Falls

Mafia: Night Falls is a multiplayer social deduction game for up to 16 players, set in a village where no one may be who they claim to be. Each player receives a secret role and works to survive or win as part of the Town, the Mafia, or another faction.

Roles and factions

The game has over 20 roles across the Town, Mafia and Neutral factions, each with its own powers, secrets and way to win. Town roles protect the innocent and hunt killers: the Doctor can revive the dead, the Jailor can imprison and execute a suspect, the Investigator reads houses, the Detective inspects corpses, and the Cameraman photographs evidence. The Mafia is a secret team whose members know one another; they can stalk with a knife, break down doors, frame the innocent, silence loud players and disguise their kills.

Other roles have their own agendas. The Werewolf is a lone predator that transforms after dark and hunts on its own terms. The Jester wins only by goading the town into voting them to the gallows.

Day and night

At night, players take secret actions while killers move through the village. Each morning, survivors gather to argue, accuse one another and publicly vote on someone to send to the gallows. You try to read the room, work out who is bluffing and persuade others of your own story.

Voice and role actions

Live voice chat lets you speak to nearby players, scheme privately with your Mafia or face a Jailor's interrogation. Role abilities play out in the world: the Doctor kneels over a body to revive someone, the Jailor straps a prisoner into the electric chair, and the Cameraman's photo appears on the town board at dawn. Mafia members can break through doors at night, while the Werewolf tears across the village. Actions can leave traces for others to find.

The village

The game takes place in a moonlit town of fog, flickering lamps and long shadows. You can own a house and learn the streets, while some roles can see more clearly at night than others.
