Buy No Witnesses PC key

No Witnesses is a comedic multiplayer game for up to 16 players, with lobbies supporting 4, 8, 12 or 16. At least one player is a Killer, and the others must work out who it is and make sure they are caught. Reading the room matters as much as aiming, while chaotic effects can turn a tense standoff into a fight between soda-can-sized players.

Roles

As a Bystander, you try to survive without being blamed. Anyone can identify a corpse, but you need to prove who did it before someone accuses you. Search the environment for random gifts, cash or weapons, and decide whom to trust: even your closest allies may betray you.

In lobbies with four or more players, the Detective uses specialised skills and tools bought from the shop to help the Bystanders win. The Detective’s role is known to everyone, making them a target for Killers while Bystanders look to them for trustworthy accusations.

As a Killer, you act naturally, avoid suspicion and eliminate every non-Killer player. Witnesses can talk and bodies leave evidence, so specialised weapons and equipment from the shop must be used without being seen. You can also fall into traps set by other players.

Choices and chaos

Your decisions affect your reputation with friends over time: they learn who they can trust and who is quick to accuse. Poor choices can damage your reputation; if it falls too far, you meet your demise, potentially ending your winning streak.

Mystery gifts, phone-box killer contracts and other chaos events can introduce 22 different effects across the lobby. These include moon-gravity firefights, fights where everyone shrinks, giant heads, clown hats, bouncy legs, banana-slick floors, disco guns that make players dance, confetti guns that do nothing, reverse cards that pass bad luck to someone else, and a “floor is lava” event where you must jump to avoid the heat.

Phones and equipment

When a mysterious phone box rings, a Killer can answer to receive a timed contract with a reward for eliminating a specific mark. A player who is not the Killer can also pick up, but gets one warning not to be so curious.

Find cash around the map and spend it in the in-round shop on items such as decoys, disguises that make you look like another player, a defibrillator to revive a teammate, speakers to mislead opponents and a molotov to burn evidence. Weapons are placed in the world for you to find and pick up; if things go wrong, you can throw them somewhere no one will find them.

Maps and multiplayer

The game includes 16 maps, with Steam Workshop support for creating or playing community-made maps. You can play with friends or strangers in friends-only lobbies, use the server browser or play on dedicated servers. Proximity voice chat lets you hear other players scheme, panic and lie in real time, though one gag can mute you.

Customisation and extras

You can customise characters with different skin tones and wardrobe choices, and use emotes to taunt, cheer or dance, including on a defeated opponent. The game also has 51 Steam Achievements.
