Sinister Night 2

Sinister Night 2 is a social deduction horror game set in an ancient Chinese mansion. You play as a streamer taking part in what appears to be a conventional reality show, unaware that two members of the group have been possessed by the spirit of a bride from a ghost marriage. As a crimson nightmare begins and the ritual returns, you must find offerings to appease the restless spirits or expose the possessed before the wronged souls take revenge.

The mansion

The abandoned traditional Chinese mansion was the site of a tragic ghost marriage in which a family met its fate. A group of streamers enters the mansion and seems to be transported back to that night. Red lanterns hang in the halls, food remains warm, and the spirits of those who died in the tragedy still wander within the walls.

Investigate and deduce

Rather than assigning players traditional roles, as in Werewolf, the game leaves you to work out what is happening from the evidence available. Items, completed tasks, location information and votes all provide clues, and you must adapt your strategy to the situation. You also collect clues and identify the culprit as you try to survive.

Survive the ritual

When the Crimson Dream descends, the resentment-fueled ghost marriage ritual returns to the mortal realm. Possessed players transform into the bride, spreading terror and revenge as the group tries to avoid becoming the next victim. You can place Zhong Kui statues to ward off evil, inject adrenaline to escape faster, and use night vision goggles, crows, compasses and EMF detectors to uncover clues.
