Description
About This Game
It Was You is a first-person multiplayer murder mystery party for 5-12 players. Upon arrival, party attendees will be given a role only known to them - Detective or Killer - and tools to manipulate, uncover, or plant evidence of a murder.
Detectives use various investigation tools to uncover evidence, build a case, and vote to exile all the Killers.
Killers work together to secretly murder the Detectives and deceive partygoers by manipulating the evidence of their crime with deception items.
Key Features
Acoustic Proximity Voice Chat: All sounds in It Was You, including player voice chat, echo the halls with realistic reverberation and occlusion. When a player enters a room and shuts the door, conversations from outside are naturally muffled, adding an unprecedented degree of immersion.
Non-Player Guests: Killers must eliminate these NPCs first, creating a buffer that allows every detective to investigate and participate in the narrative before they risk becoming victims.
Investigation Tools: Uncover fingerprints, footprints, or blood with various tools to help you get to the root of who among you is a killer.
Deception Items & Abilities: Manipulate evidence and evade detection. Items like a spray bottle or tape will let you manipulate the crime scene by removing or planting fingerprints.
Secret Passages: Slip away and cover your tracks. Use the concealed bookshelf in the library or discover one of the many other hidden passages.
Premise
Decked out in their favorite costumes, a group of friends gather at the abandoned Tylock Estate for a Halloween murder mystery party that promises to be life-changing.
Excitement buzzes as the group shows off their costumes and dives head-first into an intricate mystery crafted for them by their friend - each of them assuming their assigned role of Detective or Killer.
As the first round draws to a close, the game begins to take a dark turn. The “murders” start to feel all too real and the evidence - once just playful props - quickly becomes key to the cast’s survival. As suspicions rise and horrified friends turn on one another, exiling those they presume to be accursed, one question lingers: What happens when a game is no longer a game and what happens when you can’t quit?
The Cast
Step - literally - into the lives of a unique cast of twelve characters as you possess the Tylock Estate’s intrepid partygoers and experience It Was You’s mystery through them. Uncover the sordid circumstances that shape the group’s mind-bending paradox and witness their tragedy as they each fight tooth-and-nail for mere seconds of lucidity.
