Town Of Salem

[Xilkozuf]

In the last Humble Bundle (still going actually), I discovered this little nice game that I wouldn't have tried otherwise probably. I did a few game and had a lot of fun, even if I suck a lot and more expert players don't really like newbies.
So, what is it about? You, and other 14 people, are the inhabitants of a small town and each of you have a role - Sheriff, Jailor, Jester, Mafioso... there are many roles, all with different abilities and stuff. Usually there are two factions: the town and the mafia (and the serial killer which is more on his own, but if I go into details about each role it get complicated... and I don't even know many of them). The gameplay is very minimalistic: most of it is done on the in-game chat, and the various abilities are performed just by clicking the name of another player. Don't be fooled by the look however, because there is a lot of complexity.
It's a game of lies and misdirection, you never know who to trust and who is good or evil. And this, for me, is really intrigued.
Have you tried it?

Me and @Tassar Vei have played with a few others, it's a cool game but after playing a few rounds it gets a bit boring.

I heard about this game from my friends and they said it was kind of boring and a bit complicated and confusing. Even in steam, it has got a bad reputation. So, I might not as well try it out and looking for more cooler games.

It's a great game to play with your buddies when your all tired (or even drunk kappa).

Like @Gray said it was fun for a few rounds with @Tassar Vei and a couple others but shortly got really boring real quick. I also agree on your statement about the complexity level the game introduces. Even after those couple of rounds I still was slightly confused on how to possibly work it out.

Agreed, but for a free game, how can you go wrong?

I guess it might get boring after a while, but for now I'm enjoying it a lot anyway. I just want to try every role, and I've never been some of them! I've been enjoying it so much that I also bought the Coven expansion, but it's a bit empty for now... so I'll need some time to get used to some of the new roles, but I feel like they are all good additions.
