It Was You

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.

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?
