So, what other singleplayer werewolf games do you know about?
For the socially inept people Among Us. :synicle: (I refused to admit to any punning or pruning BTW.)

>Pinkamena: The Android Game.
Android, En, MLP-themed. Horror?
No longer on Google play so you have to dig around for Apk if you're so inclined.
Never played this, but seemed it had pretty positive reviews. It's probably the Pinkamena thing that got it removed considering how tight the MLP guys were with their IP...

>東方人狼噺 / Touhou Jinroh Hanashi
Android, Jp, Touhou-themed, stages-based
It's actually pretty good. Having different Touhou characters as the player character can be plus or minus depending. And each with their own sets of LV-up abilities is a good thing... Except spending time lvling them up might be a bit of hassles.
Need some level of Japanese expertise. And also Googleplay itself is region-locked as usual so dig for apk too if you're outside of Japan.

>夢幻人狼 / Mugen Jinroh
Browser-based, Jp, stages-based, RPGmaker
Didn't go deep into this one, but its a tweaked werewolf game with RPGmaker-ish elements. (Again that's either plus or minus.)
It works as a werewolf game alright though.

Japanese is definitely required

So any other ones out there? (Especially ones in English at least.)

I vaguely remember playing one that was about noble houses or such in some semi lovecraftian setting that might have had entirely green color palette but sadly can't remember what it was called, it was on PC and released after I had played Town of Salem.

Also seems like Steam now has a "social deduction" tag which reveals some interesting games though seemingly not the one I was thinking of

Oh yeah, Overboard is neat.

As is The Magister though the gameplay feels more focused on being a Slay The Spire like than on figuring out who did something.

It's a bit late but if you like Visual Novels then Raging Loop has a similar premise to this game except it's in a cursed Japanese village instead of space.

Late reply, but I'm guessing this is The Shrouded Isle. It's not quite Mafia/Werewolf though

There are quite some werewolf-like multiplayer games other than Among Us (I even believe some of them were earlier ... but just didn't get as much recognition/attention)

The only other Single Player Werewolf-Style game that comes to mind for me is
https://store.steampowered.com/app/626600/Lost_Dimension/
Its a tactical combat game where Teammates start becoming enemies after each chapter (a bit like sleeping Cylons from Battlestar Galactica). And I remember myself being very enthusiastic about a singleplayer-game trying to use the werewolf-formula.

While I know The Magister, Overboard and Shrouded Isle, they didnt really come to mind. I see where people see the connections though.

Actualy, thinking back, I believe Gnosia has just the thing which I was missing in Lost Dimension when I played it. While I liked the idea of that game, I really thought it wasted its potential, because unveiling the traitor was more about winning a minigame than about pondering the characters and finding strange behaviour.
I think its still a good recommendation for friends of that sort of werewolf-style gameplay.

Here's another one I played a couple years ago.

Raging Loop was not randomized right? It's on my wishlist, but I thought it was more an Ever-17 style multiplay AVG. (Might need to give it a second look if it is.)

No, Raging Loop is basically a story driven VN with werewolf mechanics incorporated in it.

I really enjoyed it though and you do play werewolf and have to think about it like you would in a normal werewolf game. But if you replay the same route, you get the same setup. There are basically only a couple of setups in the game (but it's already quite a long VN as is).

GNOSIA is more a mechanics driven game with some story elements. I really liked both games a lot, but while Raging Loop came to mind when I started playing GNOSIA on Switch last year, they do have a different focus.

I do recommend Raging Loop though if you are into story driven VNs.

Definitely try Raging Loop, it's great!

Soo... Not quite a werewolf game, but, Black Closet sets one of your confidants as an imposter and rooting them out takes a lot of effort.

This is a board game that plays similar to Clue, where one player is a monster, and the others are hunters that have to figure out who it is before it cripples them all. I'm putting it on this list because there is AI to play against. Some complain the AI is too easy, but I think it is still fun to go around and figure our who the monster is.

But the hunters are not working together, so they can (and want to) damage each other, so it is still fun to play as the monster and try to cripple all of the hunters. The AI might not be that good at figuring out who the hunter is, but they will still fight you even if they think you are another hunter just to try to take you out of the game.

Also, there are different monsters that the monster player can be, and each have different things they are weak against that you can pick up in the game, so you also have to figure that out as well and then collect the right items to hurt them.

I would recommend the Danganronpa-games here on Steam.

Those are not true werewolf games of course, but they have a lot of similarities.

That's it! Thanks a ton. seems like "Villagers with secret, randomly assigned virtues and vices" was what made me mainly remember it as something similar to werewolf/mafia.

Raging Loop is a bit too verbose to be interesting for my taste. It's not really about the werewolf game but about lore. There's little action in each loop but endless descriptions for atmosphere building, so talking a lot and not saying much. If only they shortened all the boring descriptions and added a few more loops instead (it has only 3 loops or so), it would be nice. If you want Gnosia-like experience (or Zero escape-like or Danganronpa-like or Pheonix Wright-like) where the pace is fast, be careful, maybe stay away.

I would recommend the games "One Eleven", "Tead" and "Wolf or Boy" to you.
