Need an explanation on the souls mode

[Dragonixor]

I got the 4-pack of the game for me and friends, and we're really liking it thus far.
But recently, I got this mode called souls, and we didn't understand what to do.
After a few tries, we finally understood that there was a transparent ghost of those who died which could get the souls back to revive.
The problem is that we have no idea what affects which player gets killed by the target. Whatever we do, it always seem to be RNG that decides which of us wins at the end.

tldr: In souls, can we affect who dies or is it random?

+1 for change of the mode a bit

Yep, I'm also confused as to how this game mode works.

The in-game instructions aren't very helpful.

Each person has their own soul,The game picks which one of you 4 dies.The one that dies drops his soul,and if someone picks it up he will have 2 souls or if the person who dies picks it up he will be revived and have his own soul.If you have get picked by the game you will die and loose your sould meaning that the people who are dead can pick them up and revive themselves. The odds of being picked are the same if there is 4 players its 25% of you getting picked if there's 3 players alive there is a 33.3333333% Youl get picked and if theres 2 players alive there is a 50%-50% chance either one of you is going to get picked.If you DO collect ALL souls (4) you will instantly win.If not the one with the most souls at the end will win.If 2 players have 2 souls then they both win and both get 5+ Points

So it really is random :(
Feels bad when you do well the whole game only to get killed 2 seconds before the end

It is not completly random I believe. The target switches between players that are close together, so if your 3 friends are in a corner and you are on the other side of the room by yourselve, the target will only switch between your friends. Kinda lika a bomb tag.

There's a percentage on who it will kill. if someone has 3 souls, there's a 75% chance that they'll get picked to kill. At the start, it's all even, you're just unlucky if it picks you first. My only suggestion for this gamemode is to make the Ghosts on Souls brighter and more colorful, half the time I lose my Ghost once I die.

Thank you! I can't understand why the devs can't explain such a major game rule.

2 years late, but I'm glad it helped someone
