Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated 5d ago

Finalblow Co.'s debut title, Deadly Trick, is a multiplayer social deduction game that blends werewolf-type mechanics with a class trial investigation phase. The game supports 5 to 8 players and is set at Lastov Academy, where players start as 'White' but can transform into 'Black' killers, while a mastermind role hinders progress. A free demo was available during the Steam Next Fest June Edition, ending on July 6, and the early access version incorporates UI improvements and new features based on player feedback from that demo.

The early access launch on Steam is scheduled for July 14. The game was priced at 990 yen during its Next Fest appearance. The class trial system, inspired by Danganronpa, allows players to investigate crime scenes and vote on the culprit. The early access release marks the first public availability of the full game, building on the demo's reception.
