A real-time mystery experience
In Killer Inn, 24 players live together in an ancient castle where they must alternate between predator and victim roles. The "wolves" seek to eliminate the "lambs" in secret, while the lambs must work as a team to gather evidence and unmask the infiltrators.

Impact on the community and development
Closed betas not only allow players early access to the title but also serve as a key tool for refining the final product. With active community feedback, Tactic Studios seeks to build an experience that balances fun, tension, and strategy, establishing Killer Inn as one of the most innovative bets in the social deduction multiplayer genre.
