Introduction
Feign is a multiplayer role-play game which you have to use different strategies and you play max 12 players. A balanced game is created from 3 role types, which are innocents, imposters and neutrals. At night, everyone uses their roles. In the daytime, the events of the night are discussed and as a result, you try to win the game by sending someone who is against your role type from the village by voting.

Doctor

The Doctor is always an innocent role. The player targeted by the doctor at night revives if the player was killed that night. If the doctor has healed someone, it's clear from the plus animation around the player's house. If there is no plus animation, that means someone didn't kill that player that night.
Insane

The Insane is always an innocent role. The Insane gets one of the innocent roles at random. For example, they may think that they are doctors. Even if they think they're healing other player, they actually do nothing but confuse people.
Police

Although Police has the innocent role. It is also used as an imposter role. At the stage of building the game room, it can be included in the game as an imposter Police or an innocent Police. The Police prevents the targeted player from going out at night, so the targeted player cannot use their role that night.
Lookout

Although Lookout has the innocent role, It is also used as an imposter role. At the stage of building the game room, it can be included in the game as an imposter or an innocent. The Lookout watches the targeted player at night. It shows how many people come to the house at night.
Investigator

Although Investigator has the innocent role, It is also used as an imposter role. At the stage of building the game room, it can be included in the game as an imposter or an innocent. The Investigator searches the house of the targeted player at night and shows their roles they can take.
Trapper

Although Trapper has the innocent role, It is also used as an imposter role. At the stage of building the game room, it can be included in the game as an imposter or an innocent. The Trapper sets a trap in front of the targeted player's house. Thus, whoever comes to visit that player's house is caught in the trap and the player who comes to that house cannot use their roles.
Snitch

Although Snitch has the innocent role, It is also used as an imposter role. At the stage of building the game room, it can be included in the game as an imposter or an innocent. The Snitch uses their role at night and they reveals the role of the targeted player when it comes daytime. This role is used only once.

Although Tracker has the innocent role, It is also used as an imposter role. The Tracker pours paint in front of a player's house at night. If the person he spilled paint on in the morning has left the house and has visited another place, he sees it in his footsteps and knows where he is going.

Haunter

The Haunter puts a candle in the house of a person he wants at night. If the Haunter can kicked out of the village himself in the morning, that night the Haunter will come to the house where he put the candle and haunt him. The Doctor and the Survivor cannot stop this attack.
Sorcerer
The Sorcerer strikes lightning at the house of the person he wants with the spell book in his hand at night. While making this attack, he does not leave his house. The Doctor or the Survivor cannot save the player who is been attacked. In order for the mage to attack successfully, he must know the role of the person he is attacking. If he knows the role of the player and makes a successful attack, the lightning strikes the target correctly and the player dies. If he guesses wrong while doing the spell, makes an innocent accusation and attacks a traitor, he can't do the magic correctly, lightning falls on him and he dies.
Gameplay
First of all, there are two options when starting the game. There is a "Host" option to set up a room or a "Join" option to join already existing rooms.

Create a Lobby

To create a lobby, select the "Host" option, then select the necessary settings and create a room. After the room is set up, necessary adjustments are made for the game. On the left side of the lobby is the list of players who will join the game. When someone joins the room, his name appears here. In the picture below you can see which part means what. In the settings section, in-game durations can be adjusted. Voting Duration allows to set the duration of the daytime voting. Role Use Duration allows to set the time to be determined for everyone to do their part at night.




You can see the other details in the lobby from the picture below.


After finishing the settings, you can start the game with the Start button.


Join a Lobby

To join a lobby, you can click "Join" option and view existing lobbies. Because the game is still in early access, it can be difficult to find a lobby in your native language. For this, agreeing with your friends and create a lobby would be a better solution. Also, there are global lobbies to join. No matter which language you speak because there is an auto-translate chat.



In-Game Dashboards


In the upper left corner, you can see which roles are in the game. If a random role has been added, they will appear as question marks. At the same time, you can see which role is innocent or imposter from the red and blue frames.

There is a chatbox in the lower left corner. During the daytime everyone can correspond with each other, but at night the imposters can correspond with each other and the others cannot see what they write.

In the lower right corner are your in-game notes. So what you do in the game is noted. At the same time, the dead players and their roles are noted. These notes are private only to you, no one can see them.


For instance, you see an example in-game notes on the left. If we explain what happened here;
  • Someone(you) successfully killed white.
  • Someone who was a doctor came to heal the pink(you), but the doctor couldn't heal you because the imposter didn't kill you.
  • The White one is dead and her role is the police.
  • The Blue one is dead and her role is the doctor.
  • Someone(you) successfully killed the Brown.
  • Again Someone who was a doctor came to heal the pink(you), but the doctor couldn't heal you because the imposter didn't kill you.





Quick Play Mode

"This game mode will create an official lobby where you will play with anyone around the world using only chat. Don't worry you don't need any translator because this game mode also has an auto-translate chat feature enabled(beta). You will see the whole chat in your language no matter who wrote in which language. This means that you can also use any language while you write in chat too."

In quick game mode, you will be able to start the game much faster. When four persons enter this lobby, the counter begins ticking down from 100 seconds. During this period, additional players may join the lobby, but if there are still 4 or more individuals in the lobby when the 100 seconds are up, the game will begin with a deck appropriate for the number of players in the lobby.
Market


You can buy the costumes you want in the market section for "cookies". You can wear the costumes you bought later in the "Inventory" section on the main menu. Cookies can be collected every day when you enter the game by collecting 50 oookies.

At the moment, you can wear two types of costumes at the same time. One is from the hats category and the other is from the face category. In Inventory section, you can combine costumes and see how it looks.

Conclusion
The aim of the game, as I mentioned at the beginning, is to do your roles at night and send someone from the village by voting during the daytime to win the game. If you are innocent, you must find the imposters and win the game. If you are the imposter, kill the innocents in the village or be against them in the vote to win the game.

Once you learn the basic gameplay of the game, the more you play, the better you will understand. You will find better strategies and try to win the game.

I wish you all the best of luck!

You can express this situation in the bug report section in the game, and you can also get help from the feign discord channel.
