During the Summer Game Fest Live Showcase, SQUARE ENIX® revealed KILLER INN, a new murder mystery action title that blends high-stakes survival with social deduction gameplay. Developed by Tactic Studios in collaboration with TBS GAMES, the game invites players into a deadly contest where trust is scarce and danger is ever-present. A closed beta test is set to launch soon on Steam®, with sign-ups currently open.
In KILLER INN, 24 players are summoned to a mysterious castle by an enigmatic group known as Astra, drawn by the promise of unimaginable wealth. Once inside, each participant is secretly assigned one of two roles: Wolves or Lambs. Wolves are tasked with eliminating other players, while Lambs must band together to uncover their predators, survive the chaos, or find a way to escape. Every tool, weapon, and clue found within the castle could tip the balance between life and death, as deception and deduction drive the gameplay.
Key Features:
Dynamic Social Deduction
Lambs must collaborate to search for resources, investigate clues left behind by fallen players, and identify the Wolves among them. Meanwhile, Wolves must deceive, manipulate, and kill without raising suspicion, aiming to outlast or eliminate the opposition.
Varied Gameplay Mechanics
Players can enhance their chances of survival and success by completing quests, looting for weapons and armor, setting traps, upgrading equipment, and even stealing from fellow competitors.
Diverse Cast of Characters
More than 20 playable characters are available, each with distinct abilities, strengths, and backstories tailored to different playstyles.
KILLER INN is provisionally rated M (Mature) by the ESRB and PEGI 18. The game has not yet received a final ESRB rating.
