Deceit 2 is a 4-9 player social deduction horror game where two among you have been Infected. Whilst the Infected do the Game Master’s bidding, the Innocent must work together to escape the Ritual whilst deducing who is plotting against them.
Gameplay
Deceit 2 is played in rounds. At the start of each round, players are randomly assigned a role: either Innocent or Infected. The Innocents’ goal is to escape the Ritual, while the Infected’s goal is to kill all of the Innocents.
Players must work together to complete objectives in order to progress the Ritual. These objectives can include tasks such as repairing generators, collecting items, or solving puzzles. However, the Infected can sabotage the Innocents’ efforts by damaging generators, stealing items, or setting traps.
The Infected can also use their abilities to kill Innocents. For example, the Infected can morph into a monster, teleport around the map, or create illusions.
The Innocents can win the round by completing the Ritual or by killing all of the Infected. The Infected win the round by killing all of the Innocents.
Social Deduction
One of the key elements of Deceit 2 is social deduction. Players must communicate and cooperate with each other in order to complete the Ritual and identify the Infected. However, players must also be careful who they trust, as the Infected will be trying to deceive them.
Players can use a variety of methods to communicate with each other, including text chat, voice chat, and emotes. Players can also use their actions to communicate, such as helping other players with tasks or pointing out suspicious objects.
Roles
In addition to the basic Innocent and Infected roles, Deceit 2 also features a number of other roles. These roles can add variety and complexity to the gameplay.
Some of the other roles in Deceit 2 include:
- Guardian: The Guardian can protect other players from the Infected.
- Medic: The Medic can heal other players and revive them from death.
- Engineer: The Engineer can repair generators and other objects.
- Trapper: The Trapper can set traps to damage the Infected.
- Detective: The Detective can gather information about the other players, including their roles and identities.
