There's a few characters you can't go head to head against, at least without being high level. If you can afford to, wait until someone else throws some suspicion their way and back up the accuser.

Yeah, Yukiko has incredibly high stats so she tends to dominate games and is really hard to vote out/disagree with. There's a reason why Stealth is her weak point. Also fun discovery: try to make a game where you are Doctor/Engineer but don't step up neither yourself or asked and let an evil do it. Go on, try it.

I've never played Werewolf or its like before and this just sounded interesting enough that I popped the $25. Not too far in at all (I assume I'm still in the tutorial) but Yuriko just removed my Ignore Targeting protection ![]()

Update: Yuriko murdered me on the second night after we managed to correctly vote off the false Engineer (Gina). Guess 10 Stealth wasn't enough. In the after-action report, it was at least amusing to me that Guardian Angel Raqio tried to defend Gina, who murdered him.

I kept accidentally mashing through the "step forward" request when playing as Doctor or Engineer, so I ended up in a fun loop where Gnosia Otome was declared definitely human and everything was hosed. The AI does not consider dumb human error in its reasoning.

tfw the Gnosia eliminate you despite you having exactly the wrong idea about who was Gnosia... I'm at the point where I can pick the conditions for the next loop, anyone have ideas about what setup is best to learn how to get better (without regard for XP/events) cause I'm just very bad at this? Been going like 10 players/2 Gnosia with engineers and doctors enabled and the other roles off cause I noticed AC Followers were very confusing to me.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:tfw the Gnosia eliminate you despite you having exactly the wrong idea about who was Gnosia... You have the option to do Event Search, which sets a set of rules and also tinkers with role assignments behind the scenes so you can more easily see special scenes, it's pretty much the objective of the story. That way you can try out different roles and get Commands which are really important. AC Followers are just humans who side with the Gnosia: this means they can lie about their role (and lie in general) but Engineer and Doctor will find them human. In a normal Werewolf game they win even if they die as long as the evil team wins, but in this game it's more important to survive till the end even if you lose so there's not much value on playing one. Honestly, the biggest advice for this game is to just play and try out different things: EXP scales with the number of loops so you eventually raise your stats so you can control situations more easily.

It's a pretty powerful tool though: using Step Forward D1 means one of the claimants is guaranteed to be Engineer/Doctor because of that quirk (and also that you should pay attention if someone else claims/asks for claims). Pretty sure it's intentional given that there's a special scene if the "Totally a Human" fake claim says something that is a Definitively Enemy trigger.

Disabling AC follower and bug makes things a lot easier because you no longer have to account for the possibility that humans can be lying.

One of my favorite plays when it works is not revealing Guard Duty day 1 and one of the fake Engineers say they are Gnosia and then we reveal then as Guard Duty.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:tfw the Gnosia eliminate you despite you having exactly the wrong idea about who was Gnosia... 9-10 players, 3 gnosia, no ac followers or bugs, play as the engineer and survive as long as possible so you get to verify your guesses after each round. That’s what I’ve been doing to get a feel for how characters act and react as gnosia. Maybe throwing AC followers in there might help now that I think about it.

Just did this and the AC and Gnosia both pretended to be the engineer. This lead to the AC outing the Gnosia, followed by the Gnosia mercing the AC while I sat back laughing.

No, sadly, no facial expressions or anything that gives it away. I guess once you caught on it'd make things too easy, although it'd be a cool substitute for the "this person is lying" flash.

I know Shigemichi is the joke character, but Raqio has been pretty consistently getting iced on the first day in many of my recent loops. I'm almost done unlocking everybody's notes, and it feels like the rate of special events is slowing down. I don't mind restarting a loop over and over to get the right configuration of characters/roles, but it'd be nice if I had more information about what I need to be looking for when I'm event-hunting (e.g., must have Yuriko in the game)

I'm liking the way some(but not too many) events are strategy hints. Most of Raqio's events are 'if XYZ is the situation, who is gnosia/human/whatever(or can you even definitively tell)' tutorials with them being surprised if you can do basic logic before answering. Then there's one group event where Raqio suggests looking for gnosia by seeing who defends each other too much, before the other people in the event point out that they're 100% the type of rear end in a top hat who would throw their own allies under the bus if they're gnosia. ![]()

The best event is the one when Jonas and Shigemichi both claim the same role and then play videogames to see who will get voted out but if Shigemichi wins.... "That's the Gnosia power baby!" "Shigemichi has been sent to cold sleep" ![]()

There’s also a version of that event where Jonas is Gnosia and lets it slip, though Shigemichi’s is probably funnier 404notfound posted:I know Shigemichi is the joke character, but Raqio has been pretty consistently getting iced on the first day in many of my recent loops. The “Good at the deduction part, bad at the social part” is an extremely common type of Werewolf player. The devs really did their homework on this stuff

Finally beat it on Loop 176. I finally gave in and looked up how to trigger the last event I needed, and I’m glad I did because it seems like I needed to use the cover command on someone (which I almost never do anymore), so it would have taken me ages to luck into that. Really enjoyed both the ending and the True Ending. What a cool, weird little game. I can definitely still see myself firing it back up for a loop or two every now and again.

My favorite tutorializing event is Yuriko straight up telling you she’s Gnosia and being all “try to get me.” It took me a few tries but it was a great exercise in figuring out how to nail someone who has better stats and abilities than me. Of course, by the time I got to the endgame I could just steamroll her like everyone else, but for early strategy it was cool.

It annoys me when I have a game where I'm Engineer and confirm someone is Gnosia and then Otome/Comet keep pulling me aside and saying "(Gnosia person) is lying!" I keep getting my hopes up that they're going to give me useful info! The game does a good job of making Jonas really weird in a unique way. Can't really think of many characters I've encountered who are weird in that same sort of way.

SQ really loves teaming up with me. So far I'm about 3/5 times where she was Gnosia and stayed "loyal" to me to the end.

She's a troll. From what I gathered she can be both the worst and best teammate/enemy. There's no middle.

SQ and Kukrushka both have high Performance/Charm and low logic so they basically act based on emotion and are a pain in the rear end to pin down, which makes them real annoying to deal with since they can make someone dislikable and gun for them (though SQ tends to go more on the "making random collabs to have a Seek Help bot and making random accusations" and Kukrushka tends to "Regret and make you regret doubting her because half the crew is defending her and gunning down whoever she dislikes".

Finally finished the game, after giving in and looking up a few things. One of the last character notes I needed was, frustratingly, tied to the lesson on learning the don't vote command, which required a bit of a unique setup that for some reason I just hadn't really encountered over 100 loops in. The individual dialogue gets repetitive after playing through each loop so many times, and by the end your stats are so high that it doesn't require much social maneuvering to get things done, so I'm probably not going to keep playing the game, unless I get the urge some weeks or months down the line and restart from scratch. But single-player Mafia was surprisingly fun, and the Hades-like drip-feeding of the mystery after every loop was a great way to keep me engaged. Definitely a worthwhile experience. The only thing that I think is a bit of a mark against it is Comet's unfortunate outfit design. I'm fine just looking past it, but it makes it a little difficult to recommend to others without a big disclaimer.

I can agree. I ended up farming EXP by doing Solo Gnosia no evil Roles (gives you hundreds of thousands of EXP when the cap per level is 50k), maxed out everything and finally got the drat last command I was missing. Having 50 in all stats is hilarious because you can do poo poo like stopping Say I'm Human without people voting you off, inmediately turning anyone into Raquio by doubting them or claiming Engineer and making people Vote off your Gnosia characters. It turns the game into a pub Among Us rond where you can get the Guard Duty voted off by saying "they sus". I still somehow have the feeling of wanting to play even more but I'll drop it for a bit because it actually hooked me too much.
