Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Finalblow released the early access version of Deadly Trick on Steam. The social deduction game for 5 to 8 players casts everyone as White students with special abilities who must complete class activities to survive. Betrayal, a Black role, and a Mastermind complicate cooperation, with a Class Trial phase deciding the culprit. The early access period is planned for 5 to 6 months.
Deadly Trick is now playable on Steam after a delay from its original July 14 date. The early access build includes improvements such as easier clue checking and a communication terminal for anonymous messaging, according to Steam News.
The game supports 5 to 8 players, all starting as White students at Last High School. Each player has a unique special ability. Completing class activities within the time limit is the shared goal, but if joint victory looks unlikely, players can betray each other.
When a White obtains a weapon, they become Black and can kill for a solo win if they avoid being named in the Class Trial. A Mastermind also hides among the Whites, obstructing activities or handing over weapons. The trial phase relies on comparing clues, with Black and Mastermind players able to submit false clues.
Early access is planned for 5 to 6 months, with new modes, story content, and characters to be added. The game costs 990 yen, discounted to 841 yen until August 15.
