Finalblow Co. has confirmed that 'Deadly Trick' will be playable at the Steam Next Fest June Edition starting June 15. The social deduction game for 5 to 8 players places everyone in the role of a student at Last-Fu Academy, each with unique special abilities. All players start as 'White' and must complete class activities to survive. A White player can obtain a weapon and become 'Black', aiming for a solo victory by killing another player and avoiding being named the culprit in the class trial. A hidden 'Mastermind' role can obstruct the Whites or hand a weapon to another player to force a Black conversion. When a murder occurs, the game enters a class trial phase where players must identify the culprit using clues gathered during an investigation. Black and Mastermind players can submit false clues to mislead the group. The demo at Steam Next Fest will feature the full core system without restrictions. Early access is scheduled for July 2026 at 990 yen.
