T.J. Forest Announces Chaotic Identity-Concealment Game Buried Whispers
Buried Whispers introduces a chaotic twist on the social-deduction genre by letting players attack anyone and inflate votes at a health cost, which could set it apart from more structured games like Among Us.
Reporting from 1 sources: 4Gamer.net.
T.J. Forest announced Buried Whispers, a 10-player PC action game with identity-concealment mechanics, on June 11, 2026. Players are split into devil worshippers and moles, each with separate goals. The game features proximity chat, player attacks, random cave generation, and a voting system where health can inflate votes. Playtest signups are open on Steam.
The game divides up to 10 players into devil worshippers trying to complete a demonic ritual and moles trying to stop it. Devil worshippers vote to find the mole, but they can spend health to increase their vote count, creating a bluffing risk. Players can attack anyone regardless of team, and proximity chat is standard. The cave map is randomly generated, and digging through walls can reveal new areas. Late arrivals at the general meeting die from gas. The Steam store page is now accepting playtest requests.
