Description

In a quiet medieval village, all is not as it seems. Two Heretics from the neighboring province have infiltrated the town, scheming to corrupt the local populace away from the true faith! If unchecked, the Heretics will corrupt one person each night to support their cult. Each day, the townspeople must try to discover the identity of the heretics, choosing one person to imprison. Can the townspeople stem the tide of heresy before it is too late?

This game follows a similar mechanic to Mafia or Werewolf, with secret roles, Night and Day phases, and voting to identify the malefactors! However, instead of killing their victims, the Heretics corrupt them one by one: the longer the Heretics go undetected, the more the tide turns toward their victory! Suspected Heretics are imprisoned - but if players are proved innocent, they can also be released, meaning that no one is ever fully eliminated from the game! And don't worry, no burnings at the stake: this game is family-friendly (as long as your family knows what heresy means...)

Gameplay is possible with at least 6 players, but works best with at least 10. 13 character roles mean there are plenty of special abilities for everyone even in a large group!
