NEW FEATURES

The biggest change in this update is how to play the game. Now, there is an EVIL TEAM of players that work with the murderer to defeat everyone on the good team! Of course, to make it fair, plenty of new roles have been added to both the “good” and “evil” teams! Use your skills to find your teammates and eliminate the other team. Each player has a role in the game and must work together if you want to survive.

However, to make sure every round is diverse and a different challenge, not every round will have every special role. Each round WILL have a murderer and a detective. However, the rest of the roles are organized in pairs. The game will select 2 special evil roles (witch, assassin, scout, dark psychic) to help the murderer and 2 special good roles (psychic, medic, savior, spy) to help the good side! The game will also choose to play with twins, a muffin man, and a clown. In the future, as roles are added, there will be more special roles each round.

New Roles & Changes to existing roles

  • [DETECTIVE] The detective is replacing the current investigator. The detective will be given 2 or 3 clues each night that helps them figure out who is on the GOOD or EVIL team. The detective should try to find other members on their team and communicate with them so they can eliminate the evil team in voting. The detective is the leader of the GOOD TEAM.

  • [MURDERER] The murderer now has one more advantage; they will not know who the “assassin” is (if there is one in the round), but the assassin knows who the murderer is and can communicate with them to try and eliminate the good team!

  • [PSYCHIC] The psychic’s results will now say “good” or “evil.” The psychic is on the good team.

  • [SPY] Spy is a new role coming in this update! The spy can “bug” someone each time the lights go out. When the lights turn back on, the spy will have a report that tells them every person that visited the person you bugged! The spy is on the good team.

  • [SAVIOR] The savior is a new role coming in this update! The savior can revive ONE person ONE time the entire night. The savior is part of the good team and should try to revive someone from the good team to help them win.

  • [MEDIC] The medic can now protect themselves once per game! The medic is still on the good team.

  • [ASSASSIN] The assassin is a new role coming to flicker! The assassin can kill ONCE per game and the medic can NOT save their victim! They’re deadly! The assassin also knows the identity of the murderer. A round with a murderer AND an assassin is a challenge! The assassin is part of the evil team.

  • [DARK PSYCHIC] The dark psychic functions just like the psychic, but their goal is to help the “evil” team win by eliminating all of the good team! Each night, they select a player. They will find out if that player is part of the “good” or “evil” team. With this information, the dark psychic should help the murderer!

  • [SCOUT] The scout functions like the spy and is a new role coming in the update. The scout can “bug” someone each time the lights go out. When the lights turn back on, the scout will have a report that tells them every person that visited the person you bugged! The scout is on the evil team and should help the murderer eliminate everyone on the good team.

  • [WITCH] The witch is a new role coming in the update and is part of the evil team. The witch is SUPER powerful and can BLOCK someone’s power for the night! The witch will chose a player, and that player will not be able to use their ability. This power is ineffective against the murderer.

  • [CLOWN] The clown is on the neutral team! For the clown to win, you must get voted (not killed) out by everyone. When you are voted out, you can kill someone and bring them with you! DUE TO BUGS: THIS IS NOT YET IMPLEMENTED. COMING SOON!

  • [TWINS] The twins have not been updated.

  • [MUFFIN MAN] Our beloved muffin man role has not been updated.

New Maps & Map Updates

  • [MURDER HOUSE] Murder house now has some lighting fixes to make it more spooky! Additionally, some build edits have been made.
  • [FARMSTEAD] Farmstead has some new lighting fixes.
  • [60s ASYLUM]: New map! A 60s themed hospital & asylum is coming to flicker. There are some fun new death scenes and clearly some paranormal activity at work.
  • [DEEP WOODS]: New map! Deep Woods is, as the name suggests, deep in the woods! Plenty of new death scenes and lots, lots, of fire for the pyromaniacs out there!
  • [AREA 8]: A top secret science lab studying radioactive materials, energy, plasma, and deadly entities…
  • [SEWERS]: The sewer map remains unchanged.

Notable Features

  • GHOST MODE! When you die, you and the other dead players will become ghosts. Now, enjoy floating around the map and haunting the alive players (that can’t see you), and hope a savior revives you back into the game!

  • NEW GAMEMODES! We are replacing “pro servers” with “CLASSIC SERVERS.” If you do not like the new roles, you will be able to play with the murderer, investigator, medic, and psychic only.

  • NEW CHAT! Now, in the top left, your character’s name will display and you can keep up with the chat. Additionally, your name tag above your head is now visable from all angles.

  • CUTSCENES & NICER LOADER! We now have a better loading screen that shows you your role and some basic information. At the end, we also have ending credits that show you the winning survivors and those that died.

  • JOURNALS! Keep track of information and strategize by using a journal. The journal will be displayed for each player killed/removed from the game. Use this to your advantage! You can share your role, or LIE to decieve the players and manipulate the game.

  • NOTES! Send notes to other players to try and secretly team up. However, be careful! One out of every five notes will DROP and everyone can read it!

  • NEW USER INTERFACE! We designed some nice tools for your screen! You can now see your role and information, a nicer selection tool for choosing players, and better access your notes/journal.

  • MUSIC & SOUND EFFECTS! Now, each map has a map specific song. Additionally, we added some spooky sound effects like a knife stab and a heart beat to really make the game environment more realistic!

  • LIGHTING EFFECTS & FIXES! Each map now has a better “light flickering” effect!

  • NEW DIALOGUE! The narrator’s script is now much different to be more realistic and relevant to any map.

  • BUG FIXES to some previous bugs found in our current version.

We are so excited to launch this update! Get excited, this is our biggest update yet!
