The name comes slowly into focus
During the wolves’ turn, and only then, the Little Girl holds a button down. A wolf’s name, drawn at random, grows sharper and sharper. If she lets go, it blurs again slowly: she does not lose everything at once.
Version 1.5.0 · since Tuesday 29 September
What’s new in the village
Version 1.5.0, and everything that changed since Tuesday. Here is what awaits you at the next game night. Remember to update the app from Google Play.
Thursday 1 October · version 1.5.0
The Little Girl spies
A whole new way to play the Little Girl, full of suspense for her and for the wolves alike.
A dot on the wolves’ screens
While she looks, a small dot appears on the wolves’ screens, in a different place each time, and grows to the size of a fingertip. If a wolf touches it, the Little Girl dies.
One wolf a night
Once the name is sharp, it goes into her notebook. Up to her when to tell the village.
Thursday 1 October · version 1.4.0
The village speaks up
Until now, the day was mostly guesswork. Now you talk, accuse, contradict each other, and everyone can see who said what.
Raise your hand
No more shouting over each other. Raise your hand on your phone and join the line. When it is your turn, your face shows on every screen, with a little countdown.
Say what you know
Are you the Seer? Tell the table, with what you saw: “Night 1, I saw Bruno: a wolf.” The Fox, the Bear Tamer, the Witch and the Little Girl have their own form too. The app checks nothing: a wolf may well be lying.
Two Seers?
If two players both claim to be the Seer, every phone shows a warning: one of them is lying. Your job to find out which.
The village board
One page sums it all up: who claims what, what was said about each player, who suspects whom. You can also post your theory, up to three suspects, with your reasons.
Votes say why
When you vote, you can give a reason. It stays secret until the count, then everyone sees it, next to little reminders like “Hugo voted against Élise, who says she is the Seer”.
Last words
The player the village is about to eliminate gets thirty seconds to plead their case before their card is turned over.
Reactions, any time
“What?!”, “I knew it”, “Ha!”: six reactions that float up from your face onto every screen. At night they wait for dawn so they give nobody away, and the dead react among ghosts.
The pack agrees
At night, each wolf sees the others’ proposals and can back one with a single tap.
The Devoted Servant no longer freezes the game
Her question did not show and the game got stuck. Fixed.
Wednesday 30 September · version 1.3.0
The village comes alive
Moving pictures, brand new sounds and a few extra treats.
Sleeping phones come alive
With the lights on, the phones of those asleep show the role the storyteller is calling: the pack on the prowl, Cupid drawing his bow, the Seer over her crystal ball. At dawn and at the verdict, every death is played out in pictures.
Every sound redone
Every sound effect was recorded again, in all three worlds of the game. Nine roles that woke up in silence finally have their own.
Your photo at the table
Take a selfie or pick a photo from your gallery, in Settings: your face replaces the drawing.
Who voted against whom
Every vote of the game stays readable, day after day. Handy when the village has just hanged an innocent.
A chaotic game
A new house rule: the same card can appear several times. Four hunters? Three seers? Allowed.
Every card in the game
At the deal, everyone sees the list of cards in play, with how many of each, and can check it again any time in the notebook.
Several marks on one player
“That’s a wolf” and “I insist” can now stand together. Only marks that contradict each other replace one another.
The table’s voice
The voice the host picks is the whole table’s. Another phone that tells the story can switch its own, even mid-game.
And also
The host can remove someone from the lobby before the deal. Pictures on the ten screens that had none. Nothing hides under the top bar or the bottom buttons any more. The Witch no longer sees a victim once her healing potion is used. The app is much lighter: pictures arrive on their own at first launch.
Tuesday 29 September · version 1.2.0
Three worlds, three voices
The same village, dressed three ways, and storytellers livelier than ever.
Princess and Commando
In Settings, “Game look” offers Classic, Princess (candy pink, for the youngest) or Commando (army green and robots). Every card and every picture changes with it.
All-new narration
The three storytellers recorded everything again: thirty-six minutes of story, livelier, and no sentence cut off halfway.
The pack chooses together
Each wolf picks on their own phone and sees the others’ picks. The victim is chosen once the whole pack agrees.
Time to take it in
After the verdict, everything stays on screen a few seconds before night falls, and the game says what it is waiting for, such as the hunter choosing whom to take with him.
Updates no longer cut your games
When I update the game, the game in progress carries on: phones reconnect on their own within a second, and nobody loses their seat.
