Court of Lies

Court politics and hidden roles

Court of Lies is a social deduction game for PC, set at a medieval court where players try to identify traitors while passing royal decrees. You sit at a table with 5 to 10 people, speak through built-in voice chat, and watch how others vote, handle decrees, and react. There’s no interface showing anyone’s role, and players can talk at any time rather than waiting for turns.

The game has three roles. Loyal Knights work to pass five royal decrees or find and execute the Dark Heir. Traitors know one another and aim to pass six dark edicts or put the Dark Heir in the Vizier’s chair. The Dark Heir’s goal is to survive. At small tables the traitors know the Heir; as the table grows, the Heir is left without that knowledge.
