Demon Summoner

What is Demon Summoner

Demon Summoner is a team-based social deduction game of strategic summoning and secret sabotage. Each player has a secret role of Righteous or Evil, with the exception of the Demon Summoner, who is the publicly-known strategist of the Evil team.

Throughout the game, players assemble hunts, where they have the chance to smite or release demons summoned by the Demon Summoner. The Righteous players, who win the game by smiting demons, seek to find Righteous teammates to join them in their hunts. Meanwhile, the Evil players hope to release demons in secret, while hiding their true identity. Fortunately, they are assisted by the Demon Summoner, who strategically assigns demons in an attempt to corroborate the deceptions of their Evil teammates.

Amidst chaos and deception, players can invoke Prophecies to reveal demons that would otherwise remain unseen. But be careful not to be too predictable — the Demon Summoner hears every word you say and can adapt to your plans. Can the Righteous team find their true allies, or will they be deceived by the Demon Summoner?
