Solid game, you literally can't play too much of it. (Not to mention my 169 hours is just on PC, I probably have pretty close to that on mobile too.)

Classic "who dun it" set in the Salem witch trials. Very well done and an instant nostalgia hit every time. And you can play for free on a browser too!

Really fun game, horrible moderation. You'll get banned for the dumbest things and have to create a new account and pay for the game again. What a rip off. I wasn't even being edgy or trolling anyone. It's almost as if reporting someone immediately gets your account deleted.

Seen better days - now remembered for predatory monetization and killing off 90% of its userbase in the 10 years I've remembered this garbage.

Game is unplayable at most times of the day. So little people playing it takes longer to find a match than it takes to play. And that's if you managed to make it to the end of the lobby.
But beyond that, you have just as much chance to have people throwing that you used to in its hayday.
Moderators are more worried about perma-banning people they don't like vs actually moderating the game.
People who spam slurs every game? Mass reported? Their accounts stay active for days and then when they finally get banned they just make a new one and come back. Real players make a bad play, perma banned immediately. Make an insensitive joke, perma-banned. Apparently spamming all n words must die isn't as bad as referencing Palestine, as my friend just recently learned who lost their 11 year old account. Zero active or passed marks on the account. Just straight perma'd.
A report I looked at had a guy trying the friendly werewolf strategy, a fully viable strategy as I've won games with it myself, where you try and support town against Mafia and try to play them both until you can betray them at the end. Perma'd for gamethrowing. The moderators don't know their own rules. During BMG era they actually understood nuances like this. With BMG you could out yourself as mafia or jester as long as it was to make an actual play, even if the play didn't end up working and you would not be punished at all. But Bandito's mods? They clearly do not.
Rules are not there to be enforced to ensure fun gameplay, they're there to be excuses for an angry cat mom with fibromyalgia to flex her hate on the patriarchy and right leaning people.
The fact they have a ban appeal option in the first place, and yet every single ban is denied with a blurb that says "bans can't be overturned", is pathetic. The only purpose of this system is to allow their power tripping alt left moderators to talk trash to you.
I've seen some of them. They are snarky, rude reddit mod level of replies.
One guy mentioned Trump on the stand, saying that he was being pushed just because he was Trump positive. He got banned for it, and he got a multi sentence response from the mod on ban appeal with things like "If you make a new account, next time leave the politics out". Yeah that's a legit response from a real mod, good job Bandito you're sure doing a whole lot to support and lead this game you bought for no reason other than to censor it and AFK.
The overall takeaway here is the game is dead, it's next to impossible to make it into a legitimate game, and what few remaining players are there drop like flies to power hungry unchained unhinged moderators that would make even BMG, if they still existed, cringe.
The game isn't worth 2 cents let along 6.49 Canadian.
Fully expecting Hiway202 to see which account is associated with my Steam account, ban me, and make the reason that I was being mean to her in this review.
Because they'd rather do that than moderate the game properly.

Game is good, Moderators of the game are a big disappointment. Rather then doing something against the botting, they ban others for apparently "cheating" because you manage to do something like hanging your target D2 as an exe or smthg
Good game, bad mods
