Witnessing something not meant to be seen, you must escape alive from the dark mafia-ruled city of Mantis Falls. You are told that another witness will join you, and together you must work together to survive the increasingly dangerous roads. Your ability to work with another person could be your greatest strength, but what if they are not who they say they are? The hidden roles allow each game to have only witnesses, meaning you all have to survive together to win.
Or there could be an assassin secretly hidden among you, subtly manipulating the situation and waiting for the right moment to strike. Inspired by shadowy film noir worlds, Mantis Falls is a thematic journey where players must continually weigh the value of cooperation against the dangers of trust. On each turn, players will make hidden moves and develop hidden plans, but they will also engage in conversations as they discuss tactics, defend choices, and bluff to protect carefully guarded secrets.
Mantis Falls is sometimes a game of competition balanced with indecision and sacrifice, and sometimes it is a game of cooperation challenged by doubt and distrust. With care you can figure out which one you're playing before it's too late.
