Something sinister is brewing in It Was You, the upcoming multiplayer murder mystery game from Snowfall Games. This game invites 5 to 12 players to a Halloween night party at the haunted Tylock Manor, where deception, deduction, and danger await. Upon arriving at this eerie mansion, players take on one of two roles: Detective or Murderer. The game will be available for PC via Steam.

Detectives must use their wits and tools to uncover the truth, while Murderers must deceive, manipulate, and eliminate victims without being caught. The game’s detailed environment hides clues, secret passages, and frightening details that make the murder mystery unique to this title.

In It Was You, both Detectives and Murderers have different tools to help them achieve their goals. Detectives can use magnifying glasses to uncover footprints, UV lights to reveal hidden blood trails, and lie detectors to expose liars. These tools help gather evidence and unmask the killer before it’s too late.

One of the best parts of It Was You is its realistic voice chat system. Voices echo through the halls of Tylock Manor, and when a player closes a door, conversations outside the room become muffled. To make the game feel more alive, there are also NPC guests, characters not controlled by players. Murderers must eliminate them first, which gives others a chance to investigate and better engage with the story.
