Serial Killers and Mafia In Old School Pilgrim Style

Have you ever played a game with a few friends sitting around the living room called Mafia where you participated in an investigation together to figure out who are the killers? Well now it's time to bring back those memories with a new online game called Town of Salem. The setting of the game is the pilgrim times back in the 1600's or whenever they came here to the Americas. The objective is to either stay alive and bring to justice those who are the mafia and serial killer or stay alive and help choose who your next victim is going to be as mafia. This game is an online flash game where you can play with as much as 15 people at a time. 

It is very simple to sign-up for, all you need is your email and bam! It is in beta mode which means it hasn't really been officially created but you can still do a variety of things. As soon as you sign up for it, it will ask for a donation to help the game further the development but you can just click out of that pop-up. As you enter into the game you can check out the neat things that you can do to your customize your pilgrim such as giving him a different look or having a pet. All of the customization requires gold which you can slowly gain through playing a lot or using a credit card to purchase the gold. But there is no purchases required in order to play the game. You can invite as many people as you like from your lobby if you have friends online. Once you are ready to play, another screen will open and this is the room where you will wait until it is full with 15 other players and in the mean time you can meet and greet them. 

After the wait is over and the game is about to start, their is a time limit where you anonymously choose whatever name you will like to be known for in the game so nobody will know your true identity from the room before. You can be known whatever you want, some people I saw while I played called themselves Justin Bieber, another person called themselves Big Booty Judy. You can have with it. 

When the game starts you will be given a job and nobody else will know except for you. The jobs for the characters are villager, jester, mafia, serial killer, etc. Your job description will be on the top right corner so you will need to meet your objectives in order to win the game and kill of the mafia and serial killer. The mafia work together in a group of 3 to kill off the others in the village. There is also the serial killer who is apart from the mafia who can kill whomever they choose so watch out. You can also write a will for everyone to read when you die. 

After someone dies in the night, you meet in the center of the town with the other players to decide who was guilty of the murder and find out who is the mafia and the serial killer. Sometimes people decide on innocent people to be hung but that is part of the plan for the bad guys. 

Aside from a few pop ups, this game appears and plays out very well. Very fun to play.
