Throne of Lies: The Online Game of Lies and Deceit Wikia



Throne of Lies: The Online Game of Lies and Deceit, or "ToL", is an online multiplayer video game, inspired by the Werewolf/Mafia genre. ToL was created with the Unity3D Game Engine with C#. Up to 15 players can play consecutively. Platforms include PC, Mac, and Linux.

The game objective is to eliminate the opposing team, or " faction ". Traitors are rumored to plot against the castle: Players discover who has committed treason through abilities and social discussions, deducting clues and eliminating the opposite team before they murder you at night. Neutral faction objectives generally just require them to survive (they win when another faction wins, if alive at the end)

Players can murder other players at night by use of night abilities. Players can accuse others of treason during the day to vote for their execution.

Note: Some special roles may have exceptions to this or their own objectives, entirely.Every role will be given two role types. Some types may affect abilities, but for the most part, this is more of a short summary to figure out what each role does without actually reading their abilities: There are 3.5 factions:
 * 1) Defensive = Abilities will generally defend yourself
 * 2) Healer = Abilities will heal others or prevent them from dying
 * 3) Killer = Ability to kill others offensively
 * 4) Hunter = Abilities will be aimed at specific players, roles or types
 * 5) Investigative = Abilities to investigate others, revealing clues to their role/ faction /types
 * 6) Noble = Can talk with other nobles and step forward to become The King
 * 7) Social = Sociopaths, manipulating chat or the way communication is perceived
 * 8) Special = Unique roles, such as The King or The Mastermind, not falling into a specific category
 * 9) Support = Can support others, such as roleblocking or defending others
 * 10) Watch = Benefit from further investigative abilities while watching others closely
 * 11) Wildcard = They truly only benefit themselves and you don’t know what to expect
 * 1) Blue Dragon (Good): Their objective is to defeat the Black Rose
 * 2) Black Rose (Bad): Their objective is to defeat the Blue Dragon
 * 3) Neutral: Their objective is either to survive or their own objective
 * 4) Cult (Neutral): Their objective is to do defeat all other factions. They don't always appear in games.
 * Before a game begins, every player can choose a temporary alias (name) or allow for a randomized name.
 * All players are assigned to anonymous roles - no one knows what each other's role is.
 * Some types will show as "Random < Type >"
 * To allow for deduction, the list of roles will be present in Standard Mode, but you still don't know who is what role.
 * The Black Rose faction is the exception: They know who other Black Rose faction members are.
 * There will always be The King, randomly (and privately) assigned to a faction.
 * If The King dies, a vote will arise to take his place. Nobles can step forward to bypass this event and become The King.
 * Every game will have The Mastermind role (Black Rose faction ), which can "recruit" members to the Black Rose faction.
 * Whenever The Mastermind converts a player, if not immune, they will become a mirrored role to their current one, with similar abilities.
 * Every role will have 2 "role types", indicating the aim for each role.
 * Example: Investigator type will obtain clues, while a killer type will offensively kill others.

ToL gameplay has a unique flow of phases, shifting from day to night. "Game Over" can only end during the beginning of the day phase, when a faction is victorious over another. After an introduction, the game begins during the Night phase:
