Killer Trait is a social deduction and survival game that places you in a group where one—or more—players have a hidden role: the killer. The core gameplay revolves around suspicion, behavior tracking, and strategic decision-making as the group attempts to figure out who among them is dangerous before it’s too late. Each round is filled with accusations, defense, silence, and betrayal.
Trust No One
In Killer Trait, you begin each match not knowing anyone’s role—including your own if you play in mystery mode. Each character behaves according to traits they’re given at the start. Some are innocent, some paranoid, and others hiding their intent. Observing how people speak, vote, or react during conversations gives you clues, but also presents false leads.
- Gameplay involves deduction, lying, or convincing others.
- Each round allows players to vote out someone they suspect.
- Traits like paranoia, empathy, or manipulation affect each character’s behavior.
Dynamic Roles and Rounds
The game’s roles change every match, keeping sessions unpredictable. Some characters may act innocent but carry dangerous passive abilities. Others may be helpful unless triggered by certain actions. The Killer doesn’t always act aggressively—they may manipulate the group slowly or pin suspicion on others.
- Roles and traits reshuffle between rounds.
- Hidden mechanics encourage unpredictable strategies.
- Player behavior influences others’ perceptions in future sessions.
Replayability Through Deception
Killer Trait thrives on psychological warfare and layered strategy. As you play more rounds, you’ll develop better instincts, but you’ll also become a target for suspicion. The game encourages shifting tactics, silent strategies, and bluffing. No two games feel the same, especially when players start bringing in past grudges or alliances.
- Multiple win conditions based on role type.
- Silent players may be overlooked—or dangerously smart.
- Post-game analysis lets you review what led to the outcome.
Killer Trait takes the core tension of social deduction and weaves in layered traits, hidden roles, and shifting strategies to keep each round fresh. Whether you’re the killer or trying to survive, the game forces you to read people, hide intent, and plan several moves ahead.
