Ritual Disorder

The circle gathers. The schema is dealt. One of you is lying. RITUAL DISORDER is an online social deduction game steeped in cosmic horror. A circle of cultists locked in an ancient castle performs a series of rituals — gathering arcane objects and laying them out on a pentagram to touch forbidden knowledge. But one of the circle is a traitor, sworn to ruin the rituals from within.PERFORM THE RITUAL - Each ritual deals a secret schema: which object belongs on which node of the pentagram. - Your notebook shows you only a fragment of the schema — the traitor sees it all. Together, the circle always holds the complete picture. If everyone tells the truth. - Search the castle, carry the right objects back, and set them on their pedestals before the timer runs out. A single wrong object on any pedestal ruins the ritual. PAY THE PRICE - A failed ritual demands blood: the circle votes, and the chosen one is sacrificed on the altar. - Voting is public — you point at your target with your own raised hand. - Three completed rituals and the cult triumphs. Three ruined rituals and the darkness prevails. Sacrifice the traitor, and the match ends on the spot. SOW DISORDER - The traitor plays by the same rules as everyone else — no weapons, no kills, only knowledge and sabotage. - Hex a carried object: the next cultist to pick it up is struck by a blinding flash or scrambled controls. - Misplace objects in plain sight, lie with a straight face, and survive the votes. SPEAK OR SUFFER - Built-in proximity voice chat: step aside to whisper — but someone may be standing in the dark behind you. - A quick wheel of 12 phrases with gestures, for accusations that need no microphone. - The sacrificed are not gone: ghosts wander the castle freely, watch everything, and talk to other ghosts — the dead hold their own conversation the living will never hear. Play with 2–8 players over Steam or LAN. Full deduction rules need a circle of at least 3.
