Deception lies in their words.

About the Game

The Wrong Ones is a single-player card-based deduction game where you must uncover hidden Skinwalkers disguised as ordinary villagers.

Not everything they say can be true.

Your task is simple: Listen. Compare. Identify.


How to Play

1. Start a Round 

A group of villagers appears. Among them hides a Skinwalker. 

2. Read Their Statements 

Each villager makes a claim about themselves or others. 

3. Compare the Information 

Look for contradictions between what different villagers are saying. 

4. Identify Suspicious Behavior 

The Skinwalker mimics others—but something won’t add up. 

5. Analyze Carefully 

Not every villager is wrong. One lie can expose the truth. 

6. Enter Accusation Mode 

When you’re confident, choose a villager you believe is the Skinwalker. 

7.  Make Your Decision 

 Accuse and banish them. 

  •  Correct → You progress 
  •  Wrong → You lose the round


Characters

Each villager plays a role, shaping the information you receive:

  • Farmer 
  • Photographer
  • Musician 
  • Electrician 
  • Therapist 
  • Mimic (Skinwalker)

Controls

Very entertaining, genuinely has you thinking deep. Worth replaying. Well done 👍

Also, I can see a custom 3d-printed version of this to play with family and friends. Would be exciting imo. 👍

How is this different to demon bluff ? From the surface seems like a direct clone ripoff

Hey, that's a fair question.

Just out of curiosity, have you had a chance to play the game yet, or are you judging from the store page/trailer?

I can see why the comparison comes up at first glance since both games fall under the social deduction genre. But The Wrong Ones is built around Skinwalkers, rituals, investigations, character abilities, hidden objectives, and uncovering a curse spreading through a town.

We're still showing only a small portion of what the game offers, so hopefully the differences become clearer as we reveal more gameplay. Either way, thanks for taking a look and sharing your thoughts.
