The Guest
Players take the roles of an extrasolar ship’s crew as a mind‑controlling parasite spreads aboard during a voyage to a distant station. The game plays as a hidden‑role deduction and voting engine: each round players discuss, investigate, and vote to execute suspects while infected players secretly work to spread the parasite or eliminate the healthy crew. Special events and a possible third faction introduce shifting loyalties, and rounds resolve with missions, inspections, and night actions that reveal or conceal identities. Victory is achieved when one faction eliminates the others or when specific endgame conditions tied to infection and sanity are met.
