In Blood on the Clocktower, the quiet village of Ravenswood Bluff is shaken by a gruesome murder: the local storyteller is found impaled on the clocktower. A demon is on the loose, killing by night and disguising itself among the townsfolk by day. The village divides into Good and Evil teams, aiming to discover and execute the demon before it and its evil minions outnumber the innocent citizens.

One player takes on the role of Storyteller, guiding the action and making crucial decisions, which allows the game to be played without the need for a physical board. During the day, players talk openly, secretly exchange information, or spread lies, culminating in the execution of someone the majority suspects of being evil. At night, everyone closes their eyes, and the Storyteller wakes players one by one to gather information, cause mischief, or commit murders.

What makes Blood on the Clocktower special is that no one is truly eliminated: even if your character is killed, you remain in the game as a ghost, trying to influence the outcome. And if someone arrives late, they can join the game as a Traveler, a powerful character with unique abilities and questionable allegiances. With a vast array of characters, each with a special ability, every game is a unique experience full of twists and turns. Get ready for lots of bluffing, deduction, and negotiation!
