About the game
What you do in a play session
Imagine being locked in your house with your family, but with the agonizing doubt of whether the person sitting next to you is actually your cousin or an intergalactic parasite with implanted memories. That's exactly the chaos of Rick and Morty: Total Rickall! Based on the episode of the same name, the game puts players in an absurd situation where the goal is to clear the house of imposters pretending to be loved ones. If you've never seen the show, don't worry: the fun is guaranteed anyway, but watching the episode makes the experience even more hilarious. Don't be a Jerry and jump into the madness!
The game is quite flexible. If you're looking for something more straightforward, there's the basic cooperative mode, where everyone works together to identify and exterminate the parasites before they take over. Now, if you enjoy a bit of suspicion and betrayal, the advanced mode is where the real magic happens. In this mode, each player is dealt a hidden role: you are either a Real family member or an infiltrating Parasite. While the 'Reals' try to purge the house, the 'Parasites' must ensure at least one of their kind survives until the end.
The dynamics are frantic and full of twists. You can shoot other players, but be careful: accidentally eliminating a Real player comes with consequences. The best part is that there is no permanent player elimination; however, your secret identity might change during the game, keeping everyone on their toes. It's a game of deduction, memory, and plenty of bluffing, perfect for those who love to laugh while trying to figure out who is lying to their face. Get ready for heated arguments, mental confusion, and plenty of chaotic fun within the surrealist theme of Rick and Morty.
