• [p]Closed Beta System Requirements (Minimum)[/p]

[p][/p]

• [p]Closed Beta System Requirements (Recommended)[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Q13. Is KILLER INN similar to other social deduction games like “werewolf” or “mafia”?[/p]

• [p]While there are social deduction elements in KILLER INN, there is no discussion or voting to eliminate players, which means you don’t have to get too into the weeds about things.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Q14. Do the wolves win by eliminating all the lambs, and vice versa?[/p]

• [p]Yup! Take out everyone on the other team to win. That being said, the lambs can also win if they collect all the keys, open the gate to the harbor, and escape on the ship.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Q15. What determines whether I’m a wolf or a lamb?[/p]

• [p]Players are randomly assigned the role of either a wolf or a lamb, and each starts the game in their own guest room.[/p]
• [p]Lambs cannot tell who the wolves or other lambs are. Wolves, on the other hand, can see each player's role via icons next to their usernames. Wolves must not reveal their true identity.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Q16. How many wolves and how many lambs are there?[/p]

• [p]This closed beta test is a 24-player experience. Out of the 24, 8 are wolves and 16 are lambs.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Q17. How should I play the game?[/p]

• [p]Whether you're a wolf or a lamb, your goal is to eliminate the opposing team. At the start of the game, focus on collecting weapons and items to help you fight. Talk to the staff to receive quests, and use the tokens you earn from these quests to open chests and gather equipment.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Q18. What should I do as a wolf?[/p]

• [p]Blend in with the lambs while collecting weapons and items. Search for lone lambs and strike when the opportunity presents itself![/p]

[p][/p][p]Q19. What should I do as a lamb?[/p]

• [p]Gather weapons and items to fight against the wolves. If you come across a corpse, be sure to collect their clues! They are key to narrowing down who the wolves are. The more clues you gather, the easier it becomes to identify the wolves.[/p]
• [p]If you’re confident someone is a wolf, take them out. You can also sell clues to the staff to share it with others, and earn gold and XP. Work together and gather as many clues as possible![/p]

[p][/p][p]Q20. Can I just take out anyone suspicious?[/p]

• [p]Not if you want to stay in the game! If a lamb tries to kill another lamb, it's considered a bad guess, and the attacker is removed from the game.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Q21. Can a wolf avoid suspicion by not killing anyone?[/p]

• [p]No. Clues hinting at the wolves’ identities can also be found on “Sacrifices”—corpses already present at the start of the game.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Q22. Do I need deduction and communication skills to win?[/p]

• [p]These can give an advantage. However, it's also possible to gain an edge through action game or shooter game skills, not just communication.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Ｑ23. Where are the game’s servers located?[/p]

• [p]We have servers in North America, Europe, and Asia. You will automatically be connected to servers in the region nearest you.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Q24. My character has gotten stuck on a building/door and can’t move. Help![/p]

• [p]We apologize for the inconvenience. We are taking every effort during development to prevent this kind of issue, but should your character become stuck, try using the “/unstuck” command.[/p]

1. [p]Press \[Enter] to open chat window[/p]
2. [p]Type “/unstuck”[/p]
3. [p]Press \[Enter] again[/p]

[p]If this doesn’t resolve the issue, then you will have to leave the game from the pause menu. You will receive no penalty for doing so. Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience.[/p][p][/p][p]🐏🐏🐺🐏🐏🐺🐏🐏🐺🐏🐏🐺🐏🐏🐺🐏🐏🐺🐏🐏🐺🐏🐏🐺[/p][p][/p][p]Last but not least, be sure to follow/join our official social media channels so you don’t miss out on all the latest info on KILLER INN![/p]

[p]Here’s a brief introduction to KILLER INN![/p][p][/p][p]First, take a look at these videos:[/p][p]-       Welcome to KILLER INN | Gameplay Introduction[/p][p]-       KILLER INN | Announcement Trailer[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]KILLER INN is an asymmetrical team-based action shooter where players are divided into a small team of killer wolves and a larger team of lambs. Set in a mysterious castle, 24 players take part in a one-night-only murder mystery game. Lambs collect clues left behind by the wolves—such as hair, fingerprints, and fragments of clothing—when they kill, using them to identify the wolves in a battle between detectives and hunters. Experience thrills unlike any other in this unscripted murder mystery action shooter where there are no second chances.[/p][p][/p][h3]What kind of game is KILLER INN?[/h3][p]KILLER INN is a PvP game with mechanics unlike any other.[/p][p]First, let’s go over the main features of KILLER INN![/p][p][/p]

1. [p] 1. KILLER INN is an asymmetrical team-based competitive game where a larger group of lambs faces off against a smaller group of wolves. Each team must reduce the ranks of the other through combat—the team that eliminates the other wins.[/p]
2. [p] The wolves know who their teammates are from the start, but the lambs don’t know who among them are wolves.[/p]
3. [p] Whenever a wolf kills a lamb, they always leave behind at least one clue. Lambs must gather these clues to figure out the identities of the wolves. If you come across a corpse, be sure to pick up whatever clues are on it. This is the most important aspect of the game.[/p][p]
   [/p]
4. [p] You’ll need weapons and armor to survive. By completing quests for staff members in the castle, you’ll earn tokens you can use to open chests. You can also save up gold that you can use to buy items from the shop.[/p]
