Killer Inn is Square Enix’s new ‘murder mystery action’ game

Square Enix just announced Killer Inn, a new “murder mystery action” game, as part of Summer Game Fest on Friday.

In a Killer Inn match, 24 players are divided into two teams of “wolves” and “lambs,” and it’s the job of the lambs to discover and kill all the wolves or for the wolves to kill the lambs. (Just to be clear, you play as humans, but with the title of wolves or lambs.) When wolves kill a lamb, they’ll leave clues like a piece of hair or clothing that the lambs can use to try and identify the wolves.

Killer Inn is coming to PC, and it will be getting a closed beta “soon.” You can apply for the beta on the game’s Steam page.

It looks like an interesting take on a murder mystery video game, especially if you are looking for something new to play with your friends after following the popularity of Among Us.
