Explore a New Narrative-Driven Social Deduction Roleplaying Game

BACK THE KICKSTARTER NOW

"One of Us Will Die," a new social deduction tabletop roleplaying game, launched on Kickstarter on April 14, 2026, and reached its funding goal in less than two hours. The game has attracted attention from tabletop gaming communities for its emphasis on narrative elements and character-focused gameplay, aiming to offer an experience centered on suspense and decision-making.

Revenant tier, the Kickstarter's featured package, includes all the game's accessories: Hardcover and PDF versions of the game, Director and Player screens, secret role cards, dry erase character sheets and a credit in the book.

Every session begins with an intriguing twist: one player secretly knows their character’s fate, setting the stage for mystery and investigation. From the first moment, the table is alive with speculation, strategy, and emotional storytelling. The streamlined rules, minimal math, evocative archetype-driven character sheets, and creative world-building prompts let players dive deep into the narrative, focusing on decisions and character interactions.

Inspired by fan favorites like BOTC, The Resistance, and Secret Hitler, "One of Us Will Die" offers a fresh take on social deduction, with a strong emphasis on personal story arcs and dramatic tension. Players move through the game by unraveling secrets, confronting moral dilemmas, and navigating moments of electrifying conflict. As suspicion builds, so does the sense of meaningful engagement, every action could shape the outcome.

Daniel Comerci's use of negative space invokes the feeling of emptiness painted by grief, granting an emotional sting to every piece of art. It's like what isn't there is just as important as what is.

True Narrative Focus

The full version now includes campaign mode, expanding far beyond the earlier Lite edition. Campaigns give players the chance to develop their characters over multiple sessions, growing closer to their roles as they achieve goals focused on personality and story. Rather than overcoming challenges or defeating enemies, progress is measured by the depth and growth of your character. Each campaign ends with the loss of a character, making the journey memorable and giving each session real impact.

The Magician archetype does not necessarily use magic. It is a study on how power and ego drive individuals to either heroism or madness.

At the time of this announcement, "One of Us Will Die" has already achieved its eighth stretch goal, with even more waiting to be unlocked. This milestone is a testament to the excitement and support from the community, showing that players are eager for innovative, story-rich tabletop experiences.
