5 Best Multiplayer Games Like Eville

Picture this; You live in a village where everyone, including your neighbor, is out to get you. It's not the friendliest of places to call home, but it's one heck of an adventure you don't want to miss out on. VestGames' Eville is an indie multiplayer game hell-bent on deception. If you enjoy a cup of mystery and deception, you're at home with Eville.

Set in the village of Eville, you can play as a conspirator or a villager. Your role is to skillfully deduce who the conspirator is before the other villagers rule you out. The game uses real-time gameplay for an immersive social deduction experience. In such a scenario, betrayal doesn't sound so bad. 

If this game excites you, you should try out other similar games that'll have you rack your brain over who the impostor/conspirator is. Here are the five best multiplayer games like Eville.

5. Goose Goose Duck

Who knew playing as a duck could be so much fun? Goose Goose Duck is a 2D social deduction game that involves two primary factions; geese and ducks. The game plays like “Among Us,” where the geese are on a mission on the SS Mother Goose ship. The crew has to work together to keep the ship up and running. However, unbeknownst to them, a group of deceptive ducks is trying to stop them. While you'll have your hands full with the mission, you'll still need to keep an eye out for the geese.

Playing as a duck, your main role is to sabotage the mission by eliminating all geese. You can do this by ejecting, eliminating, or killing all geese and having a duck majority when voting. Alternatively, you can call a critical sabotage, which ends the mission if it's not resolved on time. If this doesn't work, you can play the deceitful hand and manipulate other members into voting out the ducks.

Moreover, the game has plenty to offer with its various game modes. If you're bored of the duck hunt, you can switch to the classic mode that pits the geese against a duck on a timed mission. Goose Goose Duck is a solid game with a boatload of fun.

4. Deceit

Deceit is another multiplayer social-deduction game like Eville. The game adds a layer of horror and gore where players are trapped with infected individuals. As the game starts, five players wake up in a strange room. The game randomly chooses the infected and the innocents. The innocents must find a way out of the building using the safety hatch while watching out for the infected. On the other hand, the infected hunt down the innocents.

The action-filled game tests how good you are at reading people. You'll have no information about your teammates at first, but you'll get to learn more as you progress. Then you can decide to team up or fight them. Moreover, the game provides weapons across the map. However, you must decide which weapon is suitable since you can only arm yourself with one.

If you're a horror fan, you'll definitely relish this part. The infected can transform into terrifying beasts with better vision and speed. This comes in handy when hunting down the innocent.

3. Town of Salem

In a town filled with arsonists and murderers, who can you trust? Perhaps your instincts will do you good. Town of Salem is a classic game of deception where players have to deduce who the villains are. The game plays like Eville, except that it has more unique roles that offer solid replayability. 

Players are divided into townsfolk, serial killers, mafia, or neutrals. The game's host chooses how many roles the game will have, and then players are randomly assigned to them. If you play as the townsfolk, you must hunt down the villains before they maim you. As for the villains, your role is to hunt and eliminate the neutrals and town members.

The games are split into two phases; day and night. During the day, the townsfolk discuss whom they perceive to be the villains. Once they reach a consensus, a voting trial ensues, and a player will be voted out. In the night phase, the villains come out to play. Other roles, such as sheriff and doctor, become active at night. The intriguing part about the game is that you can plead your innocence before the mob declares you guilty. The game ends after a faction achieves its mission.

2. Dread Hunger

A sea voyage holds multiple deadly possibilities. Your ship could sink, pirates may attack, or, worse off, you may face hunger. Dread Hunger is one such game that builds the scene of an unforgiving path as eight explorers embark on a journey across the icy arctic. With such perilous conditions, the players turn against each other, with two seeking out dark powers to defeat their mates.

The game has eight roles: the chef, the hunter, the chaplain, the royal marine, the impostor, the captain, the doctor, and the engineer. As the ship's captain, your role is to keep the ship going and feed your crew members. However, keep in mind that an impostor lurks among you. Moreover, you can also play as the impostor Thrall. The game's tutorial lets you play all the roles except for the imposter to get a feel for the gameplay. 

By now, you get the gist of this genre; trust no one except yourself. With deception on everyone's mind, you must give your teammate reasonable doubt that you're not the double-crosser.

1. Among Us

Taking over the top spot is the famous Among Us, whose commercial success has paved the way for other games to rise in the genre. The multiplayer game separates players into two factions, the imposters and the crewmates. The latter has the role of completing menial tasks to keep the spaceship they're on in tip-top shape, while the former do their best to jeopardize their mission.

As easy as it may seem, you must watch for malicious impostors who use ventilation ducts to kill crewmates. Once a body is spotted, crewmates discuss who the likely impostor is and vote him out. Players can use voice or in-game chat to figure out the fake crewmate. Moreover, you can use the security cameras on the map to deduce who the murderer is.

Furthermore, the quirky astronaut avatar adds a touch of whimsical art that makes the game refreshingly fun to play. This is one game you will relish, just like Eville.
