Town of Salem

It's really fun, a great social game! I just wish it was more popular. I feel like the only folks who play this game nowadays are people who played the browser version back when they were in high school.

I've owned this game since launch, before the game was Free to Play. I paid money for this. I have played over 500 games, and my account was banned for having an inappropriate name. No review, no appeal, just arbitrary banning. All my scrolls lost. All my progression.

Gave therapy to a racist troll while waiting for the game to start, unique experience to say the least!

UPDATE: I GOT BANNED FOR GAMETHROW? WHAT? ♥♥♥♥ THIS GAME Your servers and lobbies are FULL OF BOTS What are you doing? people PAY to play this? What a joke of a company. U make Town of Salem 2 , its A FLOP and now u let this fill with bots Shame ON YOU

dead game xd

I thought I'd play a few rounds for nostalgia's sake but ranked games don't seem to work at all and the "Ranked Practice" lobbies are just unhappy people intentionally losing while tossing around slurs. Reporting doesn't seem to do anything. Playing against bots would be better. Edit: I played some more, still the same. I leave it on sometimes just as a sort of chat room where people kill each other but unfortunately it doesn't run very well on mac despite the simple 2D graphics. Animations freeze up entirely and I can't even type when anything is moving. Macbook M1 Pro with 64gb unified memory.

If you had asked me a good few years ago after this game came out, I would have recommended it 200%. Absolutely bonkers amount of fun, with fast games and a decent community who could strategize and feint you out. I have quite a few wins as all the roles, including the evil and neutral ones, just by having a good poker face and knowing what to say. Since the release of ToS2 though, which I feel was a failed attempt to get people re-invested (and to milk money) this game's community has now been split between those who remained on ToS1 and those who migrated to ToS2. Unfortunately, ToS1 nowadays is bordering on dead, even though there's a free version accessible through Discord activities. Lobbies take a solid few minutes to even get the 15 players to start, and every time there will be at least 1-3 players who disconnect immediately. Even Chaos - All Any is not much better, even though it seems to be the main mode nowadays. A lot of players I have played with over Discord have said the game is plagued by bots and the majority of the 18000-20000 players it claims are online are AFK or Bots, which does coincide with the fact is says only 30-40 actual matches are ongoing at a given time (40*15 = 6000, not even close to the 18000 it claims online). I would normally say it's an exaggeration, but here I believe it. Barely anyone talks in chat, and as soon as they get taken-out or lynched, they just disconnect. Even actual players don't seem to care about finishing-out matches now, probably because the monetisation is pushed incredibly hard, and the free currency you get is pitiful. What this leads to is roles like the Medium being completely useless, because you can't do anything, leading to incredibly dull games, where you'll want to just AFK/DC or tell one of the evils to get it over with, which just perpetuates the cycle. I have 60 hours on record, as I used to love this game so much, and had so much fun with it, but I played 3-4 games over Discord with a couple friends, then a bunch of bots/randos, and it was more tedious than it was fun.
