3D Multiplayer Social Deduction Game Throne of Lies Seeking Funds on Kickstarter

LAS VEGAS - Jan. 19, 2017 - PRLog -- Imperium42's Throne of Lies: The Online Game of Lies & Deceit -- an online multiplayer game where social deduction skills are everything -- is now on Kickstarter seeking $20,000 in completion funds. How far are you willing to go to deceive friend and foe alike? What will you do (or not do) to secure the throne?

So far, Imperium42 Game Studio has raised $5,827 of a $20,000 funding goal. The campaign is set to end on February 24, and has been selected as Kickstarter's Project We Love. Throne of Lies is expected to arrive later in 2017. Steam users can also vote in the game's Steam Greenlight entry.

The objective in Throne of Lies is simple: Discover who can be trusted ... and dispose of the rest. Corrupt royals are welcomed into the golden halls of the mysterious Castle Adiart -- while exiles are thrown into a desolate wasteland never to be seen again. Should the Good King of Blue Dragon remain on the throne -- or should the Corrupt King of Black Rose take the throne instead?

To achieve victory, deploy the most valuable weapon of all: your wit. In online sessions of up to 15 players, you must decide who to befriend, deceive, and destroy to make it out alive. Alliances will be formed, assassinations will be planned, and betrayal will come to light -- even with trusted allies. Every playthrough brings a new, unique, and intense multiplayer experience :)

Players begin their journey in Castle Adiart, where they are randomly assigned to one of the four factions:

• Blue Dragon - which relies on investigators to determine who is friend … and who is foe
• Black Rose - which can identify other members and communicate at night
• Neutral - which have a unique objective but cannot communicate at night
• Cult - which can recruit members from other factions and communicate at night with other members (with the exception of the Black Rose faction)

With more than 100 class abilities (e.g, Distract, Construct Reality, Bind Soul) and 30+ different class combinations to choose from, it's easy to craft unique and effective strategies to further your claim to the throne.

With an intricate Day and Night phase system, Throne of Lies features different events that can take place depending on the time of day and a player's faction. During the Day, players can discuss, accuse, and execute those who may be guilty of committing treason. At Night, secret meetings and murder can take place! If your faction wins, you gain "gp" (gold) and "xp" (experience) -- which unlock new skins, weapons, armor, auras, and more.

Unfortunately for the living, dead men do tell tales in Throne of Lies. The dead can keep enjoying the game by revealing deaths, chatting with other dead players, and playing a mini-game to reveal information to the living.

"If you like strategy or role-playing games such as Werewolf/Mafia or even Sherlock Holmes, you'll love playing Throne of Lies with your friends."
