Game Description
From 2 to 8 players, The Matriarch is a deadly hide & seek party game where everyone is an imposter. It mixes social guessing with hide-and-seek mechanics and causes Paranoia in all players involved!
BOTs are just programmed to complete their tasks, from milking cows to harvesting potatoes, they don't question the Matriarch's orders!
Goal: Hide from the Matriarch and find the exit
They look like BOTs but are controlled by real players.
- Emulate the BOTs to avoid drawing attention to yourself, when the Matriarch is around.
- Wait for the right opportunity to go underground.
- Dig to find the path that will lead you to the exit.
- Pray that the Matriarch doesn't have you in her radar when the night comes.
Goal: Identify and Sacrifice all the Sinners
Also controlled by a player.
- Patrol the convent and observe the Nuns
- Keep track of those with suspicious behavior...
- ...or be unpredictable and catch them off guard
- Identify and Sacrifice the Sinners
Features
- Customize your games: Experiment with different maps, rounds length, random Matriarch, and more!
- Unlock new sacrifice devices: Giant cross, Guillotine, Pyre, Venomous Snakes...the choice is yours!
- Play on public servers and meet new players, or open up your own private server and play with a group of friends.
- Enjoy free updates that bring more maps and customization options!
