You are the voice in the impostor's head.
False Flame is a single-player social deduction thriller where you don't play the hero, you are the mastermind influencing a pair of impostors.By day, blend in among the faithful to build trust and alibis while scheming coordinated assassination and sabotage. By night, argue your defense... or pin the blame on the innocent.
Your goal isn't to survive combat. It's to survive judgment… long enough to orchestrate the perfect execution.
Day Phase: Wear the Mask
Possess one cultist at a time with full direct control, while the other operates autonomously. Coordinate both like a puppeteer with two marionettes and one set of strings. Use text, voice, or button input controls to send discreet commands to your AI partner. Swap bodies to execute flawless schemes.Build social capital in public. Create alibis by staying seen. Then spend that credibility on crimes that leave the colony staring at anyone but you.
Use your abilities to:
- Stage convenient accidents
- Plant rumors that become someone else's problem
- Sabotage the colony's economy and defenses
- Cause a distraction, then strike when witnesses can't agree on what they saw
Night Phase: Gaslight the Court
When the sun dies, the Tribunal convenes.Accusations are based on memories of witnessed events, rumors, and relationships. Defend or denounce the accused in court to swing the votes.
After the verdict, see who voted which way and why. Learn the colony's logic… then exploit it next night.
Trust is the Resource. Betrayal is the Score.
In False Flame, the most valuable kills aren't the easiest ones.They're the ones nobody saw coming.
The more trusted the victim, the more your Ascension grows. Turn friends into trophies. You must marinate the innocent over the course of a run before securing the kill, if you hope to win before time runs out.
