A “sometimes cooperative” game of trust, betrayal, and survival.

Mantis Falls is a tense, story-driven game of hidden roles and strategy for 2–3 players, set in a shadowy, mob-controlled town. As a witness to something you weren’t supposed to see, your only goal is to make it out alive. They say you won’t be walking alone... but can you really trust your companion?

Each game could be a true team effort, where all players are Witnesses and must cooperate to survive the deadly night. Or, hidden among you, there might be an Assassin—posing as a friend, waiting for just the right moment to strike.

With themes pulled straight from the world of film noir, Mantis Falls blends hand management, bluffing, and facedown card play to build tension and suspense. You’ll need to talk through your moves, defend your decisions, and stay sharp—because deception can be just as dangerous as what lurks on the road ahead.

Sometimes it’s cooperative. Sometimes it’s not. The trick is figuring out which—before it's too late.
