Start from the official itch.io page, choose the paid Windows or Linux build, then use the free No Gameplay Demo to test mic detection, recording, and playback before adding Packs.
Use the developer's page for the paid game and the free No Gameplay Demo. Do not use a page that claims to host the paid build for free.
The full game is listed at $5 USD or more; the Demo exists to test microphone compatibility.
The official listing provides Windows and Linux downloads. Select the file that matches the machine that will run the game night.
A Linux file opened on Windows is not an audio problem. Stop and download the matching build instead.
Select your intended input and output devices, then test microphone detection before purchasing or copying Pack folders.
The Demo is a compatibility check, not a playable substitute for the full game.
Verify that the game saves a recording and that the recording is audible through the output you expect. Live mic monitoring alone is not enough.
If detection, recording, or playback fails, use the matching troubleshooting branch before adding Packs.
Install a single tested Pack, restart the game, and run a short round. Keeping the first change small makes rollback possible.
Ready for a first round
Before you buy
These answers are kept short so the runbook remains the primary path for a first installation.
Next step
Players usually hit problems after skipping the demo or installing Packs before checking microphone playback. Keep the first run simple and add one Pack only after audio works.
