Lycans for Windows

Quick summary

Lycans is a multiplayer strategy title for Windows that supports up to ten players. Participants are split into ordinary villagers and hidden werewolves. During daytime rounds, players collect evidence and question one another; at night, the werewolves hunt, forcing the others to protect themselves and outwit their opponents.

Core mechanics

• Player count: up to 10 people on a single server, Windows platform.
• Roles: villagers try to survive and expose impostors; werewolves secretly eliminate targets after dark.
• Phases: alternating day phases for investigation and voting, and night phases when attacks occur.

Daytime — search, discuss, decide

By daylight, the focus is on observation and deduction. Players exchange clues, follow leads, and use logic to single out suspicious behavior. Cooperative communication and persuasive arguments are crucial to steering the group toward the right verdict.

Nighttime — stealth and survival

When night falls, the hidden predators strike. Those assigned the werewolf role move covertly and attempt to thin the opposition, while villagers who survive must lie low or employ defensive tactics to increase their chances of lasting until morning.

Why players keep coming back

Lycans blends social deduction with survival strategy, rewarding critical thinking and adaptability. Each match unfolds differently depending on player choices and alliances, so strategies must evolve and no two rounds feel exactly the same.
