[ 2020-11-24 17:33:02 CET ] [ Original post ] Current progress and the future of PretendHello, Whitesquare here.
We can't express how happy we are!
First of all, because the game has gotten more attention than we could ever wish, and secondly because we've got a lot of criticism that would help us build a game you like.
Pretend is a project started by a small group of students, that wasn't meant for public release, but after many suggestions, we saw an opportunity to bring players a concept they love with additional cool features.
We had to overcome many difficulties during development because we are new to making games for the public, and we had relatively big goals.
It is necessary to mention that the development process is very active but slow - because it is hard to study and work on the game at the same time.
Now, we are working hard to port the game to Android, iOS, and browser, implement all the cool ideas that we received during the pre-release stage and fix the tremendous amount of bugs.
Here's a list of things we plan to add before or during early access:
- Leveling system
- Steam invitations and overall API integration
- Roles - and at the same keep the game balanced
- Own cosmetics, that you can draw and wear.
- Local servers. Currently unavailable because the connections are peer-to-peer and require connection to a signaling server.
- Browser support.
- New maps with new sabotages.
- And many more
We also can't ignore the hate that comes towards us - blaming the fact that Pretend is heavily based on another popular title. As mentioned above, we do everything that is possible to bring players a new experience with familiar gameplay mechanics (and we need your ideas !).
Pretend is currently in development and we hope to release the game as soon as possible. The original release date was set for November, but we still aren't sure considering the amount of work left.
Stay tuned!
[ 2020-11-17 19:31:07 CET ] [ Original post ] Pretend is an arcade game, an adaptation of the classic party games Mafia and Werewolf. It is a game of murder, accusations, deceit, and survival.
Play with 4-15 players online or via the local network, as you attempt to uncover who pretends to be a worker - by completing tasks and discussing with other co-workers.
How to Play
Pretend Has 2 Unique Roles.
Before a game starts, players are put into a lobby. Players are then assigned roles randomly from the start. Players have an in-game role card that explains their role's abilities and alignments.
Each role has specific goals, and they are listed below -

You are sent by a large software company into the office of a small indie group - and your main goal is to destroy them and prevent the release of their software.- Kill the employees to destroy the company.
- Pretend to run tasks and avoid getting exposed.
- Sneak through ventilation, to move faster.
- Sabotage, in order to cause chaos.

You are a hard-working fellow, whose main goal is to finish developing the software by completing tasks or find out who is pretending to be an employee.- Complete tasks in order to develop the software and win.
- Find out who the pretender is, by discussing and analyzing other employees
- Use security cameras and other tools in order to expose the pretender.
- Chat and vote out the suspected pretender.
- Eat food and go to the toilet to ensure a good daily routine.
And more roles coming soon...
