Digital Shadows: Mafia

Digital Shadows turns any gathering into a social deduction game — no host, no cards, no dice required. One phone passes hand to hand and handles everything: secret roles, night actions, debate timer, and match history. ━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━ 5 to 15 players sit in a circle. The app assigns secret roles, runs the night phase (each player uses their ability unseen), and reveals a dawn report with kills, saves, and public events. The group debates, votes, and eliminates a suspect. Repeat until the Town or the Mafia wins. ━━ ANTI-CHEAT SYSTEMS ━━ The biggest enemy of Mafia is metagaming — unintentional cheating through screen time, phone light, or tap sounds. Digital Shadows solves this with four layers: • Minimum screen time — everyone holds the phone equally long, guilty or not. • Mandatory dummy action — every player taps the screen, masking who actually acts. • Strict dark mode — black night UI leaves no face or glasses reflection. • Continuous soundtrack — suspense audio covers physical tap sounds on the glass. ━━ 17 ROLES WITH UNIQUE MECHANICS ━━ TOWN • Detective — secretly investigates a suspect's faction each night. • Doctor — protects a player from being killed that round. • Witch — heals the Mafia's target or poisons another; each potion used only once. • Blacksmith — forges a one-use shield that blocks a tribunal elimination. • Chemist — analyzes a suspect; faction revealed publicly at dawn. • Engineer — installs a trap that cancels the Mafia attack if they pick the same target. • Herbalist — cures poison or uses a sedative to nullify one vote at tribunal. • Tavern Keeper — hosts players, shielding them from the Mafia invisibly. • The Drunk — redirects a target's night action to a random player. • The Noble — mandatory escort every turn; blocks attacks and poison. • Royal Forester Archer — fires one arrow; kills at dawn if target is Mafia. MAFIA • Killer — picks the night target; ties resolved automatically by the app. • Thief — steals one-time abilities from Town roles to use against them. • Corrupt Noble — grants diplomatic immunity to one ally at tribunal (once). • Executioner — one kill that bypasses all Town protection. • Thug — kidnaps a player, silencing them and blocking their tribunal vote. NEUTRAL • Jester — wins if eliminated by the tribunal. Fools everyone. ━━ APP FEATURES ━━ • Three difficulty modes: Simple, Balanced, and Advanced (more special roles). • Configurable role reveal on elimination. • Full match history saved locally. • Supports pt-BR, English, and Español. • No ads.
