1692, North America. Salem Village, New England. After a certain incident, the residents of Salem were enthralled by the devil as a result of a pessimistic atmosphere covering the village and a situation in which they suspected each other. I can only say that the devil was actually there, but it was because the spirit of the devil was hidden in the village people, not because the spirit of the devil was hidden in them. A few months later, fear, lies, and fanatical beliefs ripped through the village of devout Puritans.
The inhabitants of Salem now know that there is hell around them.
『 Salem 』 is a game that drives the air of paranoid doubt that captured the village of Salem.
Players believe that witches lurk in them and act (and are in this game).
Each player controls six residents of Salem. Three of the six residents are witches. The game is simple. Remove the witch from the village and leave behind your own secret inhabitants. The game took four rounds -- from June to September 1692 -- and each round represented an actual month during which Salem's madness reached its peak.
Each round is divided into two parts. Witch hunt and witch trial.
And then there's the hanging. (In the actual Salem witches trial, four people were killed that year.)
During a witch hunt, the player sends the rest of the population into the dungeon an alibi for the rest of the population.
At the end of each round, residents who are sent to prison will be brought to justice.
Players have to consult and decide who will be beheaded and released.
The player who best selects the witch from the villagers becomes the winner.
Although the Witch Trial of Salem is a legendary incident, it is not a fictional incident.
All of the Character actors in the game are there at that time, and they are modeled after real people who lived and had tragic experiences. Through careful research, the 42 characters speak with a realistic background.
The game focuses on events in Salem Village, Massachusetts, but similar witch-in Maine to the north and Connecticut to the far west. Surely, the devil was in New England.
It's a slightly fanatical game about the most famous mass hysteria in history that has influenced various horror novels and movies since then.
