Oh, dear me. Poor ol’ Henry spent the night hacking up a lung again. It seems he’s suffering from a nasty bout of poisoned apple. At least, that’s what the village’s medicine man reckons. Think you could run along and pick some mage’s blossom from the meadow? We’ve got bodies stacked a mile high with all that midnight-murderin’ business, and only you can stop it from climbing any further.
If natural healing remedies aren’t exactly your forte, worry not — there are plenty of quests around town to help you find your footing in Eville, the mischievous medieval-themed social deduction game from independent developer VestGames! In today’s new trailer, players will get a close-up look at some of the quests — helpful tasks that provide a bit of direction to anyone not immediately familiar with the medieval serfdom lifestyle.
Quests are vital to maintaining (or disrupting) the peace in Eville. Sure, completing them will grant players rewards like coins for the markets, but compensation and boons vary depending on whether you’re a Villager or Conspirator. The “Full-Moon” quest event, for example, lets villagers get up in the dead of night and find a suitable place to hide from any evil-doers predisposed to stick them with a blade’s pointy end. Conversely, the “Fog” event quest envelopes the village in a thick, damn-near impenetrable fog during the day — an ideal setting for any conspirator looking to check off daylight-killing from their bucket list.

Fancy a crash course on herbalism? Well, Richard, a local eccentric scaredy-cat, is in dire need of a protective potion and wants you to gather the materials — you’ll have to part with some coin to get them, though. Or perhaps you’re looking to get into culinary arts? No problem, Steward knows precisely what goes into a mean mushroom stew. Whatever the quest might entail, be ready to wipe sweat from your brow. Ye olde community is only as strong as the folk that support it, so it’s time to shoulder some of that weight!
Set in a once-tranquil medieval village, Eville features several character roles, each with its own unique abilities, purchasable items, and toolkit upgrades. Stepping into the shoes of either an ill-fated Villager or wicked Conspirator, players must work through a delightfully comprehensive yet intuitive system of murder, deception, betrayal, teamwork, and eventually, crowd-sourced public executions — hopefully of those with the intent to kill! Combining the most exciting elements of titles like Among Us and One Night Ultimate Werewolf, Eville takes the social deduction genre to exciting new heights.
Eville will be available for PC via Steam in Early Access in 2021.
