The First KILLER INN Closed Beta Test Is Underway!

We’re thrilled to announce that KILLER INN’s first closed beta test started today!

Schedule

Those who have been granted access to the test will receive an email notification from Steam, after which they will be able to download the application and launch the game. If you receive an email, make sure it was sent from the official Steam domain before clicking any links.

This closed beta test is primarily being conducted to test network services. For this reason, testers will be added gradually as the servers become ready. Even if you haven’t received an email yet, you may still gain access during the test period, so please keep an eye out for emails from Steam Playtest.

KILLER INN is still in development, so you may experience unexpected issues, network latency, or performance drops. Also, we’re currently working on tutorials that guide you through KILLER INN’s unique game rules and mechanics, but these will not be included in this beta test. So, before jumping into this dangerous game of death, we recommend familiarizing yourself with its ins and outs.

Q6. How many closed beta tests will you do?

• We’re planning to do several closed beta tests, each bigger than the last. We want as many players to experience the game as possible.

• No, there are no confidentiality requirements. As long as you observe the Guidelines, you are free to stream, capture, and make content however you like!

Q8. Will there be any differences between the beta test versions and the final version?

• Any aspect of the game, from its design to even minor details, may be changed or tweaked. One clear difference is that in the closed beta tests, you can select any character from the start. In the release version, you’ll unlock characters as you play the game, with around half of them initially locked.

Q9. Is chat required to enjoy the game?

• No, both voice and text chat are optional. The game is designed to be fun even without them, but it’s definitely a big part of KILLER INN’s appeal. A lively chat makes the game more engaging and really stirs things up!

• Private Matches, in which you can host matches with just your friends, will not be included in this beta test.

Q12. What are the system requirements to play the closed beta?

• Closed Beta System Requirements (Minimum)

• Closed Beta System Requirements (Recommended)

Q13. Is KILLER INN similar to other social deduction games like “werewolf” or “mafia”?

• While there are social deduction elements in KILLER INN, there is no discussion or voting to eliminate players, which means you don’t have to get too into the weeds about things.

Q14. Do the wolves win by eliminating all the lambs, and vice versa?

• Yup! Take out everyone on the other team to win. That being said, the lambs can also win if they collect all the keys, open the gate to the harbor, and escape on the ship.

Q15. What determines whether I’m a wolf or a lamb?

• Players are randomly assigned the role of either a wolf or a lamb, and each starts the game in their own guest room.

• Lambs cannot tell who the wolves or other lambs are. Wolves, on the other hand, can see each player's role via icons next to their usernames. Wolves must not reveal their true identity.

Q16. How many wolves and how many lambs are there?

• This closed beta test is a 24-player experience. Out of the 24, 8 are wolves and 16 are lambs.

Q17. How should I play the game?

• Whether you're a wolf or a lamb, your goal is to eliminate the opposing team. At the start of the game, focus on collecting weapons and items to help you fight. Talk to the staff to receive quests, and use the tokens you earn from these quests to open chests and gather equipment.

Q18. What should I do as a wolf?

• Blend in with the lambs while collecting weapons and items. Search for lone lambs and strike when the opportunity presents itself!

Q19. What should I do as a lamb?

• Gather weapons and items to fight against the wolves. If you come across a corpse, be sure to collect their clues! They are key to narrowing down who the wolves are. The more clues you gather, the easier it becomes to identify the wolves.

• If you’re confident someone is a wolf, take them out. You can also sell clues to the staff to share it with others, and earn gold and XP. Work together and gather as many clues as possible!

Q20. Can I just take out anyone suspicious?

• Not if you want to stay in the game! If a lamb tries to kill another lamb, it's considered a bad guess, and the attacker is removed from the game.

Q21. Can a wolf avoid suspicion by not killing anyone?

• No. Clues hinting at the wolves’ identities can also be found on “Sacrifices”—corpses already present at the start of the game.

Q22. Do I need deduction and communication skills to win?

• These can give an advantage. However, it's also possible to gain an edge through action game or shooter game skills, not just communication.

Ｑ23. Where are the game’s servers located?

• We have servers in North America, Europe, and Asia. You will automatically be connected to servers in the region nearest you.

Q24. My character has gotten stuck on a building/door and can’t move. Help!

• We apologize for the inconvenience. We are taking every effort during development to prevent this kind of issue, but should your character become stuck, try using the “/unstuck” command.

1. Press [Enter] to open chat window

2. Type “/unstuck”

3. Press [Enter] again

If this doesn’t resolve the issue, then you will have to leave the game from the pause menu. You will receive no penalty for doing so. Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience.
