As KILLER INN enters the Early Access stage of its development, the development team will actively seek player input to further refine the game ahead of its official release. From the start of Early Access, players can purchase one of the following versions of the game on Steam:

●      Standard Edition (limited-time discounted) – Includes the base game, available at an 10% discount off the Early Access price of AUD$14.95 for a limited time. After two weeks of the discount period, the Standard Edition will be available at the regular Early Access price of AUD$14.95

In KILLER INN, 24 players are invited to a mysterious castle by a shadowy organization known as Astra to compete to win unfathomable riches. They will be randomly and secretly assigned one of two roles: Wolves, whose mission is to hunt and kill, and Lambs, who must fight back and survive the mayhem or escape the castle. Players must use every weapon, tool and clue in their arsenal to survive and win. With the killers hiding in plain sight, players will need to question everything—even their closest allies. By the end of the night, all players must kill, be killed, or escape the madness.

KILLER INN is provisionally rated M (Mature) by the ESRB, PEGI-18, and MA15+ by the ACB, and is developed by Tactic Studios and published by SQUARE ENIX in collaboration with TBS GAMES. For more information, visit: https://www.square-enix.com/killer-inn/
