This Conspirator has been dying to meet you! The Necromancer is a community-voted Conspirator that may summon undead minions.
Back on November 16, 2022, we polled the community regarding the next developed Conspirator role. The Necromancer won with 60.1% of the votes followed by Gravedigger at 28.4%, then Informant at 11.5%. At the time of voting, the role was only a sketch & an idea. Then once Necromancer won the community poll - its full development began.
"We're excited to bring you a new role that differs a lot from other conspirator roles. With our poll the community had the choice to decide which type of conspirator role should be added next. Its was going to be an information influencing role (Informant, Gravedigger) or a more effective killing role (Necromancer). The community decided for the latter. We finally could tackle our Necromancer ideas with the work we put into AI previously - remember the Poltergeist and pet additions? The necromancer combines both with reviving undead players and zombie dogs and give you new styles of play for both day and night." - Zale, Lead Developer at VestGames
The Necromancer is a Conspirator that may summon undead minions. Undead minions, be it pets or zombie players, can attack others and help secure kills or create distractions. Necromancers are awake at night, as all conspirators are, and can kill during day and night.
Abilities:
Seed of Undead: Select a dead player who will rise from the dead with a 30-60 second delay. Undead players will attack and chase any players nearby. They are slower than players so you are able to escape them.
Command Undead Patrol: Command all undead to patrol a certain location.
Summon Undead Dog (Passive): At night you will summon an undead dog which will follow you and attack nearby players.
Wrath of the Fallen (Passive): If this player's role is being identified, the investigating player will take damage.

Steam Mystery Fest Sale Going on Now!
Hello, everyone!
Steam is having a Mystery Fest sale, and it just so happens we have 3 mystery-centric games to choose from!
Our first offering is Eville, a multiplayer social deduction game where you find yourself in a village riddled by a series of murders. Some say it might have been you - or was it? Convince others you're not a murderer to stay alive or betray your friends and lie your way to victory.
In a similar vein as Eville is First Class Trouble, a party game where players must work together and against each other to survive a disaster. The goal is to shut down a deadly A.I., but some players are impostors, secretly playing as human-looking killer robots intent on betraying the other players. Whether you do it sober or with a slight buzz, First Class Trouble will serve you a dangerous cocktail of difficult decisions and whacky possibilities.
Our final title for this sale is Hitchhiker, a mystery game set along lost highways where your goal is to solve the puzzle of your own backstory. As a hitchhiker with no memory or destination, you catch a series of rides across a strange and beautiful landscape, tracking the mysterious disappearance of a person close to you. Your drivers range from stoic farmers to off-duty waitresses, and each one has a story to tell. Clues appear, alliances emerge, and nothing is quite what it seems.

Match Reward changes
After the changes to the XP Rewards (see Double XP event news), we've decided to also adjust the Silver Crown rewards. You will now receive 10 Crowns after losing a match, and 25 Silver Crowns after you win, as before. The daily cap has been removed and replaced with a weekly cap, so you will receive rewards even in very long sessions, where you would hit the daily cap after 4 wins before this update. Matches that are shorter than 5 minutes will no longer reward Crowns.

Winter Fest Event ❄️
The event brings new cosmetics, decorations, home furniture customization & more. 🏠🎄🧊
The village of Eville, main menu and tavern are decorated for the festive season and are covered in snow!
Mysterious Ice Cubes - Luckily, most of the heavily traversed pathways have been cleared for your safety, but the removal of snow piles in the area has brought Mysterious Ice Cubes to surface. Those brave enough to investigate these may even find the following useful items to aid them along their journey:
Patches of Ice - Watch your step! Puddles of melted snow have frozen over, creating slippery areas around the village that could send you sliding into danger.
Ice Walls - Unusual weather patterns have created icy barricades that will block your path. Don’t worry, though! They’ll melt over time, allowing you to resume your preferred route through the village.
Ice Traps - Beware nightfall, as temperatures drop below freezing, creating perilous traps. Step on one, and you’ll be frozen in place for a few seconds, which could mean life or death for someone on the run!
We hope you enjoy Eville's Winter Fest that is live now through January 10th, 2023. Happy holidays & season's greetings from all of us at VestGames & Versus Evil!
