Thank you so much for all the love and support for "Who's Who?" during the few weeks since we've released the game. We know many of you have been curious about our plans for the game, so we would like to share some insights regarding new features and content coming in future updates.
Bug fixes
We apologize to all of the players who have suffered from in-game bugs. We currently have a list of most of the issues, and will be releasing small updates as we fix them. Here are the first batch of fixes that we have planned:
Planned Bug Fixes:
Loading screen bug
Teleport bug
Hawk-eye item bug
Bug where Characters would get stuck in the wall
Convenience updates
Many of our players have requested a communication function while in the lobby. So we are planning to add a feature allowing players to communicate with each other in the lobby with Emojis. We are also planning to add a result page to congratulate the players who have won in each round. Finally, we are going to add the ability to select random game modes within a lobby.
Updates:
Emoji to be added in lobby
Round result page to be added
Random game mode to be added
Content Roadmap
Good news, non-NPC's! We are also sharing some of our plans for additional post-release content below. First, we will add 2 new game modes, to be announced at a future date. Furthermore, to celebrate the Halloween season, we are planning to add some Halloween-themed skins to the game for your enjoyment!
We are also evaluating was to adjust the mechanics of the Bombs Away mode to make it even more enjoyable to play. We have also heard about the balance issue in Police and Thief mode, and will adjust the balance of the game as well. While we can't currently give an exact date for the new content and gameplay adjustments, we are working hard to bring these exciting updates to the game as soon as possible!
Finally, we are pleased to announce that we are planning to port "Who's Who?" to the Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation 5 sometime around the end of the year!
Roadmap Highlights:
Adding two new modes
Adding Halloween-themed skins
Bombs Away Mode : Game mechanics adjustment
Police and Thief mode : game balancing
We appreciate all the non-NPCs who have given their feedback to us to help make the game even better post-release. Stay tuned here, and on our Discord, for more news regarding future "Who's Who?" updates!
We're happy to announce that we will be attending the Tokyo Game Show, where we will be showcasing "Who's Who?". We are excited to have the opportunity to show off our new game at such a large and prestigious event!

Who's Who? - Price Change
Hey non-NPCs!
After careful consideration, we have decided to lower the price of “Who’s Who?” to $4.99 USD.
We want to be sure that the price of our game reflects the value, and we currently believe that our initial price of $10.99 USD does not align with the current content in the game. While we will be continuing development on the game, and have plans to add more content to the game in the future, we want every player to feel confident in the purchase they are making, and that means adjusting our price tag in the meantime.
We also want to be sure every player who purchased “Who’s Who?” before the pricing change is compensated. As a thank you for your support, we will be sending two additional keys to these players. If you purchased “Who’s Who?” at the initial price of $10.99 USD, please send us your purchase record and your Steam Community profile to g1official@g1playground.com.
Thank you everyone for your invaluable feedback and continuous support!

Who’s Who Is Finally Out!
Gather around Non-NPCs! Today’s the big day!
The wait is finally over, as we’re excited to announce that “Who’s Who?” is now available on Steam! Play with up to 10 of your fellow non-NPCs as you do your best to act like an NPC, figure out who the other players are and, of course, dropkick your friends! Are you ready for the most hilariously fun and action-packed multiplayer game out there?
Join your fellow non-NPCs in 4 seriously entertaining game modes:
“Where’s Everybody?”: In this classic free-for-all mode, players attempt to blend in with the various NPCs while trying to find (and dropkick) the other players! Do you have what it takes to be the last one standing?
“Police vs Thieves”: A team of thieving non-NPCs attempt to steal all the precious gems on display while the team of police try to stop them! A classic game of cops and robbers!
“The Squad”: Team-based action at its best! Work with your fellow Non-NPCs to eliminate the enemy team before they eliminate you!
“Bombs Away!”: You have to be quick in this hot potato game! One player has a ticking time-bomb, and the only way they can pass it on is by finding another Non-NPC and dropkicking them. This one is definitely a blast!
We wanted to thank all you non-NPCs for all your support! Now go out there and show your friends what you’ve got!
