The game blends social deduction with investigative mechanics. Each round follows a three-phase cycle: the Ripper hunts, the players investigate, and a formal Conviction phase follows in which evidence is weighed and a verdict delivered. Evidence can be faked, alibis shift, and the developers say every round reaches a resolution rather than stalling in endless argument.

Alongside the online multiplayer mode for up to eight players, there is a solo mode for anyone brave enough to face the fog alone. Dynamic roles and player-driven outcomes mean sessions unfold differently each time, with trust described as earned slowly and lost instantly.
