Summer Game Fest 2025 Square Enix and Tactic Studios presented a new project – the asymmetric detective shooter Killer Inn, which immerses players in a deadly survival game. The game involves the participation of 24 s, divided into two opposing sides: “wolves” and “lamb”.
Killer Inn actions unfold in a mysterious castle, where each guest becomes a participant in the deadly game. “Wolves” seek to eliminate “lambs” before they are exposed, while “lambs” should use their numerical advantage to identify and neutralize the killers. In conditions of growing distrust and rapidly developing events, the corridors of the castle will become an arena for shootings and hand -to -hand fights.
The process of searching for truth is based on the collection of evidence at the crimes. Players will be able to find evidence such as hair, fingerprints, blood traces and scraps of clothing that will help narrow the circle of suspects. The purpose of each team is to withdraw the enemy’s team from the game. For “lambs”, an alternative strategy of Victory is also provided – an escape from the castle, for which it is necessary to find the keys to the gavan’s gate and raise the anchor of the ship. However, this task is complicated by a constant threat of betrayal from even the closest allies.
The game does not provide for voting to identify killers; Instead, players should rely on their skills and fight with those whom they consider guilty. The castle hides a variety of means for attack and protection, including firearms and cold weapons, traps, poisons, armor and gas masks, which allows players to develop unique strategies.
Killer Inn includes a concentration mode that will allow players to aggravate their feelings and receive additional information about the environment, including traces of killers and sounds from other rooms. Voice chat with volumetric sound will take into the location of the players and the distance between them, creating the effect of immersion. In addition, emotions and stickers for communication will be available.
Players will be offered a choice from original characters, each of which has unique skills, such as silent movement, detective abilities or theft, providing a tactical advantage. The ability to form teams from one to four players will allow both a single age and a coordinated team game, where the detachment participants will be able to communicate on voice chat, regardless of distance.
Interested s can already apply for participation in closed beta testing of the game on page in Steam.
