Mantis Falls is a tense, 'sometimes cooperative' hidden traitor strategy game set in the mob-ruled 1940s film-noir town of Mantis Falls. Players take on the roles of witnesses hunted for information, needing to survive the night and escape. The game uniquely blends hand-building, tactical card play, deduction, and tenuous cooperation, creating an intimate experience of trust and betrayal.

Each game features a secret dynamic: either all players are witnesses working together to survive, or one player is secretly an assassin manipulating events to strike at the right moment. Success requires nuanced conversation, defending choices, bluffing secrets, and balancing teamwork against self-preservation.
