Trapped in a closed space, you must face round after round of unpredictable survival games against other "prisoners." Only one person can walk out alive.
Music plays, chairs appear. Lie, cooperate, deceive.
In this arena, hearts change in a heartbeat, and risk balances on the edge of opportunity.
Here, "Musical Chairs" requires far more than just fast reflexes.
You must read your opponents' strategies, unleash aggressive skills, and nail high-stakes QTEs to kick the competition out of the game.
"Musical Chairs" is just the appetizer—the derived modes are the main course.
When you fight for a chair, you are fighting for much more than just a seat to survive:
You fight for the initiative to make the first move.
You fight for the information to outsmart others.
You fight for the turn order to control the flow.
You fight for the ultimate power to decide the fate of your opponents.
Every single match is a completely distinct battle of wits.
A Sneak Peek at Derived Modes
True or False Chairs: Real or fake, truth or illusion. Trust your eyes, or trust your instincts?
Reversal: Failing to grab a chair doesn't guarantee your elimination. The game isn't over until it's over.
Iron Maiden: Cooperate with others to save an unfortunate soul—but watch your back, there might be a traitor among you.
Can I play solo? Absolutely! Not enough cellmates? Let the AI step in.
The game fully supports solo play as well as 2-12 player online multiplayer.
If you have fewer than 6 players, you can manually add or remove AI prisoners.
The AI Prisoners will:
Scramble for chairs.
Attack you and other bots.
Make tactical decisions in derived modes.
Face elimination alongside players.
Feature distinct AI Personalities (Coming in a future update).
Utilize your skills, strategy, eloquence, and decisiveness to avoid elimination at all costs.
Become a ghost after elimination (Feature under development).
Once eliminated, you turn into a ghost. Take revenge on those who defeated you—or prank your friends and drag them down with you.
Can you survive to the end and claim the throne of thorns?
What can players expect in the DEMO version?
Solo play and 2–12 player multiplayer modes.
Room-based multiplayer matchmaking to easily invite your friends (like Draw & Guess).
A complete match built on the core "Musical Chairs" loop, featuring a randomized combination of derived modes.
