The Other Side

Game Overview

Set in the transient lands of the living and the dead, The Other Side is a deception strategy game where players must complete their hidden objective. Various resources are needed to fulfill these objectives, but be wary, as other players may sabotage your progress through execution, sending you to the world of the dead.

There are eight different characters players can choose from. These include: the Alchemist, Automaton, Cook, Demon, Druid, Jester, Necromancer, and the Wizard.

Design Process

The game was decided as a strategy social deduction game early on

The game's appeal is mostly based on player paranoia and if other players may kill them at any moment

The living and dead world were separated into an outer and inner circle like Dante's divine comedy

The biggest challenge we faced was balancing the different character's requirements to keep the game's fast pace

Some resources are harder to collect, while others had an easier time with their characters

Various external playtests were conducted to help solve the issue
