Rise of The Undead

In the author’s words

Synopsis

As nature begins to lose its colours and bird songs die away, autumn gets ready to sleep. The whole harvest has been gathered, and nature prepares to sleep, covering itself in a blanket of mist.

The inhabitants of Teensyville notice nothing out of the ordinary as a sleepy atmosphere envelopes the village. With the Vigil of All Hallows approaching, oblivious villagers prepare to honour the dead, lighting candles in the gloomy cemetery.

Only the grey-haired wandering spirit realises that the hour has struck for the… Rise of the Undead.

Gameplay

This script enhances the core mechanic of Blood on the Clocktower, embracing death and empowering the dead. This script also changes how players view deaths because the majority of roles’ power comes from the death of a player. Because of the power of the Ferryman and the faster pace of games, players’ engagement will increase and the game won’t let them slack off. Thus, the game becomes more interesting for all dead and alive players.

When playing Rise of the Undead…

Good players will learn valuable info or acquire new abilities after a death. Even though Zombuul is in script, good players might be hesitant to execute anyone without proof because the majority of good abilities are unlocked by a Demon kill. At first glance, with no Outsider modifications, catching Outsiders should be a piece of cake; however, it is not that simple due to the fact that even Outsiders won’t know who they are. Jinxes also cannot be forgotten, as they will certainly get in the way of good players.

Evil players won’t be able to play in a coordinated manner. Not knowing who is on your team is surely going to complicate things, but the evil team is not afraid of dying. With Zombuul, Scarlet Woman and Mastermind, evil players have many safety nets. With that being said, Minions can even try to execute the Demon and trick the good team into believing their half-truths and securing an alibi.
