!! This a multiplayer game, the server can crash and if I don't notice it tweet me :) !!
Fear of the dark is a game based on the card game "werewolves". You'll play a random class character, to play in good condition you have to be at least 4.
If you are a monster, you have to stay in the darkness to be able to kill the humans players, if you go in light you will change to human appearance, but be careful that other players doesn't see you at the moment you came in the light.
If you are not a monster, you have to survive, different classes have different goals, standard human can kill others players, but don't kill everyone or you will loose points, if you suspect someone to be a monster let him make a mistake and be fast to kill him at the right moment.
You can talk with other players to defend yourself "I'm not a monster" -> "well proove it", find your own way to deal with other players.
The game is made with HTML5 using the DreamEngine + PIXI.
*all of this is experimental* It's a multi-player browser game, and it will not work on mobile device because we made controls for gamepad and keyboard only, also if you are on secured or restricted network you will maybe cannot play it due to port usage, but if you are on standard access that's okay.
Warning: it's possible you issue some lag due our light library, we tried on low computer and seems fine, but... just in case :)

Great concept, but poorly realized, the graphics, the music and the controls could be much better. With some major improvements it could become a great game.
There was someone on there briefly and then left so I don't have much to go on by but what I've seen and read it's really awesome! I love the card game Werewolf so that's an added bonus. Making a multiplayer game in a jam is a great thing! I'll have to come back and play when more people are on the server!
Thank you all guys, I know that the problem is to play when there is someone else, I do my best to stay on the game but it's "faked" and I don't like this also after few hours I get borred.
The best solution is to play with a friend (and on skype you'll laugh a lot) you can also ask on twitter I'm sure you can find someone ^^'
Next LD I'll do a solo game, promise xD

So this is an online multiplayer game? Working in a browser? Made within 72 hours? Sweet. Does this use websockets or something else?
wow, an online game? it s a very cool idea, a shame i have to wait for anyone to show up. the movement is kinda awkward, the music and graphics were creepy and i like it

Doing a multiplayer game in 72hours or less is not so hard when you are used to it.
Also the engine I used is in native JavaScript so yes this run in the browser.
