Pulled Strings

Everything is held together by thin strings of coordination and vigilance… until someone starts pulling their own.

Pulled Strings is a game that blends social deduction with survival elements.
It's not just about uncovering the traitor — it's about mastering coordination and acting with purpose.
No one is truly safe, for no one welcomes the coming of darkness — not the Marionettes, not the Killer. Only the Werewolf longs for that...

In every session, players must negotiate and assign roles — and be ready to reshape their duties on the fly.
Danger lurks around every corner, and adaptation is your only lifeline.

⭐ Social deduction meets tense survival

If the Marionettes don’t work together — everyone loses

⭐ A new take on the traitor dynamic:

The Maniac must think twice before every kill.
Sometimes, survival means helping the Marionettes — whether to avoid starving or to keep from becoming the Werewolf’s next prey...

⭐ A genre reimagined

A Victorian mansion, Norse mythology, and eerie marionettes… cooking okroshka.
Can dolls even feel hunger?

⭐ A Marionette that changes everything

Every player is a vital link in the survival chain, shaping the match as it unfolds.
You won’t get far just warming yourself by the fireplace.

⭐ Shape your own rhythm

With dozens of settings to tweak, you can shift the pace of the game entirely — and make it truly yours.
