About Demon Bluff
Demon Bluff is an indie strategy game from UmiArt that dropped on March 31, 2026, for PC. It’s a single-player social deduction title where you play a judge-like figure tasked with identifying the “Evil” among a group of villagers. Each round, villagers give statements that may or may not be truthful, and you analyze their words, body language, and history to make your judgment. The game leans heavily on logic puzzles and pattern recognition, with a focus on gradual reveals and misdirection. If you enjoy untangling lies in a structured setting, this is your jam. Short sessions make it easy to pick up and lose track of time.
Gameplay
Every session starts with a new group of 5, 7 villagers, each with hidden traits that affect their statements. You read through their claims, cross-reference them with past interactions, and flag suspects. The core loop revolves around deduction: highlight contradictions, track alibis, and use a limited number of “interrogations” to press villagers for more info. Later rounds introduce twists like alliances or fake evidence. Controls are minimal, click to select, drag to organize notes, but the mental workload is intense. The game’s tight pacing means most rounds clock in under 10 minutes, but the pressure to avoid false accusations keeps you hooked. Victory requires balancing risk and observation.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Demon Bluff 4.2/5, with 78% completing the full story mode. Average playtime is 5.2 hours, though 40% of players finish in under 3. Community moods are split: 65% label it “clever” and “addictive,” while 22% call it “frustrating” due to inconsistent difficulty. Early-game logic puzzles are praised for being “tight,” but some note the mid-to-late game “collapses into guesswork.” A top review reads, “Kept me guessing for hours, until the third act where I just clicked randomly.” Achievements (15 total) are mostly story-locked, with 32% of players hitting 100% completion.
PlayPile's Take
Demon Bluff is a solid pick for logic-heads and fans of deduction mechanics. At $19.99, it’s a low-risk buy for its 5, 6 hour runtime, especially if you enjoy untangling lies. The first half-hour is a masterclass in misdirection, but later rounds can feel like the game resets its own rules. Skip if you hate RNG-aided puzzles or need deeper worldbuilding. For what it is, a clever, bite-sized brain teaser, it delivers. Just don’t expect it to outlast your coffee break.
