Untrusted Gameplay Premise Explained

Untrusted is a social deduction game where players are secretly divided into two teams: Hackers and Agents. Like games such as Mafia or Werewolf, players try to figure out who is on the opposing team while completing their own objectives. Hackers try to break into the Agents’ computers, and the Agents try to stop them and identify the hackers before it’s too late.

Untrusted is a social deduction game for 10 to 16 players that uses familiar elements like day/night turns, voting, and bluffing. Most of the game takes place through text or voice chat on Discord. It also includes unique features, like players manually completing daily logs designed to look like developer notes.

The game features 27 different classes and gives players unique roles at the beginning of each match, which adds a role-playing element. Even though Untrusted involves coding and hacking, you don’t need to be an expert in either to enjoy it. Most players will quickly understand how the game works after playing a few matches.

As of today, Untrusted has earned approximately 1,000 user reviews and boasts a “Very Positive” overall rating. This means that almost 85% of players who’ve tried the game would recommend it – a great accomplishment for an independent game. The game also seems popular with coding fans, based on feedback on social media. Players particularly appreciate its unique concept, which builds a social deduction game around the roles of ethical and unethical hackers.

If you liked Untrusted, you might enjoy its prequel, Untrusted: Hackers at Large. This single-player game has a story and focuses on programming, coding, and hacking – you play as different hackers completing challenging missions around the world. Right now, it’s on sale for 15% off, bringing the price to about $10, but the sale ends on February 5th.
