About this Raddle

It's time to delve into evil. The Marionette is a Minion — which means they work for the evil team. However, they start the game thinking they are a good character — in this case, the Gambler. Then they spend the game getting false info but thinking it's true, which is a big boon for the side of evil. It's up to the Demon to tell the Marionette who they are. In this case, the Marionette-as-Gambler is spending the game guessing people's roles and thinking they were getting them all correctly. Nothing as dangerous as a gambler on an artificial hot streak.

Theme: Blood on the Clocktower

My favorite game is Blood on the Clocktower, a social deduction game that is endlessly replayable due to volume and variety of character options. Each character has a special ability, and most of them involve learning information about other players, or affecting other players' info (or existence) in some way. But a few special characters actually get to embody other characters, either by taking their power or pretending to be them for Reasons.
