Description
A multiplayer murder mystery party for up to 12 players. Assume the role of Detective or Killer and use tools to uncover—or manipulate—evidence. Murder, investigate, discuss and deceive. Put your true-crime-solving skills to the test, or see if you are capable of cold-blooded murder.
It Was You gives players a setting, cast of characters and a set of rules to experience endless murder mystery scenarios.
Premise
Decked out in their favorite costumes, a group of friends gather at the abandoned Tylock Estate for a Halloween murder-mystery party that promises to be life-changing.
Excitement buzzes as the group shows off their costumes and dives head-first into an intricate mystery crafted for them by their friend - each of them assuming their assigned role of Detective or Killer.
As the first round draws to a close, the game begins to take a dark turn. The "murders" start to feel all too real and the evidence - once just playful props - quickly becomes key to the cast's survival. As suspicions rise and horrified friends begin to turn on one another, exiling those they presume to be accursed, one question lingers: What happens when a game is no longer a game and what happens when you can't quit?

About Snowfall Games
Snowfall Games started during the 2020 global pandemic when lifelong friends Austin and Jaden, stuck at home, saw a gap in the social deduction genre—one that craved deeper gameplay, stunning visuals, and a true murder mystery theme. Having spent their childhood creating—building elaborate Halloween experiences for neighborhood kids, designing firework displays in Roller Coaster Tycoon, and learning game engines—they turned their passion into careers. Jaden made his mark developing Marine Arena 2, one of StarCraft 2’s most-played mods, and later worked on Hogwarts Legacy, New World, and Lost Ark. Meanwhile, Austin blended his computer science expertise with self-taught artistry, mastering 3D modeling and rendering to bring their vision to life. From two developers to a full-fledged team, Snowfall has spent four years driven by passion, countless late nights, and relentless ambition—culminating in its first game, It Was You.
