Evaluation

Eville launched on October 11, 2022, and had an active post-launch development phase through early 2023. The game shipped multiple major content updates: the Ritualist role on November 28, 2022; Season 2 with the new Frostpit map on January 26, 2023; the Necromancer role on March 7, 2023; and a Season 2 patch and extension announcement on May 16, 2023. The game also had a cosmetic season pass system (Season 1 and Season 2) with rotating store items, though this appeared to be a seasonal rather than perpetual live-service model. The last developer communication was on May 16, 2023, when VestGames extended Season 2 through July 28, 2023 and explicitly stated "at this time this is all we are able to share regarding future game updates." Since that post, there have been no further announcements, patches, or updates of any kind — a silence now spanning over three years as of June 2026. The developer's statement in that final post was deliberately non-committal about the future, and no Season 3 or subsequent content was ever announced or delivered. While the game has not been explicitly declared finished, the complete absence of any communication since May 2023 — combined with a stated season model that ended without a follow-up — makes the development status genuinely unclear. All DLC currently listed on the store is released, but no official statement has confirmed that development is complete.
Evidence
Developer extends Season 2 through July 28, 2023 and states 'at this time this is all we are able to share regarding future game updates.' This is the last official communication from VestGames or Versus Evil.

About this game


Betray your friends - and lie your way to victory. In the multiplayer social deduction game Eville you find yourself in a village riddled by a series of murders. Some say it might have been you - or was it? Convince others you're not a murderer to stay alive!



Inspired by popular social-deduction party games such as Werewolves this is a new take on the concept with realtime gameplay and interaction. Take on the role of a Villager or Conspirator and do your deeds when no one is watching. Place wards to observe other players or tread through the village to visit any house and go on a killing spree. It is your task to communicate with other players and prove your innocence. Use your unique role abilities to your advantage and make sure your team survives.



Devious murders are taking place in the once peaceful village of Eville. Each day the Villagers can decide on suspects and execute them until all evil-doers are found. Each night however the Conspirators gather and decide to murder another innocent Villager until they take over the village. You play as a random role and have no idea who is on your side. Use your abilities and social skills to find out!


Objective: Stay alive and discover the conspirators!
  • Win by executing all conspirators
  • Call in meetings, vote out and execute the Conspirators
  • Find your dead friends and use your abilities and social skills to find out who murdered them
  • Brew potions to save yourself, others, or poison people you think are suspicious
  • Lift the curses and evil magics brought upon Eville by the Conspirators
  • Trade with vendors and acquire items to protect yourself and gather intel on other players
  • Use your unique role abilities to observe players, talk to ghosts, see footsteps or place traps in the village


Objective: Deflect accusations and murder the Villagers!
  • Win by killing all innocent Villagers
  • Get rid of Villagers by sneaking into their home at night and murdering them, or trick Villagers with your deceptive skills
  • Wake up at night, steal and deceive the sleeping villagers
  • Put evil curses upon the village, securing your win
  • Buy trade goods on the black market, giving you unique items such as boots to protect you from traps
  • Use the underground to traverse through Eville in secret



In Eville you assume a randomly assigned role for each session. Convince others that you're on their side to stay alive! Here are some of the available roles:
  • Detective - A nimble noble with an exceptional eye for the truth.
  • Barbarian - A blade master that got off the right path.
  • Shape Shifter - No one really knows who she is, and those that do never see her again.
  • Ghost Whisperer - A mystic with the ability to communicate with deceased Villagers.
  • Slanderer - Never takes the blame for anything. Always tries to frame others.
  • Trapper - A lone ranger with a powerful arsenal.
  • Seer - Places magical wards and observes other players during the night.
  • Mayor - Everyone knows him and everyone pays him.
  • Thief - Watch out for this one, or you'll soon have nothing!
  • Guard - A crusader of justice and truth.
  • Smuggler - A master of the underground - clearing secret paths directly to a player's home
