now i only want you gone
if FM is too stressful, you’d might want to play some tol, it’s social deduction but way less stressful 
Yea that’s an issue, mac support will 100% not come back (unless mac decides to make it possible again for indie games to support it)
i made a big thread a couple months ago discussing why i dont think i’ll ever come back to tol
the redundancy in terms of the kind of experiences i could feasibly have in that game is pretty unbearable for me at this point
the appeal in fm is the uniqueness of each setup flavour wise, which makes putting up with a strain on mental health sometimes infinitely more tolerable there for me than in tol
Throne of Lies is a 3D online multiplayer game where 8~16 players combine their social deduction skills with over 100 abilities to root out the traitors at the table and stop their foes from taking control of the kingdom.
In a modern take on tabletop games like Werewolf/Mafia and set during a time of medieval conflict, each player is randomly assigned one of 40+ classes, ranging from the King, himself, to a hapless Fool. Most players will be loyal members of the Blue Dragon faction, but each game will feature members of either the wicked Cult or mysterious Unseen faction, along with a few Neutral characters to mix things up.
The unique Day/Night cycle allows players to congregate around the table, discuss their findings and accuse players of treason during the day and use their abilities to occupy, spy on, conspire against and even kill their fellow players at night.
While Cult and Unseen players know their allies, members of the Blue Dragon must be suspicious of every other player to ensure that they don’t fall to an evil plot.
Even the King is suspect in Throne of Lies, and the enemy’s ability to convert other players to their side means that allegiances are always shifting.
The game concludes when the Blue Dragon faction has disposed of all hostile threats against the kingdom or their enemies have seized control of the Throne of Lies!

Words from the Devs:
-
Throne of Lies is a complex, sandbox strategy game with unlimited strategy - It is important that you learn the core mechanics/classes of the game: There is an in-game tutorial for core mechanics and “class cards” to review for individual classes/abilities. The more familiar you are with the game, the better it becomes! However, it’s not expected that you’d win your first few games
but don’t get discouraged! There’s a whole world of strategy out there for you to experience. -
Due to the social aspect of this game with 16 consecutive players, although we heavily moderate when [beyond a “PG-13” level of toxicity] with an intricate reporting system with limited censoring, we advise players sensitive to trolling to only play with people within our community Discord server.
-
Active development – The dev team is constantly improving the game to improve your experience. Although there are no guarantees or specific schedules for updates, we update out of passion and are committed to doing so for as long as possible.
-
This online indie game is targeted to offer at least 200 hours of gameplay replayability, although many have even 2,000+ hours played!
