What is West Hunt?

In this Old West social deduction game, an outlaw hides among villagers while a sheriff searches for them in short online matches. As the outlaw, you complete randomly assigned tasks without being caught; as the sheriff, you gather clues and identify the outlaw without shooting a villager.
