What is Sinister Night?

This multiplayer horror game takes place in a haunted church school where streamers gather for a reality show. In eight-player matches, you collect offerings to stop a ritual and use clues and discussion to identify and banish two possessed players. Those playing as spirits conceal their identities, shift suspicion onto others, and kill the group.
