What is Deviation Game?

An Early Access co-op drawing party game for 2–6 players, played in rounds. One person draws a secret prompt, then the others and an image-recognition AI each guess once; humans win by guessing correctly while the AI gets it wrong. Only one player needs a copy, with everyone joining through smartphone browsers while watching that player’s screen.
