Steam sale deals slash 80% off the ultimate backstabbing party games
Valve has launched the Steam Social Deduction Fest, slashing prices by up to 80% on some of the platform's most chaotic multiplayer hits
Steam has booted up another sale just days after the end of its run of summer discounts. The Steam Summer Sale wrapped up last week but Valve has already dropped a themed event for PC and Mac gamers.
This time, the Social Deduction Fest focuses on some great party games that have you second-guessing your best friends. After all, what is the point of friendship if you can’t semi-jokingly test each other’s loyalty for fun? The sale is full of hidden gems which will have you questioning everything, as well as some of the big-hitters of the genre.
Gamers can save up to 80% on some of the most devious, backstabbing titles to land on Steam. The king of the genre, viral mega-hit Among Us, is one of many on sale, having been slashed to just £2.39.
Fans of the original second-guessing board game, Cluedo, can get the digital version at a whopping 70% off. But there are some great alternatives to these mainstream games available, too.
Town of Salem 2, a massive digital version of Mafia or Wink Murder, is free to play and the original is down by 66%. The series places players in the shoes of medieval townspeople trying to work out who the secret witches and killers are before night falls.
There’s also Project Winter, a survival betrayal game in the same vein as Among Us - except rather than being set in space, it’s instead in a brutal, freezing wilderness. Eight players have to gather supplies to call in a rescue helicopter while battling off two secret traitors who are trying to sabotage the mission.
The sale ends at 10am PT or 6pm BST on Thursday, July 16.
