What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We've put tons of love into Which Wizard and we are happy to invite you to play! Throughout development we've hosted internal playtests and player feedback has always been a key ingredient to making the game better and better. We believe that developing the game in Early Access will broaden the feedback we receive and help Which Wizard become the most magical game it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Currently we do not have a full release timeline in mind. Instead, we want our timeline to grow out of listening to your feedback and making Which Wizard as magical as we can make it. Since it's a multiplayer game, we want a wide variety of experiences and perspectives to help shape what it means for this game to be complete.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

Which Wizard already provides a full social deduction experience with exciting magical layers. Before full release we'd like to add even more of those magical layers: more subclasses and spells, more ghost haunt effects, and more evil curses. We also have plans to tune up the mini-game variety and add more game settings so people can play Which Wizards in exciting new ways!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can start or join a match of Which Wizard right now and play a complete game loop full of intrigue, suspense, and magic. Our beta testers have played this game for hours and had a blast together! We intend to add both new content and polish that will enhance what already exists, but the core gameplay is ready (complete with online matchmaking across worldwide servers). You can get more information on the current features in our "About this game" section!”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We currently do not have any plans to change the price after Early Access”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are so excited to listen and create magic with you! We will be gathering feedback on our Discord, socials, and Steam forums. That feedback will help shape our game balance adjustments, new features like magic spells and ghost haunts, and settings that enable creative new ways to play. We really want Which Wizard to be the ultimate spellcasting social deduction game that you and your friends love playing- and we’d love to have you participate! Dust off those spellbooks and fire away.”

About This Game

Which Wizard takes what you love about social deduction games and adds exciting new layers of magic. Venture into a cursed castle with a party of up to 10 Wizards, only to discover that one (or more) of your so-called friends has been consumed by Evil. Can the Good Wizards identify the traitor trying to kill them all before it's too late?

Play with friends or find a group through online matchmaking. You'll have to use all your cunning to discover the truth (or conceal it) with spells flying everywhere!

The Magic


  • Use Transfrogrify to disable other Wizards' spells (and killing power) by turning them into slow, hopping frogs
  • Each Wizard gets a random subclass with a unique spell! Subclass doesn't care about alignment, so beware the Evil Healer who "just" wants to take care of you... alone... in a dark hallway… with no witnesses…
  • Evil Wizards have access to secret magic like Who's Who, making everyone anonymous for 10 seconds so they can pull off tricky kills
  • Ghosts haunt the castle! Dead Wizards who collect the most magic orbs get to choose a Haunt that affects all Wizards on the next round

The World


  • Act fast: the castle's curse drains Health from Good Wizards every second
  • Complete quests (mini-games) around the castle to gain Health
    • Good Wizards can donate Health to repair the Magic Crystal. With enough donations, they'll cure the curse for an instant win
    • Evil Wizards can use Health to cast blood magic and set off curses to confuse and interrupt their targets
  • Portals give Evil Wizards a way to travel instantly across the castle and surprise their prey
  • Summon everyone to banish a suspicious Wizard. Evil wins if it kills enough Good!
  • Explore Dark Meadows Castle with its pockets of lore and charming characters like Meemo the sleepy dragon

The Features


  • Adjust spell cooldowns, movement speed, vision radius, and many other rules to customize your game
  • Full controller support lets you play your way!
  • Connect with Private or Public Lobbies on worldwide servers
  • Accuse each other of murder with in-game text chat
  • Play with up to 10 people so you can betray more people in one go

A Message From the Team


Which Wizard is a love letter to the social deduction genre.

We love how online social deduction games can bring friends together near and far to communicate and solve mysteries together. We love when players create awesome drama, suspense, and sneaky plays. Our goal with Which Wizard is to take what we like about social deduction, reimagine some elements, and give players the tools to craft a personal strategy around new gameplay layers like subclass spells and map-wide ghost haunts.

We’re a small team that has been working hard to make something that we (and hopefully you) enjoy playing! Which Wizard began with a humble game jam shortly after the pandemic hit, and it gave us all a creative, communal outlet through hard times that followed. We hope that it brings you closer to new or old friends the same way it brought us together as a team! Nothing says "I care about you" like a little magic murder between friends.

If you want to help spread the magic, please wishlist Which Wizard! It helps a lot. We also have a community on Discord if you'd like to join for playtests, devlogs, updates, and more!
