About this game
Welcome to Grandmother’s Village
Redhowl is a social deduction game with proximity voice chat, blending real-time action with debate phases for 4 to 15 players, inspired by Little Red Riding Hood. Fortify the village and evolve its defenses across 3 levels by completing your quests, while using your unique powers to uncover the Wolves and other enemies hiding among you. Between day, night, and council phases, sabotage, investigate, deceive your opponents, and survive. Every match is unpredictable, will you save the village, or be devoured?
3 FACTIONS, 13 UNIQUE ROLES

THE CHAPERONS: INVESTIGATE AND SURVIVE
The Chaperons work to ensure the village’s prosperity under Grandmother’s guidance. They must cooperate, investigate, and uncover traitors using their unique abilities, each capable of influencing the course of the game.
THE WOLVES: DEVOUR THE VILLAGE
Reveal your true nature, beneath every hood may lurk a hungry Wolf. Take advantage of the night and powerful sabotage abilities to sow doubt among the Chaperons. Invoke the Blood Moon, a chaotic night that may turn everything upside down…
THE ASSASSIN: THE LONE PREDATOR
Pursue your own objectives and play the troublemaker. Hunt down and eliminate designated players, regardless of their faction.
THE CHAOS OF THE BLOOD MOON
The Blood Moon is a one-time-per-match event featuring four random variants capable of radically altering the rules of the game. One of them, extremely rare and devastating, combines all three variants at once.
AN IMMERSION AT THE HEART OF THE GAME
Enter a world where gameplay and atmosphere coexist. Alternate between peaceful days, oppressive nights, and the Blood Moon, a night steeped in a nightmarish atmosphere. Discover the spectral realm as well, where fallen players return as ghosts, still able to haunt the village and interact with the world of the living.
