A Game of Mafia

Prologue – The Trap The town had always been quiet, a place where forty souls lived simple lives under the same sky. But one night, everything changed. The bells rang at midnight — not the church bells, but a metallic, unnatural sound that echoed through every street. Doors locked themselves, windows sealed shut, and the air grew heavy with smoke. Panic spread as the townsmen rushed outside, only to find the square surrounded by towering walls that had risen from the ground, cutting them off from the world beyond. A voice thundered from nowhere, cold and merciless: “You are now participants in The Game of Mafia: Life or Death. Among you hide killers. Three walk in shadow, one seeks justice, one holds the power to heal. The rest… are prey. Each day, you will decide who to trust, who to condemn. Each night, the killers will strike. Survive, and you may see freedom. Fail, and the town will fall.” Fear gripped them. No one knew who stood beside them — friend or foe. The walls glowed faintly, pulsing like a heartbeat, reminding them that escape was impossible. From that moment, the town was no longer a home. It was a prison. A stage. A battlefield where lies and truth would decide life or death.
