Hodgepodge Hunch 3.2.2

Hodgepodge Hunch presents itself as an intriguing hidden identity game that invites players to collaborate in the creation of a hotpot dish. Set against the backdrop of dungeons, players take on the role of chefs gathering exotic ingredients in pursuit of culinary excellence. However, the dynamics of the game are complicated by the presence of a spy among the chefs, whose objective is to sabotage the dish. The challenge lies in discerning the true chefs from the deceivers, creating a compelling narrative of mystery and competition.

Game Rules:
Participants are categorized into two distinct roles: Chefs and Spies. Each group aims to achieve specific goals to claim victory. The Chefs focus on preparing a delectable hotpot by venturing into dungeons to collect not only ingredients but also charms that enhance their overall scores. Additionally, Chefs have the power to restrict certain players from contributing ingredients to safeguard their culinary creation. Conversely, the Spy's mission is to undermine the Chefs' efforts by stealthily introducing undesirable ingredients that can spoil their dish. The Spy may also circulate misinformation, fostering distrust among Chefs.

Bots and Solo Mode:
Hodgepodge Hunch accommodates solo players with the inclusion of bot participants, alleviating concerns about assembling a full gaming group—a common hurdle in social deduction games. Bots play a role in both Tutorials and Solo Mode, allowing newcomers to familiarize themselves with gameplay mechanics at their own pace.

Plot:
The narrative unfolds with former hero Kassarol embarking on a new chapter as a member of a hotpot shop team during the competitive Hotpot Fest, where culinary skills are put to the test. As Kassarol and her peers hone their cooking abilities, they soon realize that their beloved hotpot has morphed into an undesirable Hodgepodge. Suspicion mounts as staff members question each other's loyalty amidst an invasion by various adversaries. The tension escalates as they grapple with the potential existence of a Spy while striving for victory in the festival.

Spectator & Photos:
An innovative spectator feature enhances Hodgepodge Hunch by enabling non-players to engage with those participating in the game; they can contribute their own comments and even photos as ingredients for the hotpot. This unique gameplay element allows for diverse styles of play, including scenarios where streamers craft unconventional hotpots with input from their audience.
