Workflow

• flow of game: home screen > confirmation screen for game to begin > random role generator > night (sleep, mafia, sleep, doctor, sleep) > day (murder, discussion, voting) > repeat last two > game end
• home screen: option to create game or join game, storyteller creates game, enters number of players and number of mafia/doctors/detectives, receives code, join game requires input of a code, players require name input but narrator does not
• waiting screen: increasing counter for new members joining, all members in current game can see members in game, when number of players reaches the specified number the game automatically starts
  

Role

• role generator: each person gets randomly assigned one, a description of the role is shown beneath name of role (this description can later be pulled up from a help menu)
• night: storyteller can observe everything that’s happening. is alerted once decision is made. has a “move on” button to advance story (maybe unnecessary?) and gives vocal cues to let others know when story has moved on.
• characters not currently awake have a dark screen with some text, if they wake up the screen lights up with whatever
• starts with mafia: mafia chatroom opens up, after discussion can choose victim via player select thing
• doctor: screen lights up, wakes up, chooses who to save via player select thing, after choice is made screen dims again
• detective: screen lights up, wakes up, chooses who to investigate via player select, after choice is made screen dims again
• narrator: is a spectator of the mafia chatroom but can’t say anything, sees the choices made by doctor/detective, concludes night
• day: storyteller tells the story, people discuss
• voting system: people select who they think the mafia is via player select thing
• narrator can see who chooses who, narrator delivers story, narrator has option to advance story to night if game not finished
• game end
• narrator tells story, screen either displays “WIN” or “LOSE” or something (it can maybe come up at the narrator’s choice so they can time it better / more suspense?) ## Extra
