TownOfSalem is a web game developed by Blank Media Studios set in an alternate reality version of the actual Town of Salem during the Witch Hunts, with gameplay based off ''TabletopGame/{{Werewolf}}'' and the StarcraftII mod Mafia. Three factions are trying to get their way to victory: The Mafia are trying to kill anyone who opposes them, the Townies are trying to rout out evildoers, and the neutral parties, who each have their own agenda.

As of now, Town of Salem has 29 roles to choose from . The main goal depends on what faction you're apart of, deceiving players to hang those in your way while slowly eliminating others at night.

* DetectiveMole: The Consigliere has the ability to see other people's roles like the Investigator does, and can claim to be a Sheriff or Investigator to keep Townies away from his Mafia friends.

The Mafia is made up of: Blackmailer, Consigliere, Consort, Disguiser, Framer, Godfather, Janitor and Mafioso

The Neutrals are made up of: Amnesiac, Arsonist, Executioner, Jester, Serial Killer, Survivor and Witch

* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: Amnesiacs are harmless at the start of the game because they can't do anything yet. They have to wait until another player dies so he can become his role, which may help the Town, the Mafia, or continue the work of the Serial Killer.
* CriminalAmnesiac: The Amnesiac can choose to do this. When a role dies, he can become it, so if a Serial Killer or Mafia dies he can become one himself to wreak havoc.
* KillItWithFire: The Arsonist's whole shtick. He douses anyone he wants with gas and chooses when to light them up. The scary part? ''No night time immunity will protect you.''

* PowersViaPossession: The Witch class can do this if she possesses someone with a night ability, using it for themselves.
* SerialKiller: Very obvious, he kills people. Only people he can't kill are the ones who have night immunity like he does, and his own can be ignored by the Veteran should he try to visit him to stab him in the night.
* TakingYouWithMe: When the Jester is lynched, who chooses someone in the night to feel guilty about killing them and commit suicide.

* BangingForHelp: When someone is Blackmailed by the Blackmailer, they start to spam the Vote in an attempt for someone to realize they can't speak.
* EveryoneIsASuspect: Around day three accusations start flying until either someone is hanged or someone reveals their role.
* ForegoneConclusion: What happens when a non killing role, such as a Medium, or Jester, is stuck with the Mafia or Serial Killer.

* LostWillAndTestament: If the Janitor from the Mafia reaches someone who is killed by them, he will wipe out the Last Will and role.

* TakeAThirdOption: Not only can the Town and Mafia win, the Serial Killers can win, the Arsonists can win, and the Jesters can win.
* WhereTheresAWillTheresAStickyNote: Most Wills in the game are used to have a last laugh with the living, some leaving important information about who is who.

* ProperlyParaoid: Every Townie. There are hidden killers about, and a target on your back ... The one who takes this to the extreme is the Veteran, who can go on watch at night. Anyone who visits him, friend or foe, will be shot dead on the spot.

* TakingTheBullet/TakingYouWithMe: The Bodyguard can choose to protect someone at night and take the attacker down with him, at the cost of his life.

The Townies are made up of: Bodyguard, Doctor, Escort, Investigator, Jailer, Lookout, Mayor, Medium, Retributionist, Sheriff, Spy, Transporter, Veteran, and Vigilante.

* BackFromTheDead: The Retributionist can revive a dead person only once. They typically tend to revive investigative roles.
* HowDidYouKnowIDidnt: Some Jailors will randomly execute a prisoner at night, some of the jailed being criminals. When asked how they know, some say "I just did" or "I made a guess." Though sometimes this is illogical when some do it only four days in.
* ISeeDeadPeople: The Medium's job is to do this. Once a night they can choose someone to speak to who died, and relay information to the town from beyond the grave.
* TheMedic: The Doctor can heal himself once, and can keep other people healed up as well all game.
* PoliceAreUseless: Downplayed and Averted. The Sheriff and the Investigator can both see the roles of the townspeople, but they can be sidetracked by the Framer from the Mafia's side or Blackmailed to be unable to speak. The Jailor is considered one of the more powerful roles in the game for his ability to hold away any person he likes, preventing them from being killed, use abilities, or he can execute someone who is lying. However if he kills a Townie, his ability to execute is revoked.
* ProperlyParaoid: Everyone in the game who is a Townie. The only one who takes this to the extreme is the Veteran, who can go on watch at night. If anyone visits him, friend or foe, they will end up dead the next morning.
* TakingTheBullet: The Bodyguard can choose to protect someone at night, most likely the Mayor, Doctor or any investigative role and take someone with him.
* TakingYouWithMe: The Bodyguard mostly ends up killing his attacker while protecting someone.
* TeleportSpam: The Transporter can do this, being able to swap two people during the night cycle, even himself. Doing so switches all abilities aimed at the two, so if one is about to be stabbed by a Serial Killer the other person is instead.
* UltimateAuthorityMayor: The Mayor is hidden just like the rest of the Townies. But when he does come out of hiding, he's given more authority than most, counting as three votes for both lynching and for verdicts. Unfortunately, it comes with a nasty side effect of being targeted to be killed.

* WhereTheresAWillTheresAStickyNote: Most Wills in the game are used to have a last laugh with the living, some leaving important information about who is who.

The game is played in two cycles, day and night. During the day players discuss strategy with the townspeople, put together clues, or attempt to lynch someone. It starts pleasantly on Day 1, when everyone greets each other ... Until the night phase, where a wolf howls to announce the day is over and everyone goes home, [[HellIsThatNoise the music gets more intense, picks up the pace]], day comes ... and bodies are lying around.

There are plans to release new features as time passes, the developers working tirelessly to squash bugs and rework the Lobby system, adding an in-game shop for cosmetic character designs. The developers are also working on updating the UI, possibly more roles, a friends list to invite people to games, and private game settings.
