Chapter 155: Exodus Gaoo.
"First of all, when you start the game, the player is assigned one of the roles—"
"I'm a villager."
"Elf-san, too fast, too fast!"
"Gaoo."
Top Chat: Villagers don’t go “gaoo.”
Top Chat: Neither do werewolves.
Top Chat: Elf is the type who opens presents immediately after trading.
Top Chat: The type who can’t wait for a toast.
"The possible roles are 'Villager,' 'Seer,' 'Medium,' 'Werewolf,' and 'Madman.' 'Villager,' 'Seer,' and 'Medium' belong to the village side, and they win by wiping out the werewolves. 'Werewolf' and 'Madman' are on the werewolf side, and they win by wiping out the village side."
Top Chat: The village side wins by wiping out the werewolves! (No need to kill the Madman.)
Top Chat: The werewolf side wins by wiping out the village side!
Top Chat: I’ve never played Werewolf before. Thanks for the summary.
Top Chat: That’s the trickiest part about Werewolf. The rest is simple.
"In a normal Werewolf game, you’d just relax and enjoy the discussions, but… Elf-san, do you remember this game’s title?"
"Nn."
"Then please tell our viewers the game’s title!"
"'Exodus.'"
"Clap clap clap. Ah, please clip this part and use it in the video’s opening!"
Top Chat: lol
Top Chat: What’s Exodus again?
Top Chat: It means a mass escape or departure abroad, stuff like that.
Top Chat: Huh, I see.
"That’s right, a great escape! In Exodus, the village side can also win by escaping this ship!"
Top Chat: A ship?
Top Chat: So this type has victory conditions other than voting.
"But at the same time, I have sad news. The ship was badly damaged in a werewolf attack, and if left alone it’ll sink. Food supplies are limited too, so you’ll starve at this rate."
"That’s bad."
"So while watching out for the werewolves hidden among the survivors, you need to quickly maintain the ship, secure food, and build your means of escape!"
"Yeah!"
Top Chat: Elf-san’s getting fired up.
Top Chat: Maybe she likes games she can immerse herself in?
Top Chat: Come to think of it, most games so far didn’t have stories.
Top Chat: Except for that one with Kirishi-tan, “From the Darkness They Emerge.”
Top Chat: I’d like to see her try a story-heavy RPG.
"Alright then, everyone, please step outside."
Prompted, they stepped out of the room—
"Oooh."
And just as described, it was indeed a large ship with a gaping hole in it.
Top Chat: Did it get rammed by another ship?
Top Chat: If it were a helicopter or plane, there’d be wreckage.
Top Chat: It’s tilted a bit, huh.
Top Chat: A sinking ship sooner or later.
"There are box-shaped items like these placed all around the ship. Their contents correspond to 'Food,' 'Stability,' 'Battery,' or 'Special.'"
"Hm hm."
"When you touch them… see how the gauge at the top increased a little?"
"Nn."
"If either 'Food' or 'Stability' hits zero, the ship’s finished. Survivors who can’t move will be hunted down, and the ship capsizes. That’s the werewolf side’s victory."
Top Chat: Stability?
Top Chat: It’s the ship’s property of righting itself.
Top Chat: So you repair it to restore stability.
"'Battery' shows the progress of escape preparations. It’s not literally about collecting only batteries, but I thought that would be an easy way to explain."
Top Chat: So they simplified it.
Top Chat: The way you’re saying it, sounds like escape items can overlap.
Top Chat: And the last one?
"'Special' items are the cutting-edge weapons this ship was secretly carrying! There’s 'Shut-You-Up-Mail,' which temporarily silences someone’s speech, and 'Leave-It-To-You-kun,' which swaps someone’s avatar position with another’s!"
Top Chat: That naming though.
Top Chat: Guess we know a pharmaceutical company made these weapons.
Top Chat: lol
"Items are placed randomly, but appear more often in related locations. If you’re aware of that, it should be easier to find them."
Top Chat: So food shows up more often in the pantry?
Top Chat: And weapons are likely in the cargo hold.
"When the exploration timer fills up, all survivors are forcibly returned to the hall, and the voting phase begins. Okay, let’s start the timer!"
"I’ll go find lots of food."
"Take care. Watch out for werewolves!"
"Yeah!"
Top Chat: Food-hunting Elf, launch!
Top Chat: But seriously, how are they supposed to watch out? lol
