Steam Social Deduction Fest is packed with discounts on games that ask you to really look at everyone around you and ask "friend, or foe?"

As you'll see demonstrated in our trailer above, it's not always obvious who to trust. But that's the fun of it when you're grabbing deals on games that require your best judgment of character, whether that's in the form of murder mysteries, hide-and-seek, and even just good old-fashioned paranoia in general.

Join us now for Steam Social Deduction Fest, on through July 16th at 10 am Pacific. See you there! (Or will we? Can you trust us?*)
