About Velvet Sundown

✦ AI summary

You're a mysterious character with secret objectives aboard a luxury yacht full of real players, where deception and social manipulation are your only tools to complete your hidden goals. Every game is unique and unpredictable because your success depends entirely on convincing, deceiving, and negotiating with other real people in freeform roleplay scenarios.

Jump into the role of a star and experience a new type of social gameplay!

Velvet Sundown is a social multiplayer role-playing game, taking place on a luxury yacht cruising the waters of a fictitious Caribbean state of Balbonia. Embark on a journey full of conspiracies, trickery and secrets where you can never tell a friend from foe.

In the beginning of each game you are assigned one of the 11 readymade characters at random. Each character has their own unique agenda to pursue, as well as a randomized goal to strive for. Fulfilling your objectives might not be as easy as it seems though: as everyone else has their own secrets, some of the people aboard might not be as willing to co-operate as you would like. It is up to you to use your cunning, wits and social skills to get what you want and avoid spilling your own secrets.

The scenarios are always multiplayer and require a minimum of 4 players, which means that every character you see is played by a real person. This also means completing quests always requires freeform chatting and interaction with the other characters.

Velvet Sundown is based on the Dramagame engine developed by the Finnish game developer Tribe Studios Ltd.

Velvet Sundown is a unique social roleplay game centered on improvisation, deception, and player-driven storytelling aboard a yacht rather than traditional RPG mechanics.

Several players express nostalgia and wish for a contemporary version of the concept, implying the original may be difficult to enjoy today without the right group and timing.

Velvet Sundown is an unconventional multiplayer role-playing experience that places conversation, deception, improvisation, and social interaction ahead of the combat and progression systems normally associated with the RPG genre. Developed and published by Tribe Studios, the game originally arrived on Steam in 2014 as a free-to-play title built around an intriguing concept: a group of strangers is placed aboard a luxurious yacht, each person receives a character with personal motivations, and the resulting story develops according to how those players interact. Rather than guiding everyone through a tightly scripted narrative, Velvet Sundown establishes a dramatic situation and allows its participants to become the primary source of unpredictability. The setting revolves around the Velvet Sundown, a luxury yacht sailing through the waters surrounding the fictional Caribbean state of Balbonia. The location gives the experience an appropriately glamorous atmosphere, but beneath that relaxed exterior is a web of conflicting interests. Players are assigned characters from a selection of eleven personalities, and each participant enters the scenario with individual objectives and info…
