Make yourself a cup of coffee and strap yourself in, because this is complicated. Bandai Namco has released a five minute trailer attempting to explain how the gameplay loop for its new Death Note adaptation – free with PS Plus Essential this week – works. It’s complicated, so you’ll need to pay attention, and maybe even watch the video twice.
Effectively, we’re looking at an Among Us social deduction-style experience for ten players, which fits the subject material well. Your goal, depending on which side you’re on, is to either eliminate your opponents using the eponymous Death Note – or detect who Kira is and dispose of the murderous memo.
