**Suspects: Mystery Mansion** is a video game developed by Wildlife Studios. The game centers around animal characters trying to find out who the murderer is before the murderer kills them. The primary aspects of this game that make it different from other Mafia-type games is the fact that it has built-in voice chat and an in-game economy which means the game gives you rewards for playing matches.

The game is available for iOS, Android, and on Steam.

## Gameplay

The Gameplay is similar to Among Us, with one of the differences being that the primary murderer role, the Killer is able to plant bombs instead of affecting the reactor which gives the murderer more flexibility. The game also provides more roles and modes.

Cosmetics are more scarce, as the game only allows you to have one singular base avatar, (base avatars being colours in Among Us and base avatars being animals.) And the game doesn't give you multiple cosmetics to put on your avatar at the start, it expects you to obtain them yourself by buying them with Gems, or by passing tiers in the Gold Pass. While in Among Us the game gives you a lot of cosmetics, but requires you to pay with real money to obtain more.

### Differences between Steam version and other versions

All of the versions of the game are exactly identical, except for controls, and the fact that the Steam version has an exclusive character only obtainable when on the Steam version named Skelly, who's bought from the Skelly Pack.
