Live, Laugh, Abyss

[spark gorge]

Live, Laugh, Abyss is a Leviathan script with highly detrimental Outsiders and slowly mounting information... and, of course, madness.

Currently sitting at top 5 Leviathan scripts on BotC-scripts (although likely upvoted by players in my games 😅).

Bootlegger: If you juggle the same player or character more than once, something bad might happen to you.

The best game of Clocktower I've ever played.

Easily the best Leviathan game I've ever played.

If you end up playing this I'd be happy to hear from you!

Also, updated the .json to v1.0.1 to feature graphics.

wanna start by saying amazing art!!!

feedback wise the main thing i’d say would be to get rid of death mod ESPECIALLY ASSASSIN. with most demons, evil wins by going down to 2 people alive, and therefore assassin is helpful as it quickens that goal. In a leviathan game, evil basically never wins like this and instead wins by waiting 5 days or executing 2 good people. for this reason, people who die at night are simply confirmed not the demon and thus gives the evil team less options to execute, which is how they win

for that reason UT is also not amazing, although can work out if town is bold

but besides death mod and potentially UT, this looks like a good leviathan script

Thanks for the feedback @cursive blade

The Assassin is there to discourage town from info dumping day 1. So a big wincon for the Assassin would be to get rid of a strong ongoing info role early in the game. 🔪 Also it enables Gambler as an evil bluff. 🎲

The Undertaker is surprisingly game-solving, since oftentimes the solve in this script requires the knowledge of which Minions are in play. 🪦 It encourages the town to execute on day 3, and of course could always be a Widow bluff. 🕷️

Let me know how these roles feel if you end up playing this!

[cursive blade]

fair point, but i feel being a trusted dead good with minor info is better than being a suspicious alive good with more info.

self killing to bluff gambler is a viable strategy tho

This is certainly the case in regular games. Likely less so in Leviathan games, I believe, especially with bigger player counts. How I view Leviathan games — and this script is designed to align with this philosophy — is that by day 5, most of the players should be viewed as good, a few should be viewed as dubious, and there should be only a few strong Demon candidates. With this in mind, your approach is certainly a valid way to view the game. However, under that premise, the Assassin would also have the option to kill themselves to lend credibility to incorrect worlds.
