As I don't use Slack, I'm totally building an IRC version of this. Actually, I'd prefer frontend-agnostic, so I can hook the logic to IRC/matrix/XMPP/websockets.

So awesome :) Thanks for putting this together. I'd love to see a Secret Hitler bot next!

Nice, in my experience online Werewolves can be fun when you know each other well but live far away. So I could imagine it working with teams on Slack. How were your experiences thus far?
I built https://github.com/sander/lunacy for a similar purpose (CouchDB + Node + AngularJS). After a few months it did become a bit boring, I think mainly because the stakes are lower when dropping out of a game doesn’t actually mean having to sit and watch others continue to play live (you can just quit the app), and because the lack of facial expressions that can give away roles.

Have you tried out The Resistance?

This is neat, but I still wonder where people get the time to play games like this.

Small nitpick: That screenshot shows a situation which shouldn't occur in the game. If there's only 1 player left, he's the winner. So I wonder: Is there a winning condition built in?

I wonder why it's written in PHP. Seems like an odd choice.

Really cool. I built something similar in python for giggles a couple months ago [1]. One day I'll get around to implementing other roles. Honestly the most fun part of it was co-workers hilarious attempts to break the script. ```!vote DROP TABLES```

Very cool! I wonder how the game dynamic changes when people are not required to be in the same room as each other.
