A phenomenal game of social deduction, murder, impersonation, and bears.
You play by writing letters, asking for advice, and and giving updates on how that advice went.
Also, maybe you're a bear who has eaten and replaced a human, and every time the advice involves murder, you have an easier time with it.
And maybe the person on the other end is a human, trying to find out if you're a bear, by giving you advice focused on murder and seeing how that goes for you.
Or maybe you're both humans pretending to be bears pretending to be human, and the whole exercise is a bunch of smokescreening distracting you from the real bear.
It's a blast.
It does play slow, unless you take it to a discord or something, but it's a super concise, super flavorful design, and I'd enthusiastically recommend it to anyone who likes werewolf/mafia/etc or other social deduction games and doesn't mind playing stuff out over a few weeks instead of an hour.

An hilarious premise executed elegantly. A must-share with all bear (loving) acquaintances.
what's the recommended playercount?
Literally anything above 1. You can do this from 2 players to 50+, though obviously things may get hard to track over about ten or so.
