There are 6 characters called \u201cPawns.\u201d One is randomly designated the target, and another the villain. Players are then divided into 2 teams and put into a simulation. The goal of the villain team is to kill the target. To perform the kill, the villain must possess a weapon and be in the same area as the target where it\u2019s not visible to anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of the other team is to prevent the crime and guess the villain. If the target is still alive by the morning of the 4th day, the game moves to the final deduction phase. If a player unmasks the villain, they win. If the villain is not revealed, the game ends in a draw. It\u2019s also possible to guess the villain before the last day, with a correct guess resulting in a win for the player.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-001-en.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-001-en.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-001-en-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-001-en-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-001-en-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-001-en-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-001-en-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-001-en-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-001-en-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-001-en-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>It\u2019s been around half a year since <em>CRIMESIGHT<\/em> initially released on Steam in April of this year. Konami <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/1491710\/view\/3381666900845441607\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explains<\/a> that they dropped the price \u201cIn order to make it easier for all customers to enjoy our products.\u201d From the text it sounds likely that Konami is aiming to secure enough players for the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>CRIMESIGHT<\/em> reached a peak player count of 555 players just after launching and has since been moving forward with a double-digit player count. While this number did see a boost in June after a major update and a free week, the player count has since dropped to peaking somewhere between 10 and 20 players this past month (<a href=\"https:\/\/steamdb.info\/app\/1491710\/graphs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SteamDB<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the player count may be low, the gameplay itself has actually reviewed well with players. The game has received around 400 user reviews on Steam and sits at a rating of Very Positive. However, the multiplayer won\u2019t be playable if there\u2019s nobody around to play it with, so Konami is likely looking to draw in more players by dropping the price.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-002-en.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-002-en.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-002-en-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-002-en-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-002-en-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-002-en-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-002-en-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-002-en-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-002-en-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221107-225690-002-en-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>CRIMESIGHT <\/em>can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1491710\/CRIMESIGHT\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> on Steam.<br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>Written by.
