About
ALFRED is a BAD GUY is a board game for 4 to 8 players in which you have to team up to defeat the Boss of the board in a dice duel. But beware: some players won't have the same objective as others. Secret roles are assigned at the start of the game, dividing players into 2 teams. The good guys, whose aim is to defeat the Boss, and the bad guys, whose aim is to keep the Boss alive and eliminate the good guys.
To achieve your goals, you'll need to roll dice to scour the board for items, bonuses and extra dice. You'll start the game with a 6-sided die, while the Boss will have a 100-sided one. You'll need to move around the board to find the bonus squares you need to better equip yourself before facing your opponents.
The Boss is accompanied by 4 lieutenants who give him bonuses and strengthen him. But he can also count on the players who will take on one of the bad guy roles, among them:
- The Reaper, who will cut off the heads of pawns who talk too much.
- The Puppeteer, who will take control of another pawn and do whatever he likes with it.
- Marc, who will mark your dice to make them explode in front of the Boss.
The good guys won't be left out in the cold, either:
- The Hero, who will have a more powerful die for his fights.
- Urgle, who will defy death and make the Grim Reaper bow.
All other players will be Simple Pawns.
In short, gather your friends, log on to your favorite voice chat software, grab your dice and your investigative skills to find out who the bad guys are and defeat the Boss of ALFRED is a BAD GUY!

Это что-то вроде настольной игры, только для компьютера. Запомните: если вы не можете собраться и сыграть в настолки, то не такие вы уж и друзья.
"ALFRED IS A BAD GUY" is an already dead "I can't believe it's not a mobile app" boardgame with a few gimmicks going on, none of them particularly good. I guess the best way to see this is as a kind of cross between Ludo and Mafia/Werewolf/Town of Salem, except even less popular than any of those. Being multiplayer only, there's only a few people playing a game of this every month, and it's only been out for a couple of months... the trajectory on player counts is straight through the floor. Crappy monetization, looking like a mobile app, weirdly convoluted yet also derivative gameplay are probably all reasonable causes for the failure of this train wreck. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly/cartoony mobile app style 3D visuals (some which look suspiciously like they're from an asset store like Suriyun packs or something) which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers. It's very difficult to recommend bad looking games. On pricing and value for gamers, this isn't really free as the game is infested with mobile app store like microtransactions. This is a consumer hostile model that we don't need to see on PC. It's deceptively priced to gouge gamers, and that's a reason in itself to avoid this. Even after that, this is only free in a rudimentary sense... the developer has their hand out a $20 USD "donation" DLC for this as you're expected to buy extra cosmetic DLC from Steam to "support" the developer... digital panhandling. Like the homeless guys who splash dirty water on your windscreen at the traffic lights. No thanks. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.

Alfred is a bad guy is a great game to play with friends! A fun party game with among us kind of mecanics (with the concept of hidden roles and imposters) but with dices mecanics. The only downside is the fact that there is no matchemaking so you need to have friends arouds to play with. But it's kind of the norm for those games, especialy from indi studios.
C'est super !
Cool game to play with friends
fun games to play with friends

Jeu super fun avec des potes, hâte d'y rejouer !
Honestly really fun with friends, good concept for the impostor especially having different roles so its not super easy to figure out who it is. i would like to be able to tilt the camera up and down but its not a big deal. nice work!
