The city falls asleep. The mafia wakes up. Mafia Noir turns your phone into the host of the legendary party game — with a cinematic noir table, masked players and a narrator who never forgets a single step. Gather 5 to 21 friends, pass the phone around and find out who is lying. ◆ NO HOST? NO PROBLEM Put the phone in the middle of the table and let the voice run the night. It wakes every role, lets them act in secret on the screen and announces at dawn who didn't make it. Everyone plays — nobody has to sit out as the host. ◆ OR HOST LIKE A PRO Holding the phone yourself? Every role is in front of you, every line is on the screen, and the app keeps track of the rest: night actions, saves and blocks, nominations, votes, fouls and the winner. ◆ A DEAL NOBODY CAN CRACK Pass the phone, flip your card, remember it, hide it. Every role gets the same sound and the same vibration, so nobody can tell anything by ear. Fully random dealing for any table from 5 to 21 players. ◆ 14 ROLES + YOUR OWN Mafia, Don, sheriff, doctor and civilians — plus lover, journalist, maniac, bodyguard, immortal, hunter, lawyer, werewolf and priest. Got a house role? Add it, and the app deals it too. ◆ A TABLE YOU'LL WANT TO SIT AT A smoky 3D room, a lamp over green cloth, rain on the window, a noir soundtrack and a camera that glides to every speaker. Not a list of buttons — a real game night. ◆ EVERYTHING THE TABLE NEEDS • Speech, defense and last-word timers • Vote counting with ties, defenses and revotes • A night journal for the host • Rules and an illustrated role codex • The game saves itself — pick up where you left off • Fully offline. No ads. No account. No data collected. ◆ FREE AND PRO Free: games with a host, the five classic roles (civilian, mafia, Don, sheriff, doctor) and one narrator voice. Mafia Noir Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription, ever: no-host games run by voice, all 14 roles plus your own, every narrator voice and Cinema graphics. Languages: English, Ukrainian, German, Polish and Spanish. Narrator voices: English and Ukrainian.
