Feign Deduction Tracker Documentation

The tracker is positioned as an analytical hub for Feign, not as a generic note-taking tool. Its job is to keep the state of deduction visible during a live game: who has claimed what, which players are suspicious, which actions were reported, and which roles still remain plausible.

The overlay format matters to that goal. The application is designed to stay close to gameplay through Overwolf, using a clean native interface, modular windows, and lightweight interaction patterns that reduce cognitive overhead rather than adding more friction in a pressure-heavy match.

• Built specifically for Feign as an Overwolf overlay companion.
• Optimized for quick readability during active rounds.
• Supports multi-monitor setups and customizable hotkeys.
• Uses confidence-based role labeling and live suspect tracking.

The Player List is the main lobby management panel. It is the stable roster view for the match and the place where players are registered, organized, and monitored as new information appears throughout the game.

Instead of keeping role reads and survival state in free-form memory, the user maintains them directly on the roster. That gives every later panel a cleaner operating context and makes it easier to read the state of the table at a glance.

• Supports adding and tracking up to 15 players per match.
• Allows players to be arranged by seat order.
• Tracks life status, suspicion, and claims as the match unfolds.
• Explicitly uses the alignments Innocent, Killer, and Neutral.

The Detail panel is the deep-dive view for an individual player. When a user selects someone from the Player List, this panel becomes the main input area for the actions and interactions that later drive the tracker's logic.

The documentation is explicit that this data is entered manually. The application does not read the screen or detect gameplay events automatically. Instead, the player records night actions and received interactions directly so the rest of the overlay can reason over that information.

• Shows actions a selected player has taken.
• Shows actions a selected player has received from others.
• Acts as the main manual input area for night actions.
• Feeds the logic used by Visit Map and Roles in Play.

Roles in Play functions as the tracker's automated deduction engine. As role claims and recorded actions accumulate, this panel narrows the possible set of remaining roles and helps distinguish truthful information from misleading claims.

This is why the project should not be described as simple note-taking. The overlay combines manual inputs with a structured deduction layer that actively updates the space of plausible roles as the match develops.

• Tracks claimed roles dynamically as the game unfolds.
• Monitors confirmed roles remaining in the setup.
• Calculates possible roles still in play.
• Supports faster truth-versus-lie evaluation during discussion.

The intended workflow starts with match setup and then moves through repeated cycles of input, visualization, and role narrowing. Each panel has a narrow responsibility, but the panels are designed to reinforce one another rather than act as isolated widgets.

A standard round begins by preparing the roster, advancing the timeline with the Controller Bar, recording claims and night actions, checking the Visit Map for contradictions, and consulting Roles in Play to see how the set of remaining possibilities has changed.

• Reset the tracker when a new game begins.
• Add the lobby to the Player List and arrange players by seat order.
• Advance timeline phases such as Night 1 from the Controller Bar.
• Manually input claims and night actions in the Detail panel.
• Use Visit Map and Roles in Play to inspect contradictions and remaining role possibilities.
