DEVIATION
Ever feel like you’re just... normal? Finally, there’s a trophy for that! DEVIATION is a social psychology game for friends who think they know each other. Everyone enters a secret number, but the winner isn't the highest or the lowest—it's the person who pins down the group's average.
It’s not just a game of math; it’s a game of manipulation. Do you play it safe with a "normal" number, or do you try to sabotage the results by going high to skew the mean? You’ll have to get inside your friends' heads: are they thinking logically, or are they trying to be the outlier? Every round is a fresh experiment in groupthink, ego, and the hilarious reality of how "average" your friends actually are.
Watch the results graph reveal your friends' chaotic logic in real-time. Did someone try to sabotage the mean? Did everyone think the same way? Grab your friends and find out who is the most average person in the room!
Disclaimer: This is a Local Multiplayer game, so if you don't have any friends nearby, you are out of luck! Or you could play alone? I guess it could work... (I’m working on a true online multiplayer version, so stay tuned!)
Feedback & Support: I plan to add a lot more features to the game. If you have any ideas on how to improve the experience, please leave them in the comments below! Any donation is welcome and helps speed up the development of the multiplayer update.

The game's design feels very polished and the audio also fits the theme very well. I admit i had a lot of fun playing with my siblings but the local multiplayer thing is pretty limiting. It gives me gartic phone vibes and if you manage to make a fully multiplayer version i'm certain that it will get popular fast!
Very interesting idea, I like it!
