May 2025
The Matriarch is a stealth-based multiplayer party game where you play as Sinners disguised as bots trying to escape a convent while one player hunts as the Matriarch. It’s an interesting mix of deception and strategy, with customisation settings and quirky sacrificial mechanics that give it a fun edge. It runs well, even on the Steam Deck. The main issue is the lack of an active player base—most of the time there are only a few players online, making public matchmaking near impossible. If you’ve got friends to play with, it’s enjoyable, but if you’re looking for quick online matches, it’ll likely disappoint.

It's a very simple yet fun multiplayer. Get this game with a group(!) of friends and play it together because if you hope to find random people online then you will find practically no one.

was really fun when I bought it, should of been free to play imo with paid cosmetics or something and needed specific things to be fixed ASAP, there was a game breaking issue I eventually realized where you can easily tell the difference between bots and players because of stutter frame lag the players had and from what i remembered it was either never fixed or fixed way too late for me RIP
