In the past, I've written (and rewritten) about this game, and none of those musings exist anymore because they bordered on being too personal. I don't have much to say about that. If I have to apologize for being a bit too nervous, I will!

None of that has any bearing on my current score for Town of Salem. My personal recommendation is, if you're looking for this kind of experience, play the sequel. The New User Experience is ass and nobody bothers to help you, but there are more people playing it...

and less of them are as flagrantly racist, ableist, and just straight-up shitty as they are in its predecessor. Yeah, the first Town of Salem is like that now. I've seen people pretty much admit to making alts because their previous accounts were banned for using racial slurs, and I don't know if any of them have ever adequately been punished for it. The volume of it is just that high at the moment.

I will say, points to the game for no longer allowing the use of that ableist slur in its chat. But that hasn't stopped people from using shorthands instead.

My own struggles as a person aside, play another game.
