So this is like death note games?
Yes, it's pretty similar.
Usually 25% from the players are mafia/wolves and they know each other and share a chat where they plan a strategy. The rest are uninformed, townies/villagers, and they try to find who are the wolves by talking in the thread during the day phases. At the end of a day phase is eliminated the player who has most of the votes, and the host reveals his alignament. Mafia can kill in night phases a player at their choice.
Mafia wins when no one can eliminate them, usually when their number is equal with the number of the remained townies, town wins when all mafia are dead.
That is the basic setup of a game where everyone has only simple roles, but a mafia game can have pretty complex roles for each player, every role giving a better chance to win to their faction and bringing unknown variables, making the game more unexpected and thrilling.
