These aren't my types of games to actually play, but they are a delight to watch! And I have to say, I think I like the mechanics in Which Wizard better than those of Among Us.
First, congrats to the devs on actually making a game. I am well aware how hard it is to actually get anything to a really playable state. However, as someone who has played (and especially watched) far too much Among Us I can't imagine playing this game. I mean that literally, I can't imagine convincing 9 friends to buy this game and sit down to play it at the same time. Even if I bought it for people (its cheap enough) scheduling 10 people to play the same game at the same time is so hard. It took a global pandemic where many people had to give up a bunch of other hobbies for a time and were forced to be at their computers to make Among Us work. Among Us is now at least popular enough that you can play in public lobbies to round out the people you're missing but I highly doubt this game would ever capture enough players to get good quality games without ridiculous wait/queue times. And even if you did get a game you'd run into the same issues Among Us public lobbies have with people leaving or trolling. Switch to 15 max players helped alleviate some of that for Among Us but that's requiring an even bigger player base for this game to work. These type of games just don't really work with small amounts of players. We saw at the start of the stream when playing with 5 the flow is: get 1 kill -> vote 1 person out -> game ends (either evil gets voted or doesn't and just gets 1 more kill for the win). So you only have 1 round of information for the entire game and if you have kill cooldown of 30s then that means a game is literally 30s long (plus meeting time). At that point there is no reason to do tasks as you will never get a task win. People can have restraint and skip to get 1 more round of information but then you run into the other problems. For example, the size of the map doesn't scale with the number of players. So what might be a good amount of running into other people or finding bodies with 10 players becomes never seeing anyone with 4 or 5. The result is 1 to 2 rounds of no information to try and solve the game. It just doesn't work. As a side note - in a normal Among Us game people will intentionally group more at later stages in the game because they understand the risk and are also finished their tasks causing people to be spread out less. Because tasks refresh in this game there is no mechanism to draw people together as the game progresses. So even if you start with 10 people you'll get the same lack of interaction in later rounds as if you started with less. Giving good people a way to defend themselves with the frog is an interesting and fun take on things. But many of the other spells seems very tame. For example, the crow is literally just cams from Among Us but with less counter play (no cams light that I saw and the cams person could be hiding anywhere or moving so its hard to target them). None of the abilities jumped out as being as interesting as the roles in Among Us (especially modded). I don't mean to be harsh on the devs. Again, I understand making anything is very hard. This is just some honest feedback.

I swear, I don't hate Dans!
Dan Prime should definitely have let Carrie control the evil wizard.
2:16:53 Dan Jones’ “I panicked!! I panicked!!” Was SO funny
1:43:55
I had completely forgotten I wasn't just watching a vod, so that time skip startled me. I'm grateful for it, I just wasn't expecting it!
Giving a "like" because of that super cute moment when they gathered around the fire to tell the story of how Dan helped with the animation.
I just love these wizards toddling around
Oh hell yes, you were involved in the Will shenanigans
Is among us but wizards just "a magus"?
Let the enfrogening begin! Frogs, frogs everywhere! 🐸🐸🐸

That gray wizard seems real sketchy.

Really enjoyed this! 😊
This is a very cool and adorable game! Bought, love it and left a review
Aren't all wizards evil, at the end of the day?
What about gandalf?
