Hey everyone,

Tutorial: 2 characters
Possession: 2 characters
Hostages: 2 characters
The Crown of Embers: 3 characters
Idols Blowing Up: 4 characters
Macbeth: 1 character
Hamlet: 2 characters

Got more players than the characters in a scene? No worries, any additional players will get to spectate and use the soundboard to contribute to the scene as well! (You can also try out the game in single player as well with the Macbeth 1 player scene.)
