Developer Waka Studio announced that their multiplayer bluffing social deduction party game, Cut That Wire will be coming to PC via Steam in 2025. A console release has not been announced.
In this game, players will work together to deactivate bombs strapped to their chests, playing minigames to deduce who is secretly an imposter, conniving against them. After each round, players will have to vote for the suspected fraudster to cut one of their wires, eliminate the imposter to win. If the imposter survives, a new round will begin.
Below is an overview of Cut That Wire via Waka Studio:
In Cut That Wire, you’re a hostage, strapped to a ticking bomb, trapped in a room with three others and one of them is an imposter working against you. Every ally could be your friend… or your undoing. As a victim, you must uncover the imposter before it’s too late, or fight to be the last one standing. One lucky victim plays the Engineer, who sees one safe wire that can be cut without detonation. As the imposter, deceive, manipulate and outwit everyone to survive but one wrong move could blow everything apart.
Each round throws players into tense ‘Big Bluff’ mini-games that test quick thinking and deception. In ‘Big Bluff Drawing’, players sketch from a prompt and reveal their work at the end, while the imposter works from a different prompt and must bluff their way through. ‘Big Bluff Picture’ challenges players to study an image and answer questions about what they saw, while the imposter struggles to stay convincing with an entirely different picture. And in ‘Big Bluff Deck’, players swap and manage number cards, trying to avoid suspicion and dodge being left with the lowest total.After each round, the group votes on who must cut a wire. The chosen player flips a coin: blue cuts their own wire, red cuts someone else’s. Imposters know which wires are lethal and must manipulate the others into fatal mistakes. One player, the Engineer, can identify a single safe wire and must try to steer the group, but convincing others isn’t guaranteed and even one hesitation can cost lives. With the bomb’s timer always ticking, every second counts and every word, glance and guess could be the difference between survival and detonation.
