An MKG (mutual killing game) is a murder mystery games (like. if  you made Among Us or Mafia but for RP) with a limited (16-20) cast of  characters and highly character driven storytelling. Frequently, "power  roles" secretly shape the plot by masterminding the circumstances of the  game, and the mystery is unveiled over a series of highly structured  chapters for players to participate in.

I really enjoy these games because the limited length of the campaign  and the structured format really helps drive along character  development towards a satisfying ending. Players keep their character's  backstory mostly secret, and learn about the other characters in a very  natural and organic way.

The hardest part about these games is that applications are  competitive because mods choose small rosters in order to foster a tight  knit story. If you end up applying, don't feel bad if you don't get in,  it's not a reflection of your character-- many times, a character may  just not mesh as well with the chosen roster or overarching story  themes. There are frequently amazing apps that are best saved for  other/future campaigns too.
