This game is not based off of a book. The game mechanics and roles are based off of the party game mafia and the game Starcraft 2 Mafia, and the characters in it are based off of the actual Salem Witch trials, which also inspired the play  The Crucible.

And everything- literally everything that has ever happened ever had a cause in something else. There is nothing, with the exception of the Big Bang, that we cannot find a cause for. All games and fiction are inspired by other games, works of fiction, and real life. There is never ever going to be an exception to this.

Yes, this game has lore.

No, we shouldn't base any sort of balancing off of lore.
