Where it came from
Linq was designed by Andreas Steiger and published by Bezier Games in 2013. The game was developed as a social deduction party game, aiming to challenge players to identify who is on their team while sharing information through coded clues. It emerged during a period of rising interest in hidden-identity games, focusing on minimalist communication and subtle psychological cues rather than direct confrontation.
The game's visual identity and mechanics were crafted to facilitate a blend of cooperation and deception, relying on a small deck of cards and a simple grid of words. It was received as a streamlined alternative to more complex social deduction titles, praised by hobbyist critics for its low barrier to entry and the ease with which it could be played in larger social gatherings.
