Steffen Baumgart

Steffen Baumgart is an independent developer who has translated the acclaimed social deduction board game “Blood on the Clocktower” into a fully featured online platform, preserving the original’s intricate web of bluffing, hidden roles and layered storytelling. The software recreates the townsfolk-versus-demon dynamic for remote groups, supplying an automated storyteller engine that handles night-order resolution, private whispers, nomination votes and day-phase timing without the need for a human moderator. Typical use spans casual game nights, competitive leagues and streamed tournament spectacles, with built-in video chat integration, custom scripting support for homebrew characters, and replay archives that let communities dissect every claim and counter-claim. Interface options accommodate both first-time players through guided prompts and veterans who demand granular macro controls, while cross-device synchronization keeps long-running campaigns intact across laptops, tablets and living-room TVs. The codebase is maintained in the open, accepting pull requests for new editions and localization packs, yet release builds are code-signed and distributed through stable Windows channels to guarantee painless, malware-free updates. Blood on the Clocktower Online is offered for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are pulled from trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always deliver the latest version, and can be installed individually or in batch alongside other applications.
