The good side can win the game by either completing all kinds of tasks or identifying the impostor and kicking him out of the ship. Of course, if you’re the impostor all you have to do is bring out your alibi a-game and deceive everyone with your superb acting skills.

It’s available for free on Android and iOS mobile devices, while its PC version can be purchased on Steam.
