I’m an absolute sucker for a hidden traitor mechanic. Boardgames like Battlestar Galactica, Werewolf, and Secret Hitler (the latter of which might be my absolute favourite board game). More recently I’ve just started playing Among Us (I never got into it during its ~2020 peak) which is the first time I’ve seen the hidden traitor translated well into video games (unless you count that one minigame from Jackbox Games).
If you haven’t heard of the game Blood on the Clocktower, you should definitely check it out! It’s a bit more involved than the other games on your list, but it’s become my holy Grail of social deduction games
You might find the game Gnosia interesting then. It’s a visual novel with a hidden traitor mechanic mixed with a time loop, which is partly there to narratively explain how and why the hidden traitor changes each time.
