Catbox
A downloadable game
Catbox is a GM-less tabletop game meant to evoke crime-thriller movies about people with differing agendas all stuck in the same place (The Hateful Eight, Hotel Artemis, Bad Times at the El Royale, Clue). Each player will play a character with a secret agenda to complete, one that may or may not place them in direct opposition to the other characters and NPCs they are trapped with.

I adore catbox so much that I've spent tens of hours learning how to use lua and xml to make an overly-produced table of it for my friends in Tabletop Simulator.
10/10 best two dollars I've ever spent.
did you publish it? i'd love to try it out.
Alas, the UI features weren't quite up to the task back when I made the attempt. They may be nowadays, but I can't imagine diving back into it. The far easier solution was to give everyone a hidden zone, a pawn and two index cards (Character and Hidden Asset). We keep giant index cards at the end of the table for the pros/cons of the location, tarot cards for dealing, and a whiteboard flat on the table for roughing the area out in marker. It's made for at least 100 hours of improv shenanigans with friends!
(Bonus: Keep a d20 on hand for handling character disputes with "highest wins")
