Just a heads up: The company behind Town of Salem has had a data breach that leaked the logins and passwords for the original game.
I suspect you don't have to create an account with them if you're running the game through Epic or Steam, but do consider if those accounts have any information attached that you wouldn't be comfortable sharing with them.
Steam has been pretty good about not letting developers have too much info about you, but they can definitely see your profile. I also vaguely recall some method of getting your true login name, which can snowball quick if your account was created while they were still using email addresses as logins and that email address is still in use.
The Big Con is pretty fun. Lots of 90's references.
I tried it on gamepass but only played for 30min tops, and wasn't into. How long does it take to give it a real shake do you think? Also are there any games that you would say if you like X you will most likely like The Big Con?

I havent ayed this one but I really enjoyed the first one. It definitely takes time to get into but once you learn all the roles and little details of each role and how they interact with each other, it's really fun

Did you make sure to turn on the laugh track in the audio settings?
You're right, though. It's really hard to get a read on that game.
I saw what it was trying to do with 90s throwbacks, but it felt like the dialogue was actually written by some Gen-Z who has only tangentially heard about the 90s from someone who found some old magazines.
Either that, or it's AI generated.
There really is a laugh track addition in the settings, but no dialogue that triggers it is particularly funny.

Anything that has to tell me something is funny is, by and in large not funny.

I take it you're Gen-Z or alpha? Or maybe just being way too pedantic?
The laugh track originated from shows being filmed in front of a studio audience, which originated from traditional stage plays going all the way back to Shakespearean works where the audience was encouraged to react to the play.
Aside from the fact that cutting out background noise from the audience wasn't technologically feasible in the 50s, the live audience was meant to be a stylistic choice of carried on tradition.
One might argue that the choice of some shows to include a laugh track without an audience is "telling you when to laugh", but again, it's simply a stylistic choice (which is obviously why this game included it). Also, have those people never watched a comedy with another human being? It's very likely that not everyone is going to simply exhale through their nose. Not everyone is that "high brow". If the only way you can find humor in something is by binge watching The Office alone in a dark room, the format isn't the issue.
Moreover, you might not realize this, but if you've ever watched a reaction video on YouTube or any other kind of streamer who overlays themselves on their "content", you're a hypocrite. It's the same base premise, only in a worse format.
I know this might not be relevant to most of you, but I am making a conscious decision not to use Steam since I found out that Valve is doing business as usual in Russia with no effort to scale down or pull out in any way whatsoever. My $2.49 every other month might mean nothing to them, but at least I will sleep better knowing Russia's rockets are not paid for by me.

Wdym? How does supplying games for people in another country result in missle funding?

Well for one, the company is paying taxes in that country, which generates revenue for the government to produce and/or buy weapons. There are a number of other side effects and moral dilemmas there as well. The way I see it, Valve is showing that the only thing that matters to them is profit. That doesn't sit well with me.

Fair enough on your part. Not every company has to get involved in politics imo. It's a whole a lot better than what blizzard did with that kid who wanted to speak up about the Hong Kong protest.

The only paid thing is the pack which is free to attract players.
