Dawson Oaks Trailer Park
roles and tasks in 1.2.0

Dawson Oaks Trailer Park is a proximity-voice social deduction game from Striped Panda Studios. You move into a rundown trailer park, commit crimes to stay sane, and try to keep it hidden from the Supervisor - while a Snitch quietly reports everything you do. It launched on September 17, 2026 for $8.99 (10% off until September 24; $9.99 since), and update 1.2.0 now adds Cult recruitment and Community Service.

Start with the current role and task guides. Recruitment changes a resident's objectives, while arrest or a vote moves the player into cleanup work.

What the game actually is

• The launch roster plus Cult recruitment: eleven original suspect roles (Drug Dealer, Junkie, Moonshine Cook, Creep, Scrapper, Pyromaniac, Gambler, Thief, Drunk, Prankster and Hobo) plus the Supervisor and hidden Snitch; 1.2.0 adds Cult Leader and conversion into Cultists. See the full roles guide.
• Every round is about urges: committing your role's crimes keeps your sanity up, but obvious crimes get you arrested. The sanity and urges guide covers the numbers-free version of how it works.
• Meetings and votes: suspects call meetings and vote on who they think the Snitch is. Get it wrong and the Snitch survives; get it right and the park takes control.
• Police raids: the Supervisor watches, reports, and calls the cops on whoever they think is guilty. Arrested or voted-out players now perform Community Service, with task batches and a reward such as a single-use meeting vote.
• Proximity voice: push-to-talk is on T by default and everything is rebindable - see controls for the bindings we could verify.

What changed in 1.2.0

As Cult Leader, use the bedroom Shrine, invite residents through mailbox letters and attempt a ritual. Conversion replaces the old role; Cultists cannot recruit, and the Snitch is immune. After arrest or a vote, use the broom and task meter: finish three tasks, allow sixty seconds for another set and aim for the default seven-task reward. Roles · Community Service.

What changed in launch week

The game shipped on Thursday and had several hotfixes before the weekend. The one everyone asked about was 1.0.3 on September 19: it added Brazilian Portuguese localization, fixed the Supervisor's police call, fixed vote and result screens not showing for some players, and cleaned up a few smaller issues. We track every patch in the patch notes hub.
