If you consider cryptids hidden aspects a hidden role then I'd say that one.

It's interesting. I like the idea of hidden information in a lot of forms so I'll count it!

Nice article. I think my favorite hidden role game is#Secret Hitler with#Werewords Deluxe Edition coming in a close second.
The only non social deduction games I'm aware of with anything that can kind of be described as hidden roles is#Cosmic Frog or#Cosmic Encounter. You have a special ability in both that you keep hidden until you need it. Not sure if this exactly counts though
