@Bix: YTTD, within the title screen itself, is called a "Death Game by Majority". Basically, a group of people end up getting kidnapped (including the protagonist and her best friend) and are brought to some sort of building where they're forced into playing multiple (usually dangerous) games and completing various objectives given by their kidnappers. The proxies for the kidnappers take the form of doll-like humans (? or is it human-like dolls?) and at the end of each floor (I think) everyone is forced into the Main Game.

Main Games are kind of similar to the game Mafia (or at least the version of Mafia that I'm familiar with), in which everyone is assigned a different role, the roles being Sacrifice, Keymaster, Sage, and Commoner. Each Main Game consists of two voting rounds; in the first, 5 people are voted into being the only people you can vote for in the second round. Whoever wins the majority vote in the second round is sentenced to death, usually. However, depending on the roles everyone has, the outcome might actually be different. If the Keymaster is voted off, then everyone else is killed alongside them. If the Sacrifice is voted off, then the Sacrifice survives, and everyone else (besides a person of the Sacrifice's choosing I believe) dies. The Sage is no different than a Commoner (who basically has no special role, and can be voted for safely without endangering the majority) aside from the fact that they have the knowledge of who the Keymaster is. However, since the Sage has no special protection, voting for the Sage is a safe bet for the majority.

To figure out who will be voted off, there are discussions for each round of the Main Game, which can get rather heated (especially considering how risky the votes are). The Main Game isn't the entire game, but it's the part where the tensions are highest, similar to Class Trials in Danganronpa. Basically, the main plot is centered around the characters wanting to get out of the situation. I don't think my explanation is the best one there is for Your Turn to Die, but that should give you an idea of what it's about
