This is the same Werewolf game that is alternately called Mafia (easily looked up on wikipedia). Yes, there is a home/party version you play in person. The online game Town Of Salem is sorta similar but it has a lot of goofy roles you're not going to see this time around that make it play out very differently.
The one night variant is the best one to play in person. The full version is very similar to one night except the game takes place over multiple nights which means you have player elimination.
I've been trying to figure out running a one night game in slack but I've not got my shit together yet. One night has role switching which is a fun dynamic
