Skip it if you…

- Players who want varied objectives may find the repeated body-and-clue search format narrow.
- Players seeking multiplayer play may prefer a game with a multiplayer focus.
Our take on homicide
The focused search format keeps the objective clear, but it leaves little room for varied investigation: both levels center on finding a body and five clues. That trade-off suits a compact puzzle, while limiting the range of tasks across the game.
What is homicide?
This first-person investigation game places the player at a murder scene.
Each level requires finding a body and then locating five clues scattered around the area to complete it. Focusing on the body or a clue for more than 2 seconds triggers a dialog box indicating that it has been found. The game has two levels. Movement uses WASD, running uses Left Shift, and jumping uses Space.
