Our take on Murder
Rather than following the lengthy, puzzle-heavy structure associated with many point-and-click adventures, Murder presents a compact investigation. Its reduced interaction model places the emphasis on atmosphere, story, and environmental details over extended mechanical challenge.
What is Murder?
Murder is a short point-and-click adventure set in a cyberpunk version of near-future Tokyo.
Players follow Lieutenant Motomeru Minori of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police during an unusual and dangerous investigation. The story examines morality and sentience in a society where both have become commodities. Its interaction model sits between traditional point-and-click design and a more minimal format. The game uses environmental storytelling, detailed pixel-art visuals, a voice-acted cast, and a score spanning noisehop, neo-classical, and ambient styles. Mouse, keyboard, and gamepad controls are supported.
