A Matter of Murder

About

A Matter of Murder is a point-and-click detective game set in a Victorian-era house party gone wrong. Each playthrough features procedurally generated murder scenarios that mix suspects, clues, and logic puzzles. You scour hand-illustrated rooms for evidence, interrogate quirky guests, and piece together timelines to identify killers. The campaign ramps up difficulty with layered puzzles while a separate challenge mode pressures you to solve cases faster. An in-game journal helps track notes as you navigate branching story possibilities. The game stands out for its detailed hand-drawn visuals and randomized case design that reshapes investigations each time. Optional customization lets you insert real names into the narrative for added personalization. A shifting soundtrack reacts to gameplay tension without overpowering dialogue. While puzzle complexity spikes in later chapters, the blend of atmospheric design and replayability has earned it a dedicated following among casual mystery fans.
