Murder

About

Murder is a minimalist adventure game where you kill your way to the top of a royal hierarchy. Tap to stab your way up the ranks, replacing rulers with each successful assassination. The controls are simple but the path gets trickier as you navigate shifting alliances and increasing scrutiny. Each kill propels you forward in a chaotic chain of power grabs that escalates in absurdity. Beneath its cartoonish violence lies a sharp critique of greed and ambition. Players often note how the game’s breezy tone masks deeper reflections on how authority corrupts. With no dialogue or complex systems, it leans into its stripped-down design to let the moral ambiguity sink in. Released in 2020 it remains a quiet standout for its ability to blend dark humor with thoughtfulness.
