Murder by the Dozen

About

You play a detective solving 12 murder cases by interrogating witnesses, collecting clues, and studying lab reports. Each case is a turn-based puzzle where decisions matter. Choose your interview order and evidence analysis to piece together the truth. Play alone or take on rivals in competitive modes. Available on classic systems like DOS and Commodore 64. Despite its 1983 release, the game’s focus on logical deduction feels surprisingly modern. The 12 scenarios offer varied challenges, from poisoned guests to staged accidents. While there’s no online data to reference, retro gaming circles often praise its clever use of early computer text interfaces. A straightforward design that still holds up for mystery enthusiasts.
