Wrongly Accused

About

Wrongly Accused is a point-and-click adventure where players sift through a tangled murder mystery set against 1970s Italian politics. The story centers on Tony, a man framed for the mayor’s assassination, with all evidence pointing to his guilt, but everything feels suspiciously staged. You’ll gather clues, interview witnesses, and piece together motives in a narrative that prioritizes figuring out the method over identifying the killer. The game’s strength lies in its layered storytelling, where red herrings and bureaucratic corruption muddy the waters. What sets it apart is the inclusion of co-op and multiplayer modes, a rare touch for the genre. Collaborative play adds tension as players cross-check theories or work at odds. Inspired by Columbo’s twist-heavy approach, the game leans into its How-Dunnit format with a gritty, noir-tinged setting. While it lacks the large cast of a classic whodunit, its focus on procedural sleuthing and 70s-era atmosphere keeps the mystery tight and twisty.
