Over its memorable twenty to thirty minute playtime, Murder takes players on a journey through a near-future Tokyo, following the actions of Lieutenant Motomeru Minori of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police on an unusual and dangerous case, in a story that explores the intersection of morality and sentience in a future where both have become commodities.
Features:
Engaging environmental storytelling and confident cinematic flair, equally inspired by the works of Fullbright and Blendo Games
Setting that presents fresh ideas while also paying homage to pioneers such as Masumune Shirow, Katsuhiro Otomo and Neal Stephenson
Experimental point & click style, partway between the classic form and a more minimal, streamlined one
Incredibly detailed cyberpunk world with expertly-crafted pixel art graphics
Rich and varied cast with full voice acting
Dynamic score by KubrixXx spanning noisehop, neo-classical, and ambient styles
The key thing to keep in mind is that this isn't really a game. It's a minimally interactive short story. And as short stories go, it is relatively spare. Nevertheless, it is very well executed, held my interest, and there are far less artful ways to spend a buck and a half hour. And it certainly gives you something to talk about.
I really loved the feel and environment of it all the voice acting was great. I didn't mind how short it was, good art and story can go a long way. I hope to see more like this in the future.
