20 Best Murder Mystery Games

Video games are the ideal platform for solving mysteries. Taking a look at the full breadth of all the video games ever made, there really aren’t as many murder mystery games as you’d think. As kids, the board game
Clue introduced us to the basics of detective work, and video games give us the tools to expand our investigative skills even further with unique stories and puzzling gameplay. There’s just something special about collecting clues, questioning suspects, and figuring out the culprit.
That’s why we’ve put together a list of the 20 best murder mystery games available right now. This list is in no particular order we just want to share some of our favorites. It’s surprising how varied these games are. You’d think we’d only have adventure games to choose from, but the murder mysteries on our list range from action-shooters to pure puzzlers. There’s bound to be one game on our list you absolutely shouldn’t miss, no matte

As Abraham Lincoln once said, boy, do I love a good video game. But since his time, how many of those video games have actually been life-changingly good? How many video games can we truly describe as The Shawshank Redemption of shmups or The Shrek 2 of JRPGs ? Well, I put that answer to you, dear readers.

Gamasutra sent some questions to Oli Clarke Smith, creative director for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize-nominated game, who talked about the challenges of making a detective game where you can follow your own theories on the evidence no matter what they are, as well as the appeal of making the player really do some detective work if they want some answers.

Videogame awards are good for three things: they encourage people to continue creating new work; they direct attention towards particular pebbles among the otherwise amorphous landslide of new game releases; and they give bystanders like me something of mercifully little consequence to gripe about when nominations don t align with our personal tastes.
I m sad to report that the Independent Games Festival has delivered only two out of three in 2021. The nominations for this year s IGF Awards were announced yesterday, but they have left me little to gripe about.
Sure, there s some changes I d make, but there s no glaring omissions in my eyes. The panel of jurists have correctly identified that Teardown was one of the best games released last year, for example, and so it is nominated for both the Seumas McNally Grand Prize and Excellence In Design. The Grand Prize nominees also include Paradise Killer, Umurangi Generation, and Spiritf
