About This Game

Death by Begonia is a surreal LGBTQ+ Southern gothic murder mystery Developed by a wife/wife team, Begonia follows Riley's attempts to reconnect with old childhood friends in a town haunted by annual serial murders. Will you fall in love and unlock the mysteries hidden in your friends' hearts? Or will you die trying?

After a ten-year absence, Riley Airhart returns to their hometown of Begonia, Arkansas and meets up with old friends, only to find that a serial killer has been plaguing the town ever since Riley disappeared. Rekindle old flames, explore Begonia, and solve the mystery at the heart of the town's serial murders.

Part 1 contains both Regression (Aidan's Route) and Repression (Lucia's Route). Part 2 coming soon.

Regression, or Aidan's Route, is the first part of Riley's narrative. It introduces Aidan Frost, son of the late mayor, as you fall in love with him, discover his dark secrets, and find the person who murdered his father.

Repression, or Lucia's route, is the second part of Riley's narrative. It follows Riley's rocky relationship with Lucia Lyga as you attempt to reconcile your differences, dip your toes into the conspiracies surrounding the town, and uncover some of her dark secrets as well.

Developed by a wife/wife team, Death by Begonia: Part 1 is over 100k words, with 8 different endings, 20+ unique songs, 50+ unique CG's, and 30+ hand-drawn backgrounds.

I loved both Lucia and Aidan's routes. There's still so much I must be missing, maybe I haven't made the right choices yet to see who is Stella's killer and the identity of the Begonia Killer. I'd love, love, love to see an update where you can have an option to romance all of the main friend group, I want to know more about them and also, I find Ezra and Jude, and Kris really cute so I am really hopeful that there will be a chance to explore a route with them in the future. Amazing game, keep it up! I will def recommend this to friends.

This could've been a happy, healthy poly relationship Ok for the actual review though I... should probably withold my judgement until the rest of the routes are released, but... The point of a mystery game is that... That you solve the mystery... That you get the answers... There are two routes in this game with 8 endings, and it took me about 10 hours to get through all of them None of which you learn the titular Begonia Killer's identity (Although in one of them your girlfriend knows? But You don't ask & she doesn't tell???? Like... Literally why???) Most of the important plot points in the game had me going "Yeah, okay, but like... Literally why, though???" The story is weak and there are multiple points in it where any normal person asking one single question would avoid sooooooo many problems later on, but they don't ... I will say though... Despite everything, it WAS entertaining. I did spend 10 hours with it The dialogue in the game is either packed FULL of information or its...
