The hard shadows and art style of the sprites give the characters such a unsettling feel and I really enjoyed the sci-fi look of the interface, it did feel as though you were seeing the world through the eyes of the AI, hehe. As for the concept, the idea of solving a crime in five jumps is very neat, I feel like this has the potential for a more ambitious mystery! My only complaint here would be that I couldn't really focus on the dialogues while trying to patch up the ship because the errors popped up too fast, which I guess adds to the rush, but I couldn't figure out who to listen to at times and I would have appreciated a little pause or maybe a "case notes" tab where you could quickly see what you know? Anyhow, I don't know if a good ending is achievable or if I'm just not very good at the game (very possible), but I get that it's experimental, so it was interesting all the same!

About This Game
The astro hauler the SS Persephone is falling apart. You - the on-board AI - are being reactivated to perform the necessary repairs. The crew claims that the captain died in a mysterious accident, the same one that conveniently erased your memory banks. Who is telling the truth and who is just trying to buy time to finish the job they started? Welcome, to Starship Murder.
Features:
- Artificial Intelligence Perspective - become the AI of a starship.
- Experimental Gameplay - balance searching for the killer with repairing the ship.
- Digital Thriller - experience an atmosphere of tension and mistrust.

Making games can wear you down. A few months back as a break from our main project we created a little free game - Hank: Straightjacket. The experience was so invigorating that we decided to repeat this exercise whenever we get burned out. In the weeks before this year’s Summer Steam Next Fest once more we felt exhausted… And so… we took a breather and made Starship Murder. This game is an experiment in creating tension. We’re not exactly sure how people will interact with it :D If you’d like to share your playthrough we would be very happy to watch or read or hear about your experiences in any way.

This was very cool I loved this game not only the art is pretty funny but also great
The last jump is overwhelming at first... Cool concept. Love it
A Manly game for manly man
Nicely done! Took a few tries, but it was fun getting the right culprit at the end. Appreciated the interesting way of taking care of the killer, as well as the varied endings. Solid work with the art and music as well.
Fun to get all of the achievements. I like the idea of a murderer changing every run, so you can't learn the story and you always have to make difficult choices.

Whole 10 minutes of fun. High replayability.
