A Matter of Murder

Small but very entertaining game. Quite similiar to Cluedo (which is a board game). Very high replayability due to case generator (which works just fine). Simple visuals are fine, music and gameplay are great. For this price - you must have it.

I love this game!... I've been looking for a Clue/Cluedo like mystery game with randomly generated cases; I found that in this game!.... If you're a fan of Clue/Cluedo and you know who Agatha Christie is or you like to watch Masterpieces Theater, you'll get a lot of added fun to this game. Don't let the art work fool you, in my opion the art work adds to the charm of the agme, I love it, it's both humorist and detailed, if you look hard enough. Solving the murder cases is fun, but it would be nice to solve other cases as well, like robber, arisen, Capers, black mail (that doesn't lead to murder), it would be cool if they added that in some dlc or something, but if they don't, that's cool, cause it's one of the best games you'll find in this genre. You can't beat that 2.99 price either. I would have paid 5.99 for this game to be honest. Well done to everyone responsible for making this game. It's a true gem. Thank you :)

A hidden gem of a game. I'm a big fan of logic and deduction games like Clue and Whodunnit, but sadly not a lot of friends share my enthusiasm. This game takes it up a notch with procedurally-generated mysteries so every playthrough is different. Add in the visual style, which is reminiscent of the Edward Gorey intros to PBS' Mystery... and you have a winner. Only thing it lacks is a fitting piano or organ score soundtrack, but that's easily remedied by popping on some music in the background. I actually discovered Matter of Murder in the Android Market when looking at similar games to another game... read a review that mentioned Jessa's youtube video... went to check it out and then came looking on Steam for it. Glad I did. Very nice game.

If you like to feel like a right ol' clever clogs, then coming back to A Matter of Murder may prop up your confidence in that ol' noggin. Why? Because, once you've learned the individual gimmicks via the story chapters, you can hit that "Generate case" button, and get the satisfaction of not only solving mysteries in a limited space of time (Good on you!), but being enough of a smart cookie to work out *which* gimmicks are being used (Sometimes, there's more than one), and avoiding Red Herrings. Even better, since individual mysteries take between five and ten minutes each? You can keep trying to solve them until you solve one and feel good about yourself for doing so. It's pretty accessible, it's simple to learn, but hard to play perfectly each time, and it's understated, murder mystery fun.

I've got about an hour into this one. I like it though, and here's why: I've been a gamer for a lot of years. It all started with games on a Texas Instruments computer back in the early '80s with such gems as Parsec and Hunt the Wumpus (not sarcasm, they WERE gems). Shortly thereafter Atari showed up along with Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS. Speaking of MS-DOS, here is where the relevancy to A Matter of Murder comes in. Back around then, I first played a game that used ASCI graphics called Sleuth. You roam a mansion examining possible weapons and question suspects until you solve it or get killed. This game is very similar to Sleuth except this one has graphics, sound, and music. You play as a budding detective in a typical British manor type setting with your usual suspects, various lords and ladies, an explorer, a couple foreigners, a veteran of the war, and a maid thrown together. One of them is murdered and it is up to you to point the finger at the culprit and say why it was done an...

This is a very fun murder mystery game, following the trope format of Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes stories. Each short 10-minute episode (which is procedurally generated on the fly, giving a different game each time) is a fun little logic puzzle, with whimsical and charming English humor. The graphics style is unique, but certainly fits the type and tone of the game. After a while, you'll start recognize the specific types of puzzles and will immediately remember how to solve them (but you still need to pull it off), so I hope that future updates will add to the diversity of the puzzles. But for only 3 bucks, this is a game that every murder-mystery fan should own.

This game has a lot of replayability and really makes you think about what questions you need to ask and what things you need to examine. Well done! I like it a lot. I have had no problems using it with windows 11...

Maybe I'm just picky, but I find it difficult to find mystery video games I like. A Matter of Murder is one of those hidden gems and I adore it! It's very similar to Clue and Whodunnit's with several clever cases already made and the option to have a new case made for you, which gives it great replayability. Plus, there's nothing quite like the feeling of 'Oh, I'm so smart' after you've flawlessly solved a murder. If you're a mystery fan and have been considering this game or just happened to stumble across this game, it's less than 3 dollars. Treat yo self.

I greatly enjoyed A Matter of Murder, which I would describe as a unique digital board game. It's very entertaining, self-aware, has a great replay value and amazing sense of humour that really makes the game special. Highly recommended to all lovers of classic English murder stories and making fun of them.

This game has style! If you love a cozy country house mystery, you'll love this winsome, note-perfect parody of the genre, complete with a huge cast of colorful characters, each with their own unique dialogue, and such inimitable quotations as "The Asylum For The Compulsively Stabby." Needs a little attention spelling errors and a couple of bugs, but it's nevertheless a delight.
