Hi all. If you're a fan of murders mysteries, detective games, or puzzles, this one is for you!

I gave a crack at creating a browser-based, murder mystery puzzle game. It's similar to the Hunt a Killer board games or The Roottrees are Dead, in the sense that you don't control a detective character and walk around the crime scene. Instead, the evidence is simply shown to you. Read, analyze, and draw conclusions to figure out what happened!

Play the game here: https://triplesmeven.itch.io/murder-at-the-occult-club. No download required, play directly in the browser!

If there's any issues on the itch version, you can also play the game directly where it's hosted: https://murder-at-the-occult-club.vercel.app/game

Please leave your feedback and thoughts. I'm especially curious about which puzzles are difficult so I can make the hints better. Appreciate you trying out my game!

Played the game for about 15-20 minutes, and honestly there isn’t much that needs improving that I can think of.

The only thing I struggled with was that after solving the police report, you suddenly get access to A LOT of documents and have to answer a lot of questions at once. I may have preferred if the information and questions were given more gradually. At the same time, I haven’t really played games like this before so maybe people who do prefer it this way?

Hey! Just played through it, and it was a great experience — gotta love a good mystery, specially when I had to do most of the figuring out. 

The only thing worth pointing out is that it was hard to work on the objectives without having the notes tab visible. I had to write everything down on a notepad to figure it out, but I think that having both tabs open at the same time would've been a great help. Regarding bugs, at one point I came across a bug that made the objectives tab look like I hadn't solved it even though I had, and it was a small distraction when I went back to it (the Text Messages one when the online orders weren't done already).

 Otherwise, it was very good, and it was challenging but not impossible. Looking forward to your next mystery! ( ´ ▽ ` )
