Dead By Murder

I really wanted to like this game, but unfortunately it just isn't good. Each case is just a collection of up to 4 suspects and up to 4 witnesses. You can talk to all of them (which gives you a line of written dialogue) and you can investigate the witnesses (which gives you a clue or nothing). The problem is that everything takes time, especially investigating. Since you get no useful information on the suspects, you have nothing to base your decisions on. Basically all you can do is memorize which investigations are useful and do those on your second or third playthrough. You're not a sleuth, you're playing Memory. The pictures of Old Hollywood actors for the people are fitting, but since they are assigned randomly each time you start a case, you cannot use them to remember who is who. You better write down the names. Another problem is that some cases can only be solved by asking one of your sources of inside information. However, those will stop helping you unless you deliberately drop certain cases. So you can choose to lose a case now or lose some cases later. Great fun! I guess the developers were going for moral decisions like in "Papers, Please!", but in that game you just had to look the other way for a minute of your day, not deliberately screw up a case that took you a week to solve. Edit - my answers to the developer's response: > But the faces are assigned randomly IN PURPOSE so that you CANNOT remember who is who. The problem is not that the faces are randomly assigned, but that there is no way to determine, which investigation could be useful. More randomization compounds this problem. > I wasn’t going for moral decisions but for strategic ones. Yes, you can decide which people to please - for the current case. But annoying your internal sources will make later cases impossible to solve. That is the problem.

Любопытная идея симулятора сыщика, которая крайне посредственно реализована. Если вы хотите попробовать нечто подобное, то игру отдают со скидкой за 15 рублей, но лучше посмотрите на скриншоты – симпатичный внешний вид и потрясающая секретарша достойны внимания, а игру можно и пропустить. Суть игры в том, что нам сообщают информацию об убитом, тут же показывают подозреваемых, свидетелей и три «особых» варианта, которые могут помочь – стукач, медиум и криминальный авторитет. Всех можно опросить, подозреваемых разработать и установить слежку. Имея на руках доказательства можно начать «колоть» потенциального убийцу. Вроде все круто – тут допросил, там покопался, нашел нового свидетеля, вышел на настоящего убийцу и закрыл дело! Но увы, автору почему-то захотелось добавить в процесс таймер. Что может быть хуже ограниченных по времени заданий? Рак яичек, наверное, но это не точно. В итоге нам отводится 7 дней на все дело, а любое действие пожирает слишком много времени. Опросить – шесть часов, разработать – сутки, слежка – двое (!!!) суток. И даже финальный допрос с пристрастием можно проводить в трех режимах, требующих разное время. А чтобы вы не расслаблялись у нас еще есть жена, которая требует внимания – если не закончите дело с запасом в день, то она будет расстраиваться и в итоге уедет, сделав нам гейм овер. Время разрешено продлять на 7 часов за всю игру, но это совершенно не влияет на процесс. В итоге нам дается первое суперлегкое дело, после которого вы, скорее всего, не раскроете ни одного вообще. Тупо не будет хватать времени. В обучающем туториале автор игры прямо советует опрашивать только свидетелей, потому как подозреваемые не говорят чего-то кроме «Вы что, МЕНЯ подозреваете?! Да я в нем души не чаял!» Перебрать все возможные варианты не получится никак, а разные методы добычи информации не заменяют друг друга. Поискали информацию о подозреваемом, ничего не нашли и перешли к следующему? Ну и дураки, надо было проследить за ним, тогда бы вышли на еще одного свидетеля! Общее количество дел ограничено, начав новую игру я тут же попал на уже знакомое дело. В итоге раз за разом мы достучимся до правды, но… какая в этом радость? Мы методом подбора-перебора наткнулись на единственно верный задуманный разработчиком путь? Я рассчитывал на геймплей, когда мы как-то своей дедукцией и размышлениями сможем приходить к разгадке. Что особенно убило, так это наши трое особых помощников – всю игру медиум говорила мне какую-то муть, стукач в половине случаев не знал о чем речь, а авторитет взамен просит об услуге, из-за чего к нему приходить не хочется. Не говоря уже про время – даже найти известного стукача можно только за 12 (!) часов, это какое-то издевательство.

Öncelikle herkese merhabalar diyerek başlamak istiyorum incelememe. Oyun gerçekten güzel ve eğlenceli. Size bir takım veriler veriyor ve belirli de bir süre. Bu zaman zarfı içerisinde cinayeti aydınlatmanızı istiyor. Çeşitli şüpheliler ve tanıklarınız var. Aynı zamanda size bilgi sağlayan muhbirlerde devreye girebiliyor. Zamanınızı idareli bir şekilde kullanarak insanları sorguluyorsunuz. Şüphelendiğiniz birileri varsa eğer onu takip edip veri topluyorsunuz. Tüm bunları yaparken ailenizede zaman bırakmanız gerekiyor. Oyunun türkçe dil desteğide var. Normal fiyatı 6 lira ancak indirimle 1 liraya satın aldım. Bir liraya alınabilecek en güzel çerez oyun diye bilirim.

The non-serious atmosphere really doesn't suit a whodunit style game. Also the game is more about pure luck than actual deduction (even when you know who the killer is, the game still forces large amounts of RNG luck)

Fun for a few hours. Sort of repetitive in the sense that you need to manage your time super hard for some cases, and others are done in seconds, so you make yourself a handwritten guide on who to accuse, how to get that conclusion, so you don't get fired before the end of the game. I think it's worth the price and fun, just be aware that you'll see many of the same things over and over until it's easy for you

ДА! эта игра определенно стоит вашего внимания. С первого взгляда можно сказать что это какая-то хрень за 19 центов, но, когда ты завершишь свое первое дело, о да, ты войдешь в состояние полной эйфории. Боже, эта игра самая лучшая из всех дешманских игр. Но советую брать только по скидкам ибо два доллара это дофига и больше. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! игра для тех кто знает англ или хотя бы турецкий язык, иначе вы не раскроете ни одного дела и будете жать куда попало, всем спс)

[h1] Final Verdict: Not worth it, pass or buy deep sale if it sounds interesting enough that you don't mind wasting a buck or two [/h1] I should have liked this game. It's exactly the game that's right up my alley. I llike Film Noir, true crime, investigations, critical thinking, choose your own adventure, solving puzzles, etc. After playing this game for 45 minutes, I'm not sure what this game is or what it was going for. It seems to be mostly about random luck and also memorization of past gameplays to see what worked and didn't work. So maybe this game is about forcing the player to do several playthroughs. See although there is some randomness to the order of cases you get, eventually you will start seeing the same cases. So if you know something didn't work in the past, you can try something different this time. And if you remember who the killer is, then you can easily solve the case the second time around. This game is really a time management game / dice rolll game. I say that because there's no way to do everything you need to do to solve who is the culprit. So you'll have to take a guess early on and hope your investigation pays off. If it's looking like a no go and your time is close to running out, it's usually better to drop the case than to waste the finite resource of adding time. You can add time to finish off an investigation, but it should only be used as a last resort if you're close to solving a case. And your wife will be upset with you if you don't solve a case early. Your boss will be mad at you if you drop a case or don't solve it. The mysterious admirer will be pleased unless you don't do favors (like dropping cases). You can enlist the help of a snitch, a psychic, or a mob boss. Each comes with a price, at least timewise. However, nothing can save the game from the sheer randomness of it all. I could live with that if the writing or gameplay were otherwise interesting, but it's not. It's boring trying to solve these cases. Yes, it is fun when you read something and it leads to you having a good guess as to who the murderer might be and to be correct. But that's really a small part of the gameplay. Luck & time management and/or multiple playthroughs is the crux of the game and it's just not interesting enough to put up with that. Rate 4/10. So after 45 minutes I'm done and I'm going to uninstall the game, at least I got this in a bundle. Nice assets though. I really liked the aesthetic. Just the gameplay is not there.

A dull repetitive game. Just click and read and run against a stupid time limit. Have so long to investigate but must take time off for family more time for the confession, completely stupid.

I love almost everything about this game, but there is no way to win. You don't have enough time to complete the cases, which can get you fired, game over. You can't keep your wife happy unless you spend loads of time with her instead of on the cases, so she leaves and game over. I really can't imagine anyone being able to complete all of the cases and win this game. Oh yeah, I was playing on easy and still couldn't do it. I'm so disappointed in this game that I would ask for a refund if I had paid more than 49 cents.

Oyundaki aktivitelerin gereksiz süre kullanımı değiştirilmediği sürece oynanmaz. Normal modda 6 gün 23 saat 59dk veriyor. Katili kesin olarak yakalamak için ona ve tanıklara minimum 4 gün vermelisiniz. İnceleme 24, gözetleme 48, normal sorguya çekme 24 (kolay sorgu 12), 2 adet tanık ifadesi 12 saat (toplam 4 tane var gereksiz süre harcayanları saymadım). Doğru tanıkları bulmak da şans işi. 4 şüpheli olduğuna göre birine yatırım yaparsanız oyunu kazanma şansınız olmuyor. Ekstra süre alabilirsiniz (toplam 10 gün) fakat o süreler tüm oyun boyunca geçerli olduğundan tasarruflu kullanılmalı. Oyun şans oyunu olmuş.
