I enjoyed every minute. It's simple, but intriguing adventure and the perfect game for a quiet night in on the sofa. The mechanics with Cleo and all of the hidden tasks/Easter eggs were a joy to play through. Will we see another game from my two new favorite detectives? I certainly hope so
For its price (I bought it and the its sequels at a 50% discount), this is a really cute game and really well done. It's short, but interesting. I think it would do with some more puzzles or mini-games, since, as it is, the main gameplay consists of exploring, talking to people and picking up items you have found. But it was interesting enough to buy and play the other games. I do not regret it one bit.
A very fun short murder mystery that I recommend to fans of the genre. Excellent music and some fun characters with a well-written story. It does suffer for being the first creation of a one-man studio- some of the gameplay is unpolished (the inability to reread the note stood out to me) and the gimmick of swapping between Guy and Cleo grew old after I found there was no reason to ever explore as Guy or talk to anyone as Cleo. Nevertheless, this feels like the kind of game where I'll tell people in ten years "Yeah, the first entry's a bit weak, but it's worth sticking around!"
I really enjoyed playing, it was fun interviewing suspects and doing deductions.I also liked those bonus parts you could do beside crime solving. Definitely worth the time you get for that price.
Murder Is Game Over is a nice 2 hour murder mystery game. You could definitely finish or even complete this game in one sitting if you want. The plot is understandable and somewhat intriguing although not exactly mind-blowing. The controls and gameplay are simple to understand although I wish it was a bit faster. The pixelated character and background sprites are easy enough to understand and somewhat pleasing. Finally, the music sounds amazing and fits the game's atmosphere very well. There are easter eggs and treasure hunts when playing the game which while I enjoyed quite a lot, I do feel like the pay-off is not exactly worth it and it was there just to add more content. Overall, I would recommend the game if you are craving for a short mystery game. And if you like the game, I would recommend checking out the other M.I.G.O. standalone sequels.
[No neutral review button - I'd still recommend the game, but more so if it is on sale or discounted] Had a discount coupon to use so I got the game for about $2.15 SGD, looked fun so decided to just give it a try. It is a very brief game about 1.5 - 2 hours or slightly more if you're looking to complete all the achievements. But it is a very nice little story, does tease your brain a little bit but no penalties if you get any answers wrong. I'd say its a nice refresher, probably wouldn't have gotten it if it was full price but it was still a fun little palette cleanser. Story was intriguing enough! I've also just learned that Murder Is Game Over is a series of small games, I can see why they'd charge individually so it does explain the short playtime for each instalment. Still a fun little game tho!
great murder solving game! had to scratch my head a couple of time for this one! if you like solving crimes, go around to get clues, read stories and make your own investigation, that game is for you! loved that you can play as the dog and get different clues that human can't see or smell! great game for cheap price!
A very short but charming little adventure game. With your protagonist's wits and his dog's keen sense of smell you will snoop around several maps, looking for clues to discover the truth about a game dev's grisly death. Simple, easy to play, engaging.
Рекомендую (9 із 10). Доволі хороший детектив як на свою ціну. За більше ніж годину в мене не було такого відчуття нудьги. Наоборот чим дальше ведеш рослідування, тим більш цікавішою стає гра. Тут гравцю наданий стандартний набір детективу - є підозрюванні, докази, та відносно заплутанний сюжет. Гра не заставляє гріндити а виключно дає гравцю розвагу на більш ніж годину часу. Я думав що сюжет буде банальний(від частини так і є), але не зважаючи що багато хто говорить що розумів вже зразу хто скоїв злочин, я в самому кінці (після збору всіх доказів та після всіх допитів) аж зрозумів хто що де і коли. P.S. Бал зняв за всякі знаходження предметів, які по суті не впливають на геймплей, а потрібні тільки для ачівок, їх можна було якось вплести в сюжет але їх так і лишили.
