Murdered: Soul Suspect

An oldschool, compact experience, little hidden gem. It have a couple of nice, unique mechanics, an interesting detective story, and simple forgiving gameplay. I was surprised by how much I ended up enjoying it.

More of a 6/10 and a neutral review There's potential here that wasn't fully realized. The demon vanquishing mechanic wasn't fully utilized and ended up being more annoying than engaging. The game is more of a visual novel that can be watched in one sitting. The investigation aspect is more of a cursory hunt for objects that pop up with an interact icon. I did overall enjoy the story. The ending felt like the weakest part of it. It's also unfortunate that the auto save completely locks you out of continuing to try to 100% the game by trying to hunt down the extra notes and artifacts once you go through the ending. Tl;Dr: enjoyed the story and general detective story romp. Didn't like the overall mechanical design.

Great game, pretty short, 100%ing pretty much exclusively consists of one massive collectathon with alot of missable collectibles so do keep that in mind and have a guide handy if you plan on getting that blue ribbon, works great on steamdeck, on the downside I keep trying to walk through walls in real life now and I think I might be concussed, also it works great on steamdeck. ..wait did I already say that....this light hurts

Plusy: + krótka (wymaxowałam w 14 h) + brak jumpscare'ów + świetny plot twist na końcu + każda znajdźka ma swój numer lub nazwę, więc można łatwo zlokalizować brakujące Minusy: - brak free play po zakończeniu, więc jeśli nie znalazłaś wszystkich znajdziek przed ostrzeżeniem, że nie wrócisz już do Salem, to nici z osiągnięć - dość powtarzalna - brak mapy (z uwagi na zupełny brak orientacji w terenie latałam jak kurczak bez głowy próbując wrócić do wcześniejszych lokacji)

a fun game as a ghost cop with a sordid past. this is a game i missed from what i consider to be the greatest era of gaming 2010-2020. you work along with a psychic kid trying to answers to many mysteries. it has a spooky vibe and the game mechanics are pretty solid.

It's a bit janky at times but I really enjoyed the characters and plot, and it had some interesting mechanics

If you manage your expectation this can be a nice little title. Part stealth part investigation, story driven narrative this is a pretty good game. It's far from the most amazing thing ever but you can give it a lot of props. Great presentation, ideas, art, voice work. I wasn't disapointed and I found myself come back to it until I reached the end. The writing is solid, and it doesn't treat you like a child. The mystery was a proper mystery. If you're interested, then give it a go.

я обожаю эту игру с детства, и люблю ее до сих пор, это была чуть ли не первая сюжетная игра, в которую я поиграла. Но сейчас, когда я стала постарше и вернулась в нее, я поняла, насколько она на самом деле разочаровывает. Геймплей повторяющийся, несколько побочных квестов не кажутся особо стоящими, расследования, где ты шатаешься по полчаса, чтобы найти бумажку, которая нужна, для раскрытия дела и продолжения основной сюжетки, только чтобы через 5 минут снова оказаться в такой же ситуации. Игра на самом деле не очень длинная, а это значит, что большую часть времени ты просто тратишь на поиски крошечных улик, шастая по комнате размером 0.5 квадратных метра, и каждую секунду задаешься вопросом «я че дебил?», потому что игра вообще не подсказывает, где эти улики могут быть. В целом, интересная задумка, очень хотелось бы увидеть ремейк этой игры.

A good detective game. Find clues then choose clues to conclude investigations. The story is good, there a bit of twist at the end. The control is a bit cluncky and there are some glitches. A game freeze also happened once.

Très bon jeu, je recommande.
