Murder by Numbers - 2 Minute Critiques!
1Murder by Numbers effortlessly blends the art of nonogram puzzles with an intriguing murder mystery visual novel. This charming adventure invites you to step into the shoes of Honor, a former actress turned detective, and her amnesiac robot sidekick, SCOUT. Together, you'll embark on a journey through a world of conspiracies, secrets, and eccentric characters. As you navigate through TV studios, glamorous award shows and even vibrant drag clubs, the game's vibrant pixel art and animations breathe life into this delightful world.
The heart of the experience lies in the nonogram puzzles, as made popular in the picross game series. These puzzles provide both a satisfying challenge and the vital clues you need to crack the case. The gameplay is intuitive, making it accessible to newcomers while retaining some depth for puzzle enthusiasts. Where Murder by Numbers truly shines is in its clever and witty writing. The narrative effortlessly balances humor and drama, keeping you engaged as you interrogate suspects and uncover motives.
However, there are stretches of linear storytelling between puzzles, which might not resonate with players seeking a more gameplay-focused experience. The actual detective work itself may also feel overly simple and linear. Murder by Numbers leans heavily into a singular type of puzzle. While solving these puzzles is often satisfying, it can also become repetitive.
In conclusion, Murder by Numbers offers a delightful 20-hour adventure that balances brain-teasing puzzles with a captivating mystery populated with diverse and interesting characters. While other picross options exist, this game stands out thanks to its charming characters, witty writing, and vibrant presentation.
