Murder Diaries

"Murder Diaries" is a short narrative game that, unfortunately, fails at almost everything it tries to do. As someone who loves narrative games (and plays a lot of them), I would regard this one mostly as a waste of time and money. The story is so short and pointless that it's impossible to talk about it without "spoiling" anything, but it's also so predictable that I don't think knowing the plot changes anything for potential players. There is no revelation, no twist, and no attempt to make the story even remotely interesting. So here's the synopsis: It's about a young man who grows up under difficult circumstances, sees his father and brother getting killed by rival gangs, and then meticulously plans his revenge and eventually murders the killer. That is literally the entire story, there's nothing more to it. This story is narrated to you by the protagonist itself in 200 voiced lines that are drip-fed to you, with pauses after each line, over the course of 2 hours. Most of these lines are incredibly mundane and boring. The protagonist tells us in excruciating detail which food the victim ate every friday, what kind of clothes he wore on the day of the reckoning, what kind of fi…

i completed all 3 of the games on Xbox i enjoyed them that much that i'm now starting them on PC :) you are basically in control of a butterfly (i think it is lol) and u have to fly it into the rings which tell the story. the rings are easy to find & see if you like murder/crime then you will be surprised with this little gem :) also the music is my favourite part of the game :)

I played 4 or 5 sections and sadly cant see something nice in it. Apart from not working achievements. It just feels very boring and tedious. I sadly cant recommend it, especially not for this price.

This is the worst Game i played in a long time. Flying with some glowing ball through other glowing things and learn more about the "story" the more you progress. Said story is just the most basic and boring story you can imagine and the speed your flying with is just painfully slow. I would not pay this much for this game. Even as a free game it would be painful to play.

I wouldn't even call this a detective game. All players do is guide a little ball around to trigger narration. It's more obnoxious than a walking simulator because the ball you're guiding around is hard to control. There's not work or thinking you have to put into this.

You maneuver a perpetually moving ball of light through glowing rings in space. One line of narration is read per ring collected. If you miss the ring on the first pass you have to maneuver to get turned back around to retrieve it (using keyboard controls this wasn't always a very quick or easy route). Also not always intuitive WHERE the next ring in the story is located so you float aimlessly around, going through walls of buildings and getting thrown back occasionally when you hit the boundary of the game. Not for me. Didn't finish. Don't recommend.
