About Murder Diaries 3 - Santa's Trail of Blood

Experience the Murder Diaries

In this game you abstractly follow the narration of a young man who slowly but surely becomes insane.
This leads you straight into the middle of an exciting murder case and a murder mystery unfolds while you listen to the testimonies of witness, friends and relatives.
The whole game is somewhat Christmas flavored - however, don't get yourself comfortable, the game not going to give you a nice and warm feeling but rather confront you with a cold and harsh reality as the thrilling storytelling of the game will leave you with a cold shiver down your spine.

The game is a must have for any true fan of thrillers and anyone how enjoys a murder mystery that goes beyond the normal story telling.

How does the gameplay work?

You will play as a free-floating ghost like creature.
Basically, as the soul of someone who is experiencing the story.
You are very small in comparison to the surroundings and can fly freely through the area.
You start by exploring the area and enjoying the feeling of flying as well as the gentle yet mysterious background music.

Soon after starting to explore, you will find the first memory piece.
You can collect the memory pieces to continue with the story and to advance with the overall narration.
The story talks about a young boy, about his live and about how everything changes. It is setup as a thrilling murder mystery and acts as a contrast to the somewhat calm and enjoyable gameplay.

The first levels are quite straight forward but the further you advance the more surreal and abstracted the levels become.
Once you have finished a chapter by collecting all memory pieces and finishing the overall story of a level you will continue into the next chapter.

Overview: Overall I enjoyed it, but it could be frustrating at times and some of the frustrations really took me out of the story, so not sure if I would recommend it or not. Pros: - Interesting story - Interesting concept for a game Cons: - Last Chapter was glitched so I could not finish the game which was very frustrating - The little spirit thing moves way too slow in my opinion and there should be a way to speed it up - Sometimes the story orbs that you need to follow are difficult to find (the order they are placed in doesn't quite make sense) and because you move so slowly, if you go the wrong way it really takes you out of the story - Story was good, but kind of easy to figure out. No plot twists.

"A game with an unusual atmosphere." Why unusual? It's a detective, horror genre. We'll follow the trail of the investigation into the creepy situations that have occurred. As we go through the game, shivers run through our skin. The gameplay and music along with the locations keep you in suspense. But in addition the developers are trying to put us in a festive mood. What? lol. This is a weird game. But it is also beautiful in its strangeness.

I started playing this game today. It is just what you need for the New Year. Events, the plot also takes place at Christmas. I had nothing to pass this new year, so I decided to buy this game. By the way, the price of the game is very pleasant. I just started playing, the first levels are very simple, they allow you to understand the game, the essence, the goal, to adapt to the game - it's very good. Because level-by-level it becomes more and more difficult and confusing, hardcore. Shortly, the game is a thriller plus a detective. Naturally, these are horrors. Every fan of movies, books, horror games should have this game in the library,it is a must have. Music... it's what I want to point out. It is very suitable for this game, pleasant and mysterious in her own way. More immersion in those events. The essence of the game is a murder investigation. You'r looking for fragments of history, memories and so pass the levels. The gameplay is really nice, smooth. Rlly allows you to relax, enjoy sitting in a warm armchair in winter and playing. The idea is very interesting, respect to the developers, the realisation is also good. Coz their idea is unique. Management,…
