Download link is at the top right of the page.
Does anyone know good Murder Mystery Point and Click Games that depict heavy use of high-tech forensics? Skip the CSI ones—I already played them.
Thanks.
Still Life 2, Sinking Island

It’s a little bit different, but Return of the Obra Dinn (https://store.steampowered.com/app/653530/Return_of_the_Obra_Dinn/) is an excellent game, one of the most unique mysteries I’ve ever enjoyed.
Employee A, my solo-developed game about murder in the high tech industry, has a demo available now on PC and Mac.

Yeah, these have some forensics, though I don’t personally like Still Life 2.
I would add:
Art of Murder: Cards of Destiny
Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None

I would say that Gray matter? also can be called a murder mystery. I love that game!
And the same applies to Moebius: Empire rising.
And then there is Murdery Mystery Machine, did anyone mention that?
Of course, many Nancy Drew games are murder mysteries.

Thanks Sylv, is ‘Murder Mystery Machine’ good? I have heard mixed reviews.

I like the game. They have pusblished an update, which makes it better.
The frustrating part (and therefore the mixed reviews) is that you have to make connections between facts (a bit like in many Sherlock Holmes games), but never know whether you have got the right connection, until you close the case.
They changed that now: you see when a connection is right, and you also see how many connections you still should find.
Only the connections you create to underpin a conclusion (who is the murderer, what was the murder weapon, and so on) remain ‘blind’.
I am replaying it now, and I have to replay scenes in every part to reach the A+ (being able to replay scenes after you finished a part is also part of the update). But now it is at least possible :-)

Hey Abhi,
Two recommendations for you, although they may not be helpful.
If you haven’t sought them out, the two Nintendo DS CSI games have totally unique cases then Telltale’s work. The second, Unsolved, is particularly great.
Second, I’d also recommend Telltale’s Law and Order game. The first half of each case is basically a low-tech CSI experience, but Telltale’s growing style really shines here.
Thanks Narcissus, big fan of CSI and Law and Order games.
I have played all the CSI games up to and including “Fatal Conspiracy”.
Did Telltale release a Law & Order game on PC?
Thanks again.
tinpanalley, I’m so glad you asked! We are a studio based in the UK and we are just developing a murder mystery game inspired by great English writers like Agatha Christie. It’s a murder mystery game that also supports online co-op.
We released a demo of Whispers in the West last week, in preparation for the Steam Next Fest.
So you can download the demo for free on Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1868070
(Currently, the game does not have in-game chat, so if you plan to play with friends, make sure you have a voice chat or online conference tool on the side, e.g. Discord/Zoom)
For those who have not heard of us already: Whispers in the West is an online co-op point-and-click murder mystery game, where 1-4 players can play. Almost everyone who played this game says it’s a truly unique experience featuring innovative gameplay - Imagine Among Us, but with stories, or Ace Attorney but with online co-op. The game is set in the far reaches of the Wild West. Each story is a unique and intriguing mystery needing to be solved. To succeed, the players need to work as a team, discuss what information is found and put the pieces together to decipher the truth.
We truly hope you and your friends will enjoy this game (as many did). Look forward to your feedback.

Telltale did. But they lost the license rather quickly and became hard to find. I found out a few days ago I own a hard copy sealed. Would it be worth something some day?

Depending on the nature of our post-apocalyptic societies, attitudes towards and re-evaluation of outdated tech and your ability to keep your stash away from the claws of giant mutant magpie scavenger gangs..
..probably a mint condition dowswer and a couple of goats.
I’ve got 4 Law & Order games for PC which were freely available at the time so I’m pretty sure that they would be easy to find….what system you can play them on is another matter!
The current Steam indie promotion thingie got me to discover Hill Detective: PURITY & decay. Don’t know if it’s mentioned here somewhere before; but according to the description it’s a murder mystery (though in the demo you investigate a lost toy).
You’re playing a private investigator in a cyberpunk-ish scifi Native American-inspired future; very unique and interesting setting. It also seems like the game wants you to genuinely investigate, it’s not one of those mysteries where you just play through and the game automatically tells you that you’re now right about everything, got all the evidence, whatever etc.
Unfortunately controls/UI are pretty awful. I sorta got used to it after a bit but indubitably it’ll keep the game from being too successful (well, that and nobody knowing about its existence ^^).
