Killed Until Dead

Killed Until Dead is a mystery game with a humorous tone, set in a hotel where five renowned mystery writers have gathered. One of them plans to kill another, and the player must solve the case before the murder occurs.

Playing as Hercule Holmes, you search suspects’ rooms, question them about people, rooms, and objects, confront them with evidence, and set security cameras to capture secret meetings. The investigation combines the deduction style of Clue with sequential logic puzzles, requiring you to eliminate possible suspects, locations, and objects.

Accusing the wrong person can put Holmes in danger, making careful deduction essential.
