About This Game

ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE?

Murderous Muses is an old-school FMV adventure that rewards patience, exploration and puzzle solving. It’s not an interactive movie game but it does have over 3 hours of FMV!

WHO KILLED MORDECHAI GREY?

Play as the gallery’s night watch and explore its secrets over three days, watching paintings spring to life fuelled by ‘Eyes of Mordechai’ - a scarce resource that makes you ask questions wisely.

A year has passed since the unsolved murder of Mordechai Grey and in tribute, Gallery Argenta is about to exhibit six of the artist’s most famous portraits and prime suspects - the ‘Murderous Muses’. Question suspects, unlock police interviews, and finally deduce who’s the murderous muse!

  • Solve a murder mystery that re-rolls every time you play


  • Explore a procedurally-generated gallery and share seeds with friends


  • Puzzles unlock bonus treasure rooms


  • A persistent ‘trophy room’ to store collectibles


  • A rich new story setting, Mirlhaven island


  • Final score cards and run times for bragging rights
