About This Game

Step into the glittering decadence of the Roaring Twenties, where every smile hides a secret and every champagne toast could be your last. Murder Mystery Mayhem AI is an immersive, AI-enhanced detective adventure that puts you in the shoes of a seasoned sleuth tasked with unraveling deadly mysteries.

Overview

In this unique blend of classic whodunit and cutting-edge AI technology, you'll interrogate suspects, explore richly detailed environments, and piece together clues to catch the killer before they strike again. Thanks to procedurally generated cases, each investigation is a unique puzzle!

Important: A constant internet connection is required to play due to the integration of third-party AI services.

Key Features

  • AI-Powered Suspects: Engage in realistic, text or voice (experimental, weekly limits apply) conversations with dynamic AI characters, each harboring distinctive personalities, motives, and hidden truths. Every word matters!

  • Procedural Mysteries: Every case is unique, with randomized suspects, alibis, motives, and murder weapons. No two investigations are ever the same!

  • Choose Your Detective Persona: Play as a hardboiled detective, a charming investigator, or anything in between. Your conversational style shapes suspects' moods, displayed through detailed character expressions. Watch carefully - how they feel directly impacts what secrets they're willing to reveal.

  • Decode Secret Messages: Unravel cryptic clues hidden throughout the estate using your trusty Caesar Cipher Decoder Wheel. Crack these coded messages to gain crucial evidence against the murderer.

  • Retro Pixel Art Charm: Immerse yourself in lovingly crafted, nostalgic 2D environments that bring the Jazz Age vividly to life with pixel-perfect detail.

  • Character Voices: Experience uniquely emotive voices for each guest. (experimental, weekly limits apply)

  • Talk Freely: Using a microphone or headset, you can converse directly with characters via voice-to-text transcription.

  • Deductive Gameplay: Scrutinize testimonies, cross-reference alibis, and piece together evidence in your detective’s journal. Your analytical prowess is your greatest weapon.

  • Make the Arrest: Think you've cracked the case? Accuse the culprit - but ensure your evidence is ironclad, or risk letting the real murderer slip away.

Gameplay Experience

Lose yourself in a captivating world where jazz music mingles with whispered secrets. Each meticulously designed level unfolds new dramas, as you interrogate a colorful array of socialites, servants, and suspects. Decode encrypted messages, watch suspects closely for emotional cues, and use your deductive skills to untangle lies from truth.

But beware - the killer remains hidden, and the clock is ticking. Can you unravel the secrets of the glittering 1920s and catch the murderer in time?

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

When players interact with characters in the game, their conversations are processed through an AI system that generates responses in real-time.

Murder Mystery Mayhem contains themes and content suitable for mature audiences.
