Murder is a stealth-based challenge where precision and timing are essential. You step into the shoes of an ambitious character looking to take the throne—literally. The goal is to eliminate the king without being noticed, then keep your own crown safe from others who want it just as much.

Silence is Key

The gameplay in Murder revolves around subtle movements and carefully timed actions. The core mechanic is a stealth attack, initiated when your character raises a weapon behind the king. Success means you become the next king, but failure results in immediate capture.

  • Hold and release mechanic: You must press and hold to prepare your attack, then release at the perfect moment.
  • Risk vs. reward: Wait too long, and you’ll get caught. Go too early, and the king will strike first.
  • Changing roles: Once you’re king, you must look over your shoulder. Others will try to assassinate you the same way.

Reading the Room

The challenge escalates as more characters get involved. The king constantly looks back, making it risky to strike. Success depends on interpreting subtle animations and expressions.

  • Watch for suspicion: The king’s head turns at random. A false move ends the run.
  • Bluffing dynamics: Characters may fake readiness to throw off your rhythm.
  • Endless loop: As long as you stay alert, the game continues with shifting perspectives.

Mastering the Crown

Murder has no dialogue or complex controls, yet it tells a story through action alone. You’ll quickly learn how patience and observation beat aggression.

Whether you’re plotting the perfect moment or defending the throne, Murder delivers a cycle of tension and satisfaction. The simple interface hides a layered experience that keeps you coming back for one more attempt at ultimate power.
