MurderByTheBook - MiniJam187
A famous novelist was found dead in his home.
The police suspect of a break-in gone wrong.
You didn't wanted to get involved but there is something fishy.
Two deadly wounds and nothing stolen.
What really happen that night?
Murder by the book is a point-and-click murder mystery against the clock.
You have limited time to convince the police that there is something more about this murder.
Find clues, gather information, and combine objects to discover the mysteries. Do everything in your power to reveal the truth.
But think carefully about your actions, everything you do will cost you precious time.
Will you be able to discover the secrets? Or will the culprit get away with murder?
Murder by the book was developed for the MiniJam 187 - Duality with the limitation "Everything at a cost".
You can download a GDDish document that I made during the jam. Is not a proper GDD tho.
