The Daily Murder is a daily puzzle game where you solve a whodunnit murder mystery, generated daily.  Talk with suspects, witnesses, and your own crime scene investigation team to uncover items, secrets, and discrepancies in order to solve the crime.

No download necessary. Playable from your web browser on mobile, desktop, or tablet. And completely free!

I'd love to get feedback on the basic game mechanics and UI, because that'll inform the backend game generator. See the discussion forums on the basic roadmap of features I'll be adding over the next few months, and chime in if you'd like! Post any feedback or questions as a new topic in the discussion board, or respond to any existing threads.

Please note: the version on itch.io does not have a new, different game daily because that is something that needs to be generated on the server side, and itch.io only supports client side single-page apps. That's something I'm working on fixing. For now, there's one sample game that's fully playable. Please stay tuned for more updates.

Note: I'm hearing that its not working too well on Safari on iOS. I'm working to fix that, but in the meantime, try using Chrome or your desktop!
