Set in Salem Massachusetts, players have the freedom to explore the New England-style wooden houses, narrow streets, Gothic churches and historical landmarks for clues. They will need to battle demonic spirits to preserve their souls whilst uncovering the shocking revelations about who is responsible for their death.

About the story

Most people think that death is the end, but for Ronan O’Connor, a Salem police detective with a chequered past, it is just the beginning. When Ronan O’Connor, a detective with a chequered past, gets caught up in a violent burglary, his life is brought to an untimely end by a brutal and relentless killer. Shocked to find himself in the afterlife, his only escape from the limbo world of ‘Dusk’ is to uncover the truth behind his killer, track him down and bring him to justice using his detective instinct and new-found supernatural abilities.

If you're looking for a game that's different, and you like paranormal stories, I recommend giving Murdered: Soul Suspect a try. Overall, I liked the game. The crime is actually very mysterious and unconventional in this story, and with that comes an ending that surprised me quite a bit.

As a game it fails in many level, its very short, very easy and linear and after finishing it, you wont go back to start again.

Probably the most unique, fresh and well put together game you will play all year. I positively loved it. Strong characters, excellent story and great game idea. I've never played as a ghost Detective before who could possess people.

Murdered: Soul Suspect is a ghost of a game. You can see the lingering spirit of something more, but in the end, it's only a pale shadow of what it could have been. The weak character writing and lackluster visuals drag down what is otherwise a fun adventure game. There are some game mechanics that should've been exorcised (pun intended). If you're looking for a relaxing way to spend a rainy afternoon, Murdered fits the bill, but that's about it.

Murdered: Soul Suspect is caught between the uneasy middle ground of a big budget release and what should have been a more economic digital-only, episodic series.
