The clues are always exactly the same (or are they?) no matter who the killer is. Might as well be able to skip to the end and start randomly guessing, since that's what it comes down to. ### 3/5 — OK *2013-08-17, version 1.1.1* I really liked the story and the whole idea of it too, but how am I supposed to use the evidence I find to find my murderer if it randomises every time? Still, it was fun ### 4/5 — Dead already *2013-01-09* The game was weird how he was dead before he new it but it was really a great choice making game ### 5/5 — Best Luck Ever! *2012-02-06* So I got to the final part and I started picking people to investigate. Weeeeellll I didn't notice that investigating drains your power. (oops) so I stabbed in the dark for whom to bring forth my revenge and I thought "Hey, no one likes the boss". So I chose the boss... and was right mwahahahahahha! This app is so awesome. And what's more awesome is that there is a whole list of possibilities for endings. Keep up the good work! And release a new part for Romance, you've got me on my toes. ;) ### 5/5 — Fun *2012-01-20* This game is fun, though I haven't won it yet. I'm sure there's something I'm missing, but I love anything that involves the gorilla suit. ### 5/5 — Makes u wonder if u were drunk *2011-12-22* Need to be completely sober when playing this game. ### 5/5 — Great fun *2011-12-22, version 1.0.0* Reminds me of old adventure books! ## Frequently asked questions about Dead Already ### What is Dead Already about?
