A murder has been committed. The suspects are assembled. The clues are waiting. Can you deduce the truth? Murder Matrix is a pure logic deduction puzzle game set across atmospheric, beautifully styled locations. Using a grid of suspects, weapons, and rooms, you eliminate possibilities clue by clue ā until only the answer remains. HOW TO PLAY Every puzzle deals you a set of handcrafted clues: "the suspect in the Library is not Lord Ashford", "the weapon was found two rooms east of the conservatory", "neither the Colonel nor the Countess used a blunt instrument." Cross-reference each clue against the matrix, strike the impossible, and deduce who committed the crime, with what weapon, and in which room. No guessing. No luck. Pure logic. FEATURES ⢠Handcrafted campaign ā 10 cases across Ashford Estate, each harder than the last ⢠8+ clue types ā positional, directional, adjacency, negation, and more ⢠6 atmospheric locations ā each with its own signature pastel colour palette ⢠Elegant grid interface designed for focus and clarity ⢠Unlimited undo ā explore freely without penalty ⢠Completely offline and private ā no account, no network access, no ads LOCATIONS From the candlelit rooms of Ashford Estate to the glass-domed Garden Conservatory, the candlelit Midnight Lounge, and the spice-scented Apothecary ā every location brings a fresh colour palette and a new cast of suspects to the mystery. PERFECT FOR Fans of logic puzzles, Clue / Cluedo, Sudoku, Nonograms, or anyone who enjoys a satisfying whodunit. Download Murder Matrix and start deducing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Murder Matrix at none against Rastro's 1. Murder Matrix also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
