Murder Matrix

Read full description

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 — 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 — 10 cases across Ashford Estate, each harder than the last • 8+ clue types — positional, directional, adjacency, negation, and more • 6 atmospheric locations — each with its own signature pastel colour palette • Elegant grid interface designed for focus and clarity • Unlimited undo — explore freely without penalty • Completely offline and private — 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 — 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.
