Defunct Games reviews Murder is Game Over: Deal Killer, available now on PC.
If you like murder mysteries that look like they could be played on the Super Nintendo, then Murder is Game Over: Deal Killer may be for you. Just don’t go in expecting a ton of twists and turns and a complicated story, because the case here is surprisingly simple and straight-forward. It’s not without a few fun diversions and comical side-quests, but it’s ultimately the kind of case that Sherlock Holmes or Benoit Blanc would be able to solve in the first few minutes. Murder is Game Over: Deal Killer offers a cool cast of characters and a lot of 16-bit charm, but there’s something about the simplistic story that left me a little cold (and not just because it takes place in a snowed-in ski lodge).
