After developing and releasing 3 Murder Is Game Over titles in 2 years, Ive had some time to pause and reflect on what I like most about each one. These are my thoughts on the series as a whole.
Best exploration Murder Is Game Over
My initial concept for this game was to have a murder mystery that emphasized exploration much more inspired by RPGs than adventure games. In hindsight, the world design from the first game was well done in terms of giving the player freedom to move around the world at their choosing. The map shape is based on a series of interconnecting circles including the castle's ground floor, connecting the second floor and the sealed wing, and finally, a secret passage connecting the castle to the surrounding countryside. The method of murder also relies heavily on the way the map makes a seemingly inaccessible area easy to reach through a clever shortcut. Not only is the exploration mechanic effective for the player, but it also serves as part of the storytelling and narrative.
Which game in the series has my favorite villain? Find out in part 2 coming next!
I'm creating the fourth game in the series. Please wishlist it (link below). Thank you for your support!

Paramnesia is a visual novel with the story given in a non-chronological order. You have to travel through heroine's memory fragments, but be careful: some of them might be false. Whether you manage to distinguish true from false will determine the ending. The novel includes three endings, but only one will reveal the truth.
Travelling through heroine's memories will happen with a program visually resembling a file grid that initially grants access to memories located on its edges. Your task is to move towards the center. Not all the files are actually Maria's memories, but they can provide you the information that will help you unveil the truth.
The game has 6 types of files:
1) Confession - the narration is conducted on behalf of the main character.
2) Etude - the narration is conducted from the 3rd person.
3) Database - information about sects.
4) SMS - letters that Maria receives from the sect.
5) Additional files - open with the right choice in the "Confession".
6) Encrypted files.
