    Clue: Murder by Death seems perfect for a niche audience, as it offers a mystery that requires player commitment and meaningful deduction skills to solve, with very few tools to make it easier. For a general audience, however, the game is likely to feel slow, awkward to play, and full of distracting load times, which come together to make a game that’s hard to engage with.

    Should Clue: Murder By Death ever add in some quality of life basics, even just labeling the rooms, or allowing you add markers, this could be a wonderful mystery. For now, unfortunately, it's one where it feels fine to leave quite a few stones unturned.

    Clue: Murder by Death oozes charm and nails the whodunnit vibe, with clever companion mechanics and a ticking clock that keeps the tension high. Sadly, the bloated mansion, limited inventory, and forced repetition drag the experience down. The game is brilliant in concept, yet flawed in execution. However, for under twenty bucks, mystery fans might still find it worth the sleuth.
