Clue: Murder By Death

Released: 2/13/2026

Lord Robert Anderson has been found murdered in his secluded country manor. Summoned by his loyal butler, an old comrade of your father from the Great War, you arrive in the dead of night to uncover the truth. Everyone appears distraught, yet behind polite smiles lie secrets, grudges, and carefully hidden motives. You donโ€™t yet know who committed the crime or why but you do know one thing: โฑ You have 180 minutes before Scotland Yard arrives. Clue: Murder by Death is a narrative-driven detective adventure inspired by classic British crime fiction and modern investigative games. Explore an imposing manor, examine evidence, interrogate suspects, and connect clues across multiple branching narrative paths. Every conversation, every alliance, and every accusation shapes the investigation and determines how the story ends. Who can you trust? Who is lying?
