About the Game

Solve Pixel Puzzles to find clues.
Use those clues to interrogate witnesses.
Work your way to the truth...
...and uncover the mystery of Murder by Numbers!



Los Angeles, 1996. Honor Mizrahi was just an actress on a hit TV detective show. But when her boss ends up dead just minutes after he fires her, she finds herself starring in her own murder mystery. Teaming up with SCOUT, a reconnaissance robot thrown away after a mysterious incident, she sets out to clear her name - and a new detective duo is born!

Investigate a range of murders across TV studios, glitzy award shows, drag clubs, and more - all set to an energetic soundtrack from famed composer Masakazu Sugimori (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Ghost Trick and Viewtiful Joe).

Uncover a dark conspiracy by interrogating a wild range of weird and wonderful characters, designed by the incomparable Hato Moa, creator of Hatoful Boyfriend.

90s fashions! Upbeat jams! Sass dialled up to 100! Questionable jokes! Drag queens! All that and more awaits... in Murder by Numbers!

Great fun! The story is epically 1990s, and charming. The nonos are pretty technical and hard though, but their hint system was very helpful. There's a tricky timed nono section during hacking that some may not enjoy.

PROS: The nongrams are just really fun and you can get hooked playing for hours just doing the memory puzzles the cast is generally well liked and fleshed out. Not Ace Attorney good but up there. Solid mysteries.

Murder by Numbers TL;DR - 6/10 I wouldn't recommend the game. However, if your goal IS to solve nonograms, this is worth grabbing at a good sale. Artstyle and UX - 6.5/10 The art style in the game is lovely. However, it
