Murder
Game Overview
Murder is a stealth puzzle game set in a royal court where the person behind the king may be waiting for a chance to take the throne. The first role is an assassin: follow the king, charge an attack from behind, and release it before the king turns. A mistimed attempt exposes you and ends the run in prison.
The core challenge is reading movement and choosing a safe moment. The king can turn without warning, so a long charge gives you more risk to manage. Wait too long and the opportunity passes; act too soon and the king catches you. The sequence stays short, while the timing changes as you learn how the king behaves.
A successful assassination changes the role. You become the king, and another court character approaches from behind with the same plan. Watch the figures around you and stop the next attack before it reaches its target. This role reversal turns the stealth puzzle into a reaction game as well as a defense challenge. Staying on the throne depends on awareness rather than the attack alone.
Choose Murder if you want a stealth game about timing an assassination or a role-reversal palace game with hidden attackers. The game suits short sessions because each failed attempt points to a missed moment, while each new reign asks you to notice danger from the other side.
