Description

Murder Is Game Over: The Blackinton Curse is also included in the Murder Is Game Over: Cleo's Complete Casefile


Following the death of a family matriarch, the surviving heirs return from abroad to their childhood home in The Berkshires. But in addition to the family’s Victorian mansion, sprawling acreage, and millions of dollars, they’ve also inherited something much more sinister. A spooky masked figure appears and warns the siblings that they will be the next victims of a grizzly family curse dating back to the Gilded Age. After another fatality on the property, the prophecy is seemingly proven true. Can you help Cleo and Detective Guy crack the mystery of multiple murders and a 150-year-old legend?

The game follows the formula established by the previous games of the series. However, this time the developer made a couple decisions that IMO detract from the otherwise enjoyable experience. For one thing, they fell into the open world trap. Increasing the map area doesn't make your game better unless you fill that area with meaningful things to do. Otherwise it just makes the game more tedious. Same goes for the lamentable industry trend to make interactions "press and hold key" where a simple keypress would suffice. Because "player engagement." Or something. And the ghost chases from the second game appear again. Only this time they're even more obnoxious, since the ghost can pop up right next to you. If the developer wanted to improve or expand the game, adding a mechanic for combining clues (e.g. like in the "Sherlock Holmes" games) would have been far more desirable.

Solid 2.5 stars - Pick up on sale

It is not terrible. It is not great, either. The pacing is uneven (the story is spread too thin), the maps too large, and the murderer fairly simple to guess. If it was possible, I would rate Murder Is Game Over: The Blackinton Curse as 2.5 stars. As that is not actually possible, I bumped up to 3 stars because it is not truly terrible.
