The Perfect Murder

The Perfect Murder is a 2D point and click detective mystery adventure made in AGS, influenced by Agatha Christie and 1920s film noir. It attempts to be slightly cheesy and cliché, but in an ironically self-aware, tongue-in-cheek manner. A demo of the game is already out, and development of the rest of the game will continue as and when inspiration strikes. :) 

Story

You play Pete Marshall, a private investigator who’s seen better days. A former alcoholic who hit the bottle when his wife left him, he lives a lonely, solitary existence, having quarrelled with Lucas, his best (and only) friend years ago. 

One day, Lucas phones out of the blue. He says he’s in prison, framed for a murder he did not commit. You must work your way through a tangled web of deceit, intrigue, betrayal, and more plot twists than you can shake a stick at. In your attempt to prove your friend’s innocence, you may even rise above your past and redeem yourself…

Demo

The Perfect Murder demo runs in 640*480 resolution in high colour. It consists of 5 rooms, one of which is not necessary to complete the demo. Finishing the demo can be done very quickly, but to get the most out of it, features such as a working mobile phone and unique messages when looking/using/talking to almost all objects should be explored. The demo can be downloaded here.
