“Certainly not the best game but I have to say that if you go in without high expectations it might surprise you. I personally liked the story and games simplicity, it reminded me of 2000s when games where games”
“Definitely a fun little game. The concept is intriguing and the story unfolds in a well-paced and interesting way. It's not the greatest game, and your abilities as a ghost are limited, but the game took me only eight…”
“one of the most underrated game, i have played so far. story was so gripping having twist & turns, since it was a slow burning game. but you might be feel that was so many collectibles in game. overall experience that…”

“Straightforward and limited by the technology of it's time... yet I found myself invested in this supernatural detective from beginning to the end. Worth a buy on sale.”
“Murdered: Soul Suspect is a solid supernatural detective game. It offers a story-driven experience with an interesting concept and setting. What I didn't like much: 1) Lack of a proper map, which makes it easy to get…”
“I remember being kind of interested in this game when it came out, I didn’t buy it immediately and waited. One day I saw the game for like $2 at Game stop and I was like what the heck is it that bad? I also heard it…”

“Short game that has an interesting premise and gameplay. Pretty much a forgotten AA game but never gone. Enemies suck but easy. Boss fight was pretty much non-existent, and replaced with a timer. Collectibles getting…”
“I'm a sucker for strong, narrative driven games. This game has a great story, with great characters, and solid voice acting. The gameplay isn't earth shattering. 90% of the time it consists of collecting collectables,…”

“Imagine you get murdered in the first 5 minutes and your reaction is: “Damn… anyway, back to work.” (without pay) Great spooky environment but slow gameplay Good graphics and performance for an old game”

“Cool supernatural take on a noir detective story. Has a few twists and turns but it's more about the journey than the puzzles. I played it years ago when it released - still looks good on a decent pc and was enjoyable…”

“I loved this game. Here's my pros and cons: Pros: The game itself was pretty easy but not boring by any means. I guess easy isn't the best word, maybe its just not that complicated. The game play was fun. Having prior…”

“Game was working fine for me 7 hours in but now, I am stuck in the museum and the floor has disappeared. I tried everything to fix it and nothing.”
“I like the story and puzzles, its a shame that the studio behind it was shutdown shortly after the game was released. There are a few glitches especially in the church. Overall if there is a steam sale where its under 5…”

“[h1]The Most Compelling Cold Case You’ll Ever Solve (From the Grave)[/h1] [b]There’s a specific kind of nostalgia that comes with rediscovering a game you played years ago on a friend's rig, only to have it resurface later in life like a ghost from the past. Murdered: Soul…”

The game itself is small in scale and will not go out of its way to be anymore than it presents. The gameplay does not change much from start to finish, you will face the same enemies…”

The Salem setting and atmosphere are great and the story is the main focus. Gameplay is simple and sometimes repetitive with light stealth and guided clues. It feels more like an…”
