Necrotective
Step into the bones of a necromancer-detective and solve a murder mystery… by questioning the victim's skeleton!
🔍HOW TO PLAY
1. Interrogate the Skeleton.
Use your dark arts to ask the victim questions. They can’t see (no eyes!), but they remember. Ask about the killer's appearance.
- Scars
- Hair colour
- Race
- Gender
- Eye colour
2. Observe the Suspects
You’ll be shown suspect cards. Compare the clues. Pay attention.
3. Use Your Mouse Wisely
- Left-click a suspect’s portrait to select the ONE killer.
- Right-click to grey out suspects you think are innocent. (This won’t affect the outcome, it just helps you think.)
4. Choose Carefully...
There is ONLY ONE murderer.
You get ONLY ONE chance to name them.
Pick wrong... and justice slips through your bony fingers.
5. Time Is Limited!
The connection with the spirit fades quickly. Ask fast, think smart.
There is ONLY ONE truth.
ONLY ONE victim.
ONLY ONE killer.
And ONLY ONE chance to find them.

Played several rounds of this game and it was a lot of fun. The timer felt a bit too fast to ask more than maybe one and a half questions when factoring the processing for the skeleton to answer. You gotta be very fast in order to get above three answers. The art and music are well paired. The vibes are there and I can see this being a full finished game maybe even with narrative in the future? Great work on this jam game. Please keep creating!
