If you love murder mysteries, detective games or indie games this one is a winner! The characters are interesting and fleshed out. Inventive use of video. It was very engaging, found myself having trouble putting it dow. The creators developed this fictional town and populated it with unique storylines. Great acting. Really like that it has three random killers so you can play it several times. Bravo! Looking forward to other Wales Interactive games!

  • Voice driven murder mystery, Interview AI suspects with your voiceAug 2026 · whodunnitai.com · ▲215

    Hey HN! I'm excited to show off this really fun project I put together. I originally built this project 2-3 years ago, AI was already booming at the time, however voice AI agents were still very early.

    A murder mystery game built on an open-source gen-AI agent framework2023 · gron.games · ▲43

    Hey HN, Michael and Scott here. We’re open-sourcing an interactive murder mystery featuring LLM-driven character agents. Solve the mystery by finding clues, taking notes, and interrogating agents. They all have distinct motives, personality, and can impact the game in different ways (attacking you, running away, etc). Try it out, it’s pretty fun! We’re also open-sourcing the framework that we used to make and refine the agents. The goal is to create an intuitive interface for storytellers to create, debug, and test game agents. We then take those game agents and expose an API beyond just…
