Murder is a tense, stealth-based assassination game where cunning and precision determine victory. Your objective? Eliminate the king in secrecy and claim the throne as your own. Success hinges on perfect timing, calculated deception, and sharp situational awareness. But the real test begins once you seize power—now, you must outwit rivals using the same deadly tactics against you.

Stealth Mechanics

Starting as an unassuming servant trailing the king, you must bide your time before making your lethal move. Drawing your weapon too soon risks exposure, while hesitation could mean a missed opportunity. The king’s unpredictable movements keep you on edge—one wrong step, and you’ll face imprisonment. Mastery demands patience and razor-sharp reflexes.

  • Hold to unsheathe: A slow, deliberate action—abort if the king turns to avoid detection.
  • Randomized movements: No two playthroughs are alike; the king’s behavior keeps assassins guessing.
  • Punishment for failure: Each failed attempt increases your sentence, raising the stakes.

Role Reversal and Defense

Claiming the throne reverses the dynamic—now, you are the target. As king, your survival depends on spotting assassins before they strike. A well-timed turn can expose a traitor, but hesitation gives them the opening they need. Rule with a watchful eye, or your reign will be brutally cut short.

  • Rotate often: Establish a pattern, then break it to catch assassins off-guard.
  • Different enemies: Each challenger has unique attack patterns, forcing adaptive strategies.
  • Lose focus, lose power: Complacency is fatal—stay alert or perish.

Winning and Lasting on the Throne

Longevity as king requires a delicate balance—too much suspicion leaves openings, while too little invites betrayal. Every decision impacts your rule, with multiple endings reflecting your leadership. Will you reign as a paranoid tyrant or a cunning survivor?

Murder subverts expectations by casting players as both hunter and prey. A minimalist yet intense battle of wits, it challenges you to seize power and defend it against relentless threats. Can you outmaneuver fate and secure your legacy?
