Murder by Numbers

Release Date: March 6, 2020
Genres: Puzzle, Adventure, Visual Novel, Indie
Get ready to solve crimes with a twist in Murder by Numbers, a delightful fusion of brain-teasing nonogram puzzles and a charming detective story set in the dazzling world of 1990s Los Angeles. Combining the addictive grid-based logic of Picross with the quirky narrative depth of a visual novel, this game delivers a fresh take on the mystery genre that’s perfect for fans of deduction and retro vibes.
You play as Honor Mizrahi, a rising star on a popular detective TV show whose life spirals into chaos after a shocking turn of events. When her boss is murdered shortly after firing her, Honor finds herself at the center of suspicion. Enter SCOUT, a lovable robot companion with a knack for investigation and a mysterious past of his own. Together, they’ll tackle a string of intriguing cases, navigating a world of glitzy TV sets, eccentric drag queens, and high-stakes award ceremonies—all while racing to uncover the truth.
At the heart of Murder by Numbers is its clever gameplay loop: solve nonogram puzzles to reveal hidden clues at crime scenes. These grid-based challenges require sharp logic and careful deduction—mark the right squares to unveil pixelated evidence that drives the investigation forward. Once the clues are in hand, dive into engaging visual novel segments where you’ll question a roster of unforgettable characters, each bursting with personality thanks to designs by Hato Moa (Hatoful Boyfriend). Whether it’s a sharp-tongued producer or a glamorous diva, every suspect adds flavor to this 90s-inspired whodunit.
The game unfolds across a series of interconnected cases, blending humor, heart, and a touch of campy drama. As Honor and SCOUT dig deeper, they’ll uncover a web of secrets that ties their fates together, all set to a toe-tapping soundtrack by Masakazu Sugimori (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney). The music perfectly captures the era’s upbeat energy, pulling you into a world of neon lights and bold fashion.
With its accessible yet satisfying puzzles, Murder by Numbers welcomes both newcomers and puzzle pros, offering hints to keep the momentum going without sacrificing challenge. The story shines with witty writing, heartfelt character moments, and a playful nod to 90s pop culture—think big hair, bigger personalities, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the final reveal.
