New out this month is Entwined: The Perfect Murder. A top new murder mystery whodunnit game for PC. This is the sequel to Strings of Deception by Urchin Games.
In the Perfect Murder PC game, you get to play detective in the classic type of detective game.
Instead of the CSI style games, this one is old school in it’s look, feel and gameplay. You can see this in the YouTube video included below.
My pick of the best detective PC games released August 2014 is Dead Reckoning: Silvermoon Isle. A unique and stylish interactive hidden object mystery for PC and Mac. With the setting, story and location, it is reminiscent of the Agatha Christie game, Evil Under the Sun. For example, the Art Deco hotel on an isolated island. A famous actress dies under mysterious circumstances. And a murder mystery that must be solved by questioning everyone within this ‘locked room’ scenario. All of whom seem to have a connection with the fated legendary star of the silverscreen! However, in Dead Reckoning: Silvermoon Isle, the gameplay is brought right up to date. With it’s use of an interactive deduction feature. This makes the crime solving elements of this game a unique experience to play!
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney has a new instalment out this month (August 2014) on iTunes for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Dual Destinies you’re tasked with helping Phoenix Wright to search crime scenes, collect clues and investigate unusual and unique cases.
Then with this information make a compelling argument that will help you win your clients’ case in the courtroom.
