The Game
Who Wants to Be a Murderer? is a psychological horror game set in a TV game show straight out of the 90s. You'll face a series of challenges that will put your morality and sanity to the test.
I'm considering to work on a full-fledged version on Steam. To stay updated on the project and more, join the Discord.

Such a clever idea for an horror game show! Really enjoyed the concept, surprisingly eerie yet upbeat at the same time.
Would love to see a full-fledged version in the future, there is a lot of potential to expand on this. Well done, had a great time with it :)I like the game but it terrifies me.
