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.

  • 10-15 minutes playthrough
  • Replayability, it is impossible to see all the game content in just one run
  • Online leaderboard


Controls

You can play the game using only your mouse.

  • Left click to interact or going through dialogues.
  • ESC to show settings.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a horror game like this. This is such a good concept and I can't wait for the full game!

This was a lot of fun! I like how things are random, and the game can change each playthrough! 

Very cool concept and design even though I'm terrible at trivia I still had a really fun time seeing what was going to happen next!

I can't wait to see this fleshed out as a full game! the concept and gameplay is definitely there, but all the endings are pretty similar to one another. I am sure this will be addressed in a full release, so until then keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for the feedback and the kind words!

I searched up one question on Google and the first link that popped up was s*icide helpline. I was so shocked, some of these questions were that twisted. Also this game annoyed me a lot, but I also had lots of fun playing it. Great work! <3

Thank you!

I enjoyed this game. So far in my gameplay I got 2 of the 4 endings and I had fun getting both. I think a multiplayer version would be a fun idea :)

I had a lot of fun playing this very odd gameshow. I really liked the theme music and the design of the game - it makes it feel like an actual gameshow. I would love it if you added more levels and mini-games. Great job

Here's my gameplay of it:

Thank you so much!

This game was fun! I somehow skipped the first minigame without realizing it was an option.. I guess you could say I got lucky with that one!

Finally, someone showed my score! Excellent video and I love your reaction to my contribution of silliness!

Gostei muito do jogo. É bem diferente e causa muita pressão! Os textos correm um pouco rápido demais e fica difícil de ler às vezes.
