Square Enix Asks You To Solve Your Own Murder


O'Connor, the hero of Murdered: Soul Suspect, never lost a fight ... until now.

Take a good look: that's the hero of the story, about to find out whether the pavement is harder than his head. That, and maybe a few other things, gives you a really good reason to want the other fella dead, and Square Enix is hoping that the lure of solving your own murder will entice you into its latest project: Murdered: Soul Suspect.

You play as Detective O'Connor, formerly of Salem, Massachusetts, now residing in the nearest morgue. "I lived through it all," says he, courtesy of may indicate your first port of call [http://www.facebook.com/Murdered/notes]; unless it's a coincidence that you happened to take your final dive right in front of what looks suspiciously like a psychic's shopfront.

There's not much to go on at the moment, and you've a while to wait before you get your hands on this one. Early 2014, for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, is the best Square Enix is prepared to do at this point.

Looks Neat. I might get this on the Xbox (Or if it does come for the WiiU, then the WiiU).

 

[ninjaRiv]

I get the same feeling from this as I did when I saw the first teaser for Dishonored. I'm excited.

 

[Jaebird]

Wait, was that Ron Perlman?

 

[Scentedwiind]

Well color me interested.

It looks like I've been...

There was a ps2 game where you had to basically do a Groundhogs day (even though it was May Eve) thing and repeatedly solve your own murder because apparently you were pretty well doomed 6 times over that day.

Another game, Tugunai: Atonement had your soul body-jacking people and helping them to break a curse.

This game however doesn't interest me, and the fact that SE is making it actually turns that disinterest into actively avoiding any and all future news about it.

Thats what happens when you tank your company for a decade or so, your fans eventually get wise to the fact that your best work was in the 1990s.

I dunno, this sounds cool. Is Sqeenix still capable of making good games?

Is this a new IP, or a reboot/rehash of something I've never heard of? Because I like new IP's. Reboots are fine, too, though. Sometimes.

Anyway, YEAH NEW IP!

 

[Owlslayer]

Looks pretty interesting, and a like the idea! Haven't played quite anything with a story like that before.

 

[Bat Vader]

That's cool it is coming to the PC. It sounds like a pretty interesting game. I can't wait to play it.

 

[TJC]

Solve your murder huh? Where have I heard that before...

Oh yeah!

Sorry Square, concept has been done!

OT: Looks cool, but I am still getting a huge Ghost Trick vibe...for obvious reasons.

yep
it's Ghost Trick with a fatter budget and less charme

Do you mean Shadow of Memories?

HAH! i was thinking about that as i read the article and watched the video. Yeah, Well...Shadow of Memories is a nice Adventure game, but it some really big issues on the gameplay side, so maybe SE could improve on that while giving us a story thats as good or better than SOM

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

Want to solve ANY murder, much less your own? Have your soul follow Jessica Fletcher. End frickin' story.

Deus Ex: HR
Just Cause 2
Sleeping Dogs

just 3 games off the top of my head published by SE in the last few years that have been great.

OT: sounds interesting, I'll definently be keeping an eye on this.

I like it when Square-Enix try new IP's. I'll give it a chance, looks interesting enough.
