About Murder
Murder is an arcade game focused on timing, patience, and quick reactions. The main goal is to approach the king quietly and assassinate him to take the throne. After that, you must defend your position from the adviser’s assassination attempts. The game cycles between stealth and defense, mixing puzzle-like timing with reflex challenges.
Gameplay Overview
In Murder, you switch between two roles: the assassin (the king’s adviser) and the king. As the adviser, you sneak behind the king and hold the attack button to charge a stab. Releasing the attack at the right moment kills the king and makes you the new ruler. If the king turns around while you are charging, you get caught and sent to the dungeon.
When you become the king, your role changes. You must watch for the adviser trying to kill you. Press the attack button to quickly look behind and catch the assassin. The controls use one button, focusing on timing and observation.
How to Play Murder
