Murderabilia by Baconeta

[raw]
made by Baconeta for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

Set in the 1930s, you and a group of guests have been invited to a grand estate under mysterious circumstances. Each player receives a secret list of objects they must collect before time runs out. The catch? The objects you need are already held by other guests. To complete your list, you’ll have to inspect, scare, and kill...

Play your cards wisely: - Inspect to see what others are holding. - Scare to make them reveal or drop items. - Collect to take what you need. - Kill to remove anyone in your way.

But be careful if any guest sees you commit a murder, you’ll be caught and eliminated. The clock is always ticking, and every move counts. Play solo or with friends. Outsmart, outlast, and collect everything on your list before time runs out… or before someone else gets to you first.

Known: - Multiplayer is glitchy as - that's just the way of the world :) - Other NPCs see you murdering... but then they just get over it a little too easily - Items don't cross off the player lists correctly every time. Oops. - Z-fighting issues across a range of objects but most notably the "blood" on the floor - Leaderboards and scoring are somewhat working but were disabled as too WIP

The room connect takes a 5-10 seconds to load the game, so please just give it a second to load

I love the creepy and cool vibe this game creates, especially the background music and cover. The concept is 100 percent on the theme. There only are 2 player while I was playing, so I didn't really enjoy this game. However, I believe it will be more fun with more player.Very interesting and high quality overall.

The aesthetics are cool — it instantly reminded me of Cluedo! But I didn’t really understand how to play :) I just walked around killing everyone and taking their stuff =D

Drawn in by the style of the cover and found the theme and gameplay to be very interesting! The way characters move is also very creative, but I haven't quite figured out how the time-limited mechanic is implemented yet.

Could connect to the game as multiple people but we didnt get caught at all.
The idea is really nice though, props on making it multiplayer and the view goes very well with the theme of the game

The art style really attracts me, and the game story is appealing... it's a pity that no player while I'm trying to start, so failed to play it :(

@peggy404 thankyou for you comment liking our art. The game is playable 1 player so please have a go even if no one else is online

The music is perfect and more perfect is the atmosphere!

Nice atmosphere with music to match. I just murdered all the NPCs and took their stuff without anyone protesting.

a multiplayer game for a jam is very ambitious, i commend you! with a few post jam fixups i'm sure this will turn out into a very interesting experience, keep it up
