Murdle, et al.

I’ve been enjoying Murdle, a logic-based murder mystery game with a new variation every day, a la Wordle. It uses these logic grids and a series of clues to work out whounnit, where and what with (and sometimes why). I’m still finding them quite difficult, bute njoyable all the same.

Whilst digging around the creator’s site, I was interested to see their take on Murder Tarot. I had a similar thing as one of my 52 Murders (one of the few ideas in that exercise I actually liked), although the approaches are somewhat different.

I like the semi-authored, semi-programmed approach of these things. I have absolutely no idea how to go about making one, though.

Edit: also, these Bite Sized Horror games are quite nice. Brief little Twine-y experiments that are done quickly and well.
