On it's surface this game looks a lot like the investigation sections of Ace Attorney mixed with Picross/Nonograms. And as far as the gameplay goes that is pretty much the case.

Where this game really shone for me is the story and the characters. Everyone felt well written and meshed well together and the story, whilst short, felt perfectly paced for the story they were trying to tell.

One thing this game also does is that it leaves things open for a sequel without making the story feel incomplete. Normally this would be great, but that is where capitalism rears it's ugly head.

You see this game was made by Mediatonic, the developers of the popular F2P game Fall Guys. Who eneded up getting purchased by Epic Games.

Now if you had asked me a few months ago I would have thought that a Murder by Numbers sequel wasn't gonna be likely any time soon but was still possible, but now I'm not too sure.

Recently Epic have practically gutted Mediatonic in the name of cost cutting. So anyone there is likely too busy with Fall Guys to work on a sequel, and even then that depends on the people behind this still being with the company.

Maybe we will be lucky and the people who brought Murder by Numbers into the world can go independent and that they can somehow get access to the IP. But I'm not gonna hold my breath.
