[*Murder*](http://petermoorhead.com/murder/?ref=killscreen.com) is the name of Peter Moorhead’s upcoming cyberpunk adventure game, which is set to launch on October 21st for desktop and mobile devices. While Moorhead’s previous game *Stranded* might’ve looked to Stanley Kubrick’s *2001* for inspiration, *Murder* is rooted in the works of cyberpunk masters, including Katsuhiro Otomo (*Akira*), Neal Stephenson (*Snow Crash*), and Masamune Shirow (*Ghost in the Shell*).

“designed and written to reward attentive and thoughtful play”

Set in Japan of the future, *Murder* puts you in control of a lieutenant in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. The story is said to revolve around “the intersection of morality and sentience in a future where both have become commodities,” while the environment and structure of the game are designed to break down conventions of the classic point-and-click adventure style.

“Where *Stranded* scattered its message throughout the world’s canyons and caves, *Murder* stashes its message behind a firewall of noise and information,” says Moorhead. “It’s designed and written to reward attentive and thoughtful play.”

The end result is yet to be seen, but according to *Murder*’s website, it’s inspired in part by both Fullbright and Blendo Games, the folks who created *Gone Home* and *Thirty Flights of Loving*, respectively. Since *Murder* is supposed to be a thirty minute game, it makes sense it would pull from similarly short experiences that still contain a lot of intrigue.

*Murder* features voice acting, art by Lucas “Midio” Carvalho and Glauber Kotaki, a soundtrack by KubrixXx, and sound design from Surasshu, the composer for *Steven Universe*.
