Murdered: Soul Suspect

Unable to interact with the living directly, the player uses ghost abilities such as walking through walls, possessing bystanders to overhear their thoughts, and reading the memories left behind at crime scenes to piece together clues. Evidence gathered while exploring the town is arranged on a board to test theories about who killed the detective and why.

The town itself is built from real locations and local history, and beyond investigation the player occasionally faces malevolent spirits, using stealth-based takedowns rather than direct combat to deal with them, since the detective's ghostly form has no offensive weapons of its own.

• Ghost Abilities The player passes through walls, possesses people, and reads memories left at crime scenes.
• Detective Board Clues gathered during investigation are pinned to a board to test murder theories.
• Stealth Encounters Hostile spirits are avoided or dealt with through stealth rather than direct combat.
• Historical Setting The town is recreated from real locations and local folklore.
