Murder
Sneak up behind the king, charge your attack, and claim the throne in Murder. Then watch your adviser and defend your crown with precise timing.
Murder is a one-button timing and stealth game about seizing and defending a royal throne. As the king’s adviser, creep up behind him, charge your dagger, and strike before he turns around.
How to Play Murder
Hold Space to charge your stab as you trail the king down the corridor. Release Space at full power to assassinate the monarch and take the crown. If the king looks over his shoulder mid-charge, release Space immediately; dropping your weapon lets you bow as a loyal courtier and avoid being thrown into the dungeon.
The dynamic reverses the moment you wear the crown. As king, you must keep an eye on the ambitious adviser creeping behind you. Turn around at the exact moment they raise a weapon to catch them red-handed and secure your reign. Hesitate or mistime your turn, and the throne changes hands again.
Tips for Murder
- Watch the shoulder turn
Look for subtle shifts in the king’s posture before holding Space. - Cancel strikes immediately
Release Space instantly when the king turns to pose harmlessly and survive. - Anticipate adviser strikes
When ruling, watch for sudden pauses or raised arms from behind and spin around to protect the crown.
