Death by Deduction

Death by Deduction combines logic puzzles similar to Minesweeper with a country-house murder mystery set in 1970s England. After an eccentric millionaire dies under enigmatic circumstances, you investigate a gathering at a sprawling English manor, seeking the murderer before you become the next victim.

Investigate the manor

Search the manor for hidden clues that reveal evidence. Each piece of evidence is surrounded by clues you must uncover first. Evidence can include dead bodies, murder weapons, plot and story pieces, and red herrings. Higher difficulty settings open more areas of the manor to search.

Question suspects

Interrogate suspects to learn information about them and reveal elements of the current plot. The suspects include traditional mystery characters such as a reverend, a professor and a retired army major. Once you have collected all the evidence, you can arrest the murderer and conclude the investigation.

Cases and settings

The game includes 14 randomized plots and four unlockable difficulty levels, along with additional settings to customize your experience. A short tutorial introduces the game, and sessions take about 5–10 minutes depending on difficulty. It also includes more than 30 Steam achievements to attain, and uses stylized low-poly 3D graphics.
