About the Game

Every night, another villager dies.

You are a detective from outside, summoned by the village chief to uncover a string of murders in this isolated town.
Investigate bodies, talk to residents, and uncover the truth through interrogation.
Each NPC has their own personality and secrets to hide — a single word or question may cause their heartbeat to spike.

BearMurderer is a strategic psychological mystery set in a quiet, decaying village.
Read between the lines, watch for silence, and uncover the lies buried in plain sight.

🎮 Key Features

  • Dialogue-driven deduction – Every word is both a clue and a trap

  • Interrogation system – Detect lies by observing changes in NPC heart rate

  • Non-linear conversations – What you ask, and when you ask it, changes everything

  • Unfolding truth – Each day, a new death brings you one step closer to the killer

  • Multiple endings – One wrong judgment could cost an innocent life

In this village, your deduction is the only hope.
