About the Game

Welcome to your newest gig — solving murders in the Afterlife for Mx. Death, the grimmest of reapers!

The Afterlife is filled with nefarious deities who tirelessly make humans kill each other in the world of the living. Your job is to catch them using the clues left behind to arrange the Weapons, Motivations, and Locations that were present at the time of death.

Crime Reaper takes the intrigue of murder mystery logic puzzles, like Cluedo and Inspector Parker, and combines it with the ingenuity and simplicity of Sudoku. There are over 16,000 possible murder scenarios that can occur and likely millions of different puzzle variations. To top it off, there are 14 different criminals to catch in Career mode with plenty of hijinks for you and Mx. Death to experience.
