About the Game

Over the last 5 years, there has been a murder every Halloween night. Are all of these killings connected? Is this the work of the infamous Monroe Murderer?

The police continue to refuse to confirm that these Halloween killings could be related. To date, no one has been brought to justice for their horrific acts. What could authorities be hiding?

It's one week before Halloween and somewhere in a small town, the patrons of Monroe Street Coffee start to use you as the liaison for their love connection. How you engage with them will influence the outcome of the story.

Gameplay

Monroe Murders is a decision-driven Visual Novella.  The story is broken into 10 chapters.  During each chapter, the player will engage with 1 or 2 characters and help them get to know each other better.  The choices you make will determine the overall outcome of the game.

In this story, you play as a barista, who begins to get too close to something more dangerous than they had bargained for when building an innocent love connection between two acquaintances leads you closer to uncovering the truth of the Monroe Murders.
