About the Game

Procedural Whodunit Murder Mystery Detective Cruise Vacation Simulator

It is 1982 and you are the world's most famous detective - and taking a well-deserved vacation on your favorite cruise ship - The Stella. But there's a murder. Again.

Murder on the Stella is a murder mystery adventure cruise ship vacation simulator. Wait, is this even a genre? Anyway, it's different each time you play - different cases, different suspects, different weapons, different motives. And different destinations.

Investigate!

Inspect the ship, search for clues and weapons, interrogate suspects - and solve the case before the ship reaches its destination.

Convict!


In classical murder mystery fashion... you know everything about the killer, the weapon and the motive? Then gather the passengers and crew in the ship's lobby and solve the murder.

Relax!


Enjoy the life aboard the ship - it's your vacation isn't it? Play arcade games, go to the gym, take a swim in the pool, get a drink at the bar. And maybe there's a clue as well.

Travel!



Different destinations make each cruise a unique experience - marvel at the pyramids of Egypt or savor a starlit night in the Arctic Ocean.
