![]() The circumstances around this event are mysterious to say the least, and that the player is thrust into the situation with almost zero context is a bold attempt at pretexting the game’s detective themes - in death, as in life, you need to put together the shattered pieces that lead to your demise, which is also linked to a serial killer who’s been terrorising the town this past while. Losing her, though, meant he buried his headstrong noggin into his work, and this has lead to him not only being thrown out of a four-storey window, but shot in the chest with his own gun. The game, for the uninitiated, immediately projects you into the ghostly boots of one Ronan O’Connor - a Salem, Massachusetts criminal-turned-detective who found the right side of the law after he found the right side of life in love. In death, you can do more than you could in life sans tactile contact, and in Murdered: Soul Suspect, this is only a half truth. When you think of ghosts or the afterlife, you think of ubiquitous fluidity - whether it’s spectral or ectoplasmic, the stiff part of the person is left behind in this world and an energy is set free in another. ![]()
