About Murder Phone: Text Detective
You found a phone in the gutter outside a bar. Its owner never came back for it. Murder Phone is a text detective game: everything that happened that night is still on this phone, and you are the one holding it.
Open the message threads. Text the people in the contact list. They lie, they deflect, they get defensive, and every lie is checkable against something else on the phone: a photo with the wrong thing in the reflection, a payment that should not exist, a voicemail she never got to hear.
π Interrogate by text. Suspects answer back, dodge, and eventually crack.
π§Ύ Accuse with proof. Naming the killer is not enough - you pick the evidence that convicts them.
π± Search a whole phone. Messages, photos, banking, notes, voicemail, browser history.
π Locked apps are puzzles. The passcode is always somewhere in the story.
π Watch their trust. Push a suspect the wrong way and they stop answering.
π Seven cases, ten to twenty-three minutes each, each with a different killer.
βοΈ Plays fully offline. No account, no login, no connection needed.
π Written in English, Korean and Japanese.
The cases get harder as you go. The first one hands you the method. By the last you are holding a bank transfer against a timestamp against a photo somebody forgot to delete. Every case closes with a Detective Score: how much evidence you actually found, and how many innocent people you accused on the way.
Free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. No timers, no lives, nothing to wait for.
Every case is fiction. Cases are inspired by true events, with names, places and details changed.
Somebody's phone is unlocked in your hand. Start reading.
