A Death in Hyperspace

This is definitely my cup of tea - a scifi murder mystery where you are the ship's computer trying to figure out who killed the captain. I really like the work that has gone into the premise and writing of this game, and the mechanics are really clever. Learning the backstories of the characters and piecing together their motivations is an intensely satisfying way to experience a story.

I thought the time limit would be irritating but it did really ramp up the tension in quite an interesting way.

I felt that A Death in Hyperspace is trying something a bit different and mostly succeeding. I recommend giving it a play.

There are some negative points but they are slightly spoilerish, if you have any interest in this kind of thing just play the game before reading on - it is short and enjoyable.

(Spoiler - click to show)With so much effort put into creating the world and the fascinating characters, I was disappointed that the actual murderer is random. Normally I am all for replayability but for a murder mystery I like a definitive answer and learning that it changes every playthrough cheapens it a little bit in my opinion. There is never that "a-ha!" moment where the subtle clue clicks into place and the solution revealed.
